Exposure control:
■
Exposure level
: You can manually set the Exposure level, which ranges from -2.0 to +2.0 (dark
to bright). You can click and drag the semi-circular pointers on the
Exposure time
and
Gain
control
slide bars to specify a range of shutter time and Gain control values within which the
camera can automatically tune to an optimal imaging result. You may prefer a shorter shutter
time to better capture moving objects, while a faster shutter reduces light and needs to be
compensated by electrical brightness gains.

The inclusive window refers to the “weighed window“; the exclusive window refers to “ignored
window“. It adopts the weighed averages method to calculate the value. The inclusive windows
have a higher priority. You can overlap these windows, and, if you place an exclusive window
within a larger inclusive window, the exclusive part of the overlapped windows will be deducted
from the inclusive window. An exposure value will then be calculated out of the remaining of the
inclusive window.
■ BLC (Back Light Compensation): This option will automatically add a “weighted region“ in the
middle of the window and give the necessary light compensation.

Auto
: If you set Exposure mode as
Auto
, the Exposure time and Gain control will not be
configurable since the sensor library will automatically adjust the value according to the ambient
light. Then you can configure iris mode as “indoor” or “outdoor” to reach the best image quality.

Iris mode
:
Select Indoor or Outdoor iris mode to adapt to the installation. The preset iris aperture
setting will apply.
