Image settings

On this page, you can tune the White balance and Image adjustment.

White balance

: Adjust the value for the best color temperature.

■ You may follow the steps below to adjust the white balance to the best color temperature.

1. Place a sheet of paper of white or cooler-color temperature color, such as blue, in front of the 

lens, then allow the Network Camera to automatically adjust the color temperature.

2. Click the 

On

 button to 

Fix current value

 and confirm the setting while the white balance is being 

measured.   

■ You may also manually tune the color temperature by pulling the RGain and BGain slide bars. 

Image Adjustment

■ Brightness: Adjust the image brightness level, which ranges from -5 to +5.

■ Contrast: Adjust the image contrast level, which ranges from -5 to +5. 

■ Saturation: Adjust the image saturation level, which ranges from 0% to 100%. 

■ Sharpness: 

Adjust the image sharpness level, which ranges from 0% to 100%. 

■ Gamma curve: 

Adjust the image sharpness level, which ranges from 0% to 100%. 

  You may let firmware 

Optimize

 your display or select the 

Manual

 mode, and pull the slide bar 

pointer to change the preferred level of Gamma correction towards higher contrast or towards the 

higher luminance for detailed expression in both dark and lighted areas of an image. 

■ Enable low light compensation: Select this option in low light mode, and the values of sharpness 

and brightness will change automatically. This function also benefits from an automated noise 

reduction feature.
