Main Menu
Exposure submenu
Use the Exposure submenu to adjust the Brightness, Exposure Mode, AGC (Automatic Gain Control), and
Slow Shutter.
Brightness
: Brightness refers to the average brightness of the image. You can set the brightness
value from 1 (darkest) to 10 (brightest).
Exposure Mode
: You can set the Exposure Mode to Global, BLC, HLC, or WDR. Click the left/right
(
t
/
u
) direction buttons to show your selection.
—
Global
: Global refers to the normal exposure mode which adjusts lighting distribution,
variations, and non-standard processing.
—
BLC
(Backlight Compensation): If the background is very bright compared to objects in front, BLC
brightens objects in the front to make them more visible.
—
HLC
(High Light Compensation): HLC masks strong light sources that excessively brighten areas
of the scene. This makes it possible to see details of the image that would normally be darkened
by the camera’s brightness compensation.
—
WDR
(Wide Dynamic Range): Use WDR to help the camera produce clear images even with
strong backlight. WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provides clear
images with details. When WDR is selected as the exposure mode, you can set it as low,
medium, high or off.
AGC
(Automatic Gain Control): It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The AGC
level can be set as High, Medium, or Low. Select Off to disable the AGC function.
NOTE
: The noise is
amplified when the AGC is on.
Slow Shutter
: Slow Shutter increases the exposure time of a single frame, which makes the camera
more sensitive to light. Therefore, it can produce images even under low lux conditions. You can set
the Slow Shutter as Off, x2, x4 under 8 MP @ 15 fps, or 8 MP @ 12.5 fps mode, and as Off, x2, x4, x6,
x8, or x16 under other modes according to different light conditions.
WB (White Balance) submenu
White balance, the white rendition function of the camera, is to adjust the color temperature according to
the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can set WB mode to Auto, Manual,
or Natural.
Auto
: Under Auto mode, white balance is being adjusted automatically according to the color
temperature of the scene illumination.
Manual
: Click Iris+ to enter the submenu, you can set the R Gain/B Gain value from 1 to 255 to adjust
the shades of red/blue color of the image.
Natural
: Set the white balance as the Natural mode, when large part of the monitoring scene is
monochrome.
Day Night submenu
Color, BW (Black White), and AUTO are selectable for DAY and NIGHT switches.
Color
: The image is colored in day mode all the time.
B/W
: The image is black and white all the time, and the IR light turns on in the poor light conditions.
Auto
: The image switches from color to B/W, or from B/W to color automatically according to the
light conditions. Click
Iris+
to enter the submenu, you can turn on/off the IR Light and set the value of
Smart IR in this menu.
—
IR Light
: You can turn on/off the IR Light to meet the requirements of different circumstances.
—
Smart IR
: The Smart IR function is used to adjust the light to its most suitable intensity, and
prevent the image from over exposure. You can turn on/off this function.
