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.
•
DWDR (Digital 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, DWDR balances the brightness level of the whole image to provide 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
: The noise will be amplified when setting the AGC level. The higher the level is, the more
obvious the noise is.
DAY/NIGHT
You can set the DAY/NIGHT mode to COLOR, BW (Black White) or AUTO.
•
COLOR: The image is colored in day mode all the time.
•
B & W (Black and White): The image is black and white all the time. IR LIGHT is on in the poor light
conditions. You can turn the IR LIGHT on and off and set the value of SMART IR in this menu.
B & W sub-menu
IR LIGHT: You can turn the IR LIGHT on or off to improve the image.
SMART IR: Use the Smart IR function to adjust the light to its most suitable level, and prevent the
image from over exposure. The SMART IR value can be adjusted from 0 to 3. The higher the value is,
the more obvious effects are.
•
AUTO: Automatically switch Color, or B&W (Black and White) according to actual scene brightness.
You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT, and set the value of SMART IR in this menu.
