MENU > SETUP > WHITE BALANCE
Set White Balance to ATW, AWC or MANUAL.
•
ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance):
Adjusts white balance automatically in
accordance with the change of lighting environment.
•
AWC>SET (Auto White Balance Control):
Adjusts white balance based on a
designated white object, such as a sheet of white paper or
a gray scale chart. Frame the standard white object, then
select the AWC>SET to set the camera’s white balance.
•
MANUAL:
Set BLUE and RED values from 1 to 100 manually,
to adjust color balance.
MENU > SETUP > DAY & NIGHT
Under DAY & NIGHT, set the camera to COLOR, B/W or EXT mode for Smart IR.
•
COLOR:
Set the camera to COLOR mode to keep the camera permanently in the
daytime (image) mode.
•
B/W:
Set the camera to B/W mode to keep the camera permanently in the nighttime
(black-and-white video image) mode.
•
EXT:
Set the camera to EXT for Smart IR to automatically switch between Daytime
color and night-time B/W modes based on the illumination conditions.
Additionally, set the camera’s IR LED to ON to enable IR automatically when in night-
time mode.
MENU > SETUP > NR
The Noise Reduction function removes image noise from static and moving video
images. Spatial (2D NR) and Temporal (3D NR) Noise Reduction options are supported
by your camera and can be combined.
•
2D NR:
Set to ON or OFF.
Spatial (2D NR) Noise Reduction
analyzes single frames
individually to distinguish pixels that likely represent noise.
2D NR does not produce motion blur.
•
3D NR:
Set to ON or OFF.
Temporal (3D NR) Noise Reduction
analyzes frames in
sequence to differentiate pixels that likely represent noise.
3D NR is very effective at reducing noise.
•
SMART NR:
Set to ON or OFF
• SENSITIVITY: Set the value from 0 to 100.
•
LEVEL:
Set 3D NR LEVEL value from 0 to 100.
•
START.AGC, END.AGC:
Set the START and END AGC
values from 0 to 100 to define the threshold of the automatic gain control.
MENU > SETUP > SPECIAL
SPECIAL setup contains settings for CAMERA TITLE, D-EFFECT,
MOTION, PRIVACY, DEFECT and VOLTAGE DETECTION functions.
•
CAM TITLE:
Enter and superimpose a descriptive camera
title onto the video feed.
•
D-EFFECT:
•
FREEZE:
Set to ON to permanently freeze the current live
frame on the screen.
•
MIRROR:
This function flips the video image on the
screen. Set MIRROR to OFF (keep image as is), MIRROR (flip horizontally), V-FLIP
(flip vertically) or ROTATE (flip image both horizontally
and vertically).
Note: MIRROR function is disabled if FREEZE is ON.
•
D-ZOOM:
Set to ON to digitally zoom into the video
image. This is a digital zoom function and not a true
optical zoom. The final image is not enhanced by digital
zoom - the number of pixels remains the same.
Note: D-ZOOM function is disabled when SMART
D-ZOOM is ON.
• D-ZOOM:
Set the digital zoom to one of the available
presets: x2.0, x2.1 - x3.9, x4.0 - x62.0.
• PAN&TILT: Move the Joystick in UP/DOWN/LEFT/
RIGHT directions to reposition the zoomed area on
the screen.
• DEFAULT: Select DEFAULT to reset D-ZOOM settings
back to factory defaults.
•
SMART D-ZOOM:
The camera can be programmed to
zoom into one of two pre-configured areas.
Note: SMART D-ZOOM function is disabled when
D-ZOOM is ON.
• SELECT: Select AREA1 or AREA2.
• DISPLAY: Set selected AREA to ON to enable. Move
the Joystick in UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT directions to reposition selected area on
the screen. Press the Joystick button to save the new area position.
• D-ZOOM: Set the digital zoom level to one of the presets: x2.0, x2.1 - x3.9,
x4.0 - x62.0.
Note: As the D-ZOOM number increases, the physical area on
screen will become smaller. You may want to re-position the adjusted area on
the screen after changing D-ZOOM setting.

• DEFAULT: Select DEFAULT to reset SMART D-ZOOM settings to factory defaults.
•
NEG IMAGE:
Set the NEG IMAGE to ON to show a negative of the camera’s video
image (darkest and lightest areas of the image appear reversed).
•
MOTION:
Set up to 4 separate motion detection areas in the camera’s field of view.
•
SELECT:
Select one of 4 available motion detection areas (AREA1-AREA4)
•
DISPLAY:
To change the selected area’s position and size,
follow instructions under DEFOG POS/SIZE section.
•
SENSITIVITY:
Set the SENSITIVITY value from 0 to 60
•
MOTION VIEW:
When enabled, the areas with detected
motion will be highlighted on the screen.
•

DEFECT:
An image sensor may have permanent bright or dark pixels, called dead
pixels, due to physical defects. These dead pixels are much brighter/darker than their
neighboring pixels and will create noise on the video image. DPC (Dead Pixel Correction)
is a function that is designed to remove these dead pixels dynamically from the live
video (LIVE DPC) or based on saved predefined pixel locations
(STATIC DPC).
•
LIVE DPC:
Set LIVE DPC function to OFF, AUTO, or ON. When
set to ON, LIVE DPC LEVEL can be configured.
• LEVEL: When LIVE DPC is set to ON, set the LEVEL value
from 0 to 100.
•
STATIC DPC:
Set to ON to execute STATIC DPC function to
locate and record the positions of all dead pixels on the image sensor (CMOS).
• START: Cover the lens or close the iris to prevent light from entering the lens and
press the Joystick key to launch STATIC DPC function.
• LEVEL: Set the LEVEL value from 0 to 60.
• SENS-UP: Set the SENS-UP value to: x2, x4, x6, x8, x10,
x15, x20, x25, or x30.
• AGC: Set the AGC value from 0 to 8.
•
VOLTAGE DET:
Detect voltage levels that are too high or too
low.
• When the input voltage is 30% lower than the calibrated
voltage, the word UNDERVOLTAGE flashes on the screen.
• When the input voltage is 30% higher than the calibrated
voltage, the word OVERVOLTAGE flashes on the screen.
