Predator lamps are used to improve the illumination of distant dark objects. The Predator lamps are normally
set to maximum intensity to increase the distance at which objects can be seen. When the Predator lamps
are ON and the camera tilts downwards to view nearby objects, the illumination could be too bright. This could
cause the quality of the image to be reduced. Some Predators include the ‘intelligent lighting’ feature which
allows the intensity of the illumination to be reduced when the Predator tilts down below a particular angle (i.e.
the ‘Low Light Angle’). Below this angle the power to the lamps is reduced to the percentage value that has
been set (i.e. ‘Low Lights Value’).
Shutter
•
Fast Shutter - Option to enable fast shutter and set speed of the shutter.
•
Slow Shutter - Option to alter the slow shutter speed. Altering this figure will have an effect on the low
light capabilities of the camera.
