•
Pan/Tilt Speed - Can be used to set the pan/tilt speed. Options are Normal, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%
Slower, 20%, 40%, 60% or 80% Faster. Default is normal.
•
Thermal Camera - If a thermal camera is fitted this option when enabled will give control options of
the thermal camera.
Thermal Colour: White Hot, Black Hot, Ice and Fire, Glow Bow and Iron Bow.
Thermal Gain Control: Histogram, Linear and Auto Bright.
•
Night Changeover - Night Changeover settings can be changed to suit the site requirements. Options
are dark, medium, light and custom. Default is dark.
This sets when the camera goes into ‘dark
mode’.
•
Custom On Level - Range is 7 to 25. A lower value will set the level on when the scene is brighter, a
higher value will set the level on when the scene is darker. Default is 7.
•
Custom Off Level - Range is 1 to 20. A lower value will set the level off when the scene is brighter, a
higher value will set the level off when the scene is darker. Default is 1.
•
Night Brightness - This controls the exposure compensation, by artificially brightening the image.
Options are normal and auto. Default is normal.
• Night Illumination - Choose which type of light source is required for when the camera is in dark
mode. Options are IR or white light if supported by the camera.
• Night Intensity - Set what power the lamps will run at. Default is 100%.
• Night Sensor - Can be set to colour or mono. Default is mono.
• Night Focus Range - Sets how the camera will focus (when in mono) to suit the light source in the
scene. If this is set incorrectly the image may not be in focus.
• Night Focus Sens - This can be set to normal or low. When it is set to low the method used to focus
the camera is suited to low light conditions. Default is low.
• Night Aperture - Can be used to increase the picture detail. Default is 3.
• Night Noise Reduction - Used to reduce noise with scenes of low illumination. NR must be set to suit
the environment. Default is off.
• Night Presets - This can be used to set the presets to different settings if required. Default is off.
(See Advanced Features - page 49).
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 ‘Dim Light Angle’). Below this angle the power to the lamps is reduced to the percentage value that has
been set (i.e. ‘Dim Lights intensity’).
• Dim Lights Angle - Sets angle when reduced illumination intensity is used.
• Dim Lights Intensity - Sets illumination intensity.
• Night HLC Level - Set a value to help mask high intensity light sources, options are low, medium and
high.
• Night HLC Mask - Sets a mask for the light source, options are 1 (white) to 15 (grey)
• Wiper Rest Time - Set wiper rest time.
•
Wiper On Time - Set time period for how long wiper will run.
• Auto Dimming - When selected the camera will reduce the lamp power, when looking in scenes
where there is to much light.
• White Lamps - Set if white lights are to be used.
• White Timer - Set white light timer, for automatic switch off.
•
White Exclusion - Option to be used if a white light exclusion area is to be used, set area using
presets 151 (left) & 152 (right).
• Home Action - This sends the camera to a preset, tour or mimic after a period of inactivity.
• Home Number - This sets the preset, tour or mimic the camera will go to/start.
• Home Timer - This sets the time for the period of inactivity.
• Steady Shot - Can be used to reduce camera shake from the picture.
• Status Refresh Rate - Can be used to help speed up telemetry control of the camera, by slowing
down the refresh rate.
