VIDEO FORMAT
You can set the video format as 2MP @ 25 fps, or 2 MP @ 30 fps.

When switching the video output to CVBS, you can set the video format to either PAL or NTSC.
EXPOSURE
Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters, which can be adjusted by EXPOSURE MODE, and
AGC.
EXPOSURE menu
EXPOSURE MODE: You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC, and DWDR.
GLOBAL: Refers to the normal exposure mode which performs exposure according to the brightness of the
entire image.
BLC (Backlight Compensation): BLC adjusts the brightness for the front objects when the background is
bright. This may cause the overexposure of the background.
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): DWDR helps the camera provide clear images even under backlight
circumstances. When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image, WDR
balances the brightness level of the whole image and provides clear images with details.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control): Optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The AGC level can
be set to HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW.
Note
: Noise is amplified when increasing the AGC level. The higher the level is, the more obvious
the noise is.
SLOW SHUTTER: SLOW SHUTTER increases the exposure time on a single frame, which makes a camera
more sensitive to the light so it can produce images even in low lux conditions.
You can set the SLOW SHUTTER function as OFF, x2, x4, x6, x8, x10, x12, x14, or x16 for different light
conditions.
VIDEO SETTINGS
Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and click Iris+ to enter the submenu. In this menu you can set the
