–
Power line frequency—Set the power line frequency consistent with local utility settings to
eliminate image flickering associated with fluorescent lights.
–
Video orientation:
- Flip—Vertically reflect the display of the live video
- Mirror—Horizontally reflect the display of the live video. Select both options if the camera is
installed upside-down (for example, on the ceiling) to correct the image orientation. If you have
preset locations, those locations will be cleared after flip/mirror setting.
•
Rotate—Indicates clockwise rotation. Rotation can be applied with flip, mirror, and physical lens
rotation settings to adapt to different mounting locations.
The camera may be installed on a vertical, side-facing, or tilted surface in order to accommodate the
interior or exterior design of a building. The interior of a building can be shaped as a narrow rectangular
space, such as corridor. The conventional HD image, such as that of a 16:9 aspect ratio, will be
incongruous with its wide horizontal view. With video rotation, the camera can more readily cover the
field of view on a tall and narrow scene.
Day/Night settings
•
Switch to B/W in night mode—Select this to enable the camera to automatically switch to
Black/White during night mode.
•
Turn on external IR illuminator in night mode—Select this to turn on the external IR illuminator
when the camera detects low light condition and enters the night mode. A Digital Output connection
to external IR is needed.
•
IR cut filter—With a removable IR-cut filter, this camera can automatically remove the filter to let
IR light enter the light sensor during low light conditions.
–
Auto mode—The camera automatically removes the filter by judging the level of ambient light.
–
Day mode—In day mode, the camera switches on the IR cut filter at all times to block infrared
light from reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted.
–
Night mode—In night mode, the camera switches off the IR cut filter at all times for the sensor
to accept infrared light, thus helping to improve low light sensitivity.
–
Synchronize with digital input—The camera automatically removes the IR cut filter when a
Digital Input is triggered. For example, the digital input can come from a housing that is
equipped with IR illumination and control circuits.
–
Schedule mode—The camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specified
schedule. Enter the start and end time for day mode. Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and
is expressed in 24-hour clock time. By default, the start and end time of day mode are set to
07:00 and 18:00.
•
Light sensor sensitivity—Tune the responsiveness of the IR filter to lighting conditions as Low,
Normal, or High.
