Picture Additional
Wide Dynamic Range
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that allows viewing of high contrast scenes that include both bright and
low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).
WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favour a underexposed or overexposed image. By selecting the
lower end of the control the image is underexposed which provides more detail in areas of bright but less details in
areas of darkness. Selecting the higher end of the control the image is overexposed which provides more detail in
the dark areas but less details in the bright areas.
A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions
simultaneously, for example, in a warehouse area with an open bay door.
Procedure 3-13 Disable/Enable Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
Step Action
1Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.

- End -
Day Night Mode
IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light performance.
When needed one of these functions, the True TDN mechanism, removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of
the imager allowing the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional near-infrared energy found in
many lighting sources like halogen, moonlight, etc.
This, along with slowing down another function, the shutter speed, significantly improves low light performance
rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.
IR Illuminator
When the camera is in B/W mode it can utilize or “see” near-IR illumination; something the human eye cannot do.
This can be extremely powerful when the dome is paired with 850~950nm IR illuminators. With this combination a
scene can be well lit with IR light that the dome can see but people cannot. This is great for areas where externally
lighting is not allowed or there is a need for covert security.
1Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.
2Select the Picture Additional from the Basic Configuration menu.
3Select the Enable IR Illuminator check box to enable IR Illuminator.
OR
Deselect the Enable IR Illuminator check box to disable IR Illuminator.
The default setting is ‘Enabled’.
- End -
Day Night Mode
The dome provides a black-and-white (B/W) mode to improve camera performance when the light level falls below
certain thresholds. This allows clear images to be obtained under low-light conditions. There are three Day/Night
settings:Forced Color, Forced B/W and Auto.
Procedure 3-15 Configure Day Night Mode
Step Action
1Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.
2Select the Picture Additional from the Basic Configuration menu.

• Forced Color - enable full-time color mode.
• Forced B/W - enable full-time black and white mode.
• Auto Low- camera will adjust between BW and Color depending on light levels.
• Auto Mid - camera will give a good balance of Color and BW depending on the scene.
• Auto High - increases the chance of switching to BWmode as light levels drop.
• Manual - a slider bar will display, the user can adjust the setting to suit the environment.
The default setting is 'Auto Low'.

These streams can be configured via the Web User Interface, as detailed here or via the Illustra API.
Video displayed on the video pane will reflect the settings configured in the stream selected from the drop-down
menu, either Stream 1 or Stream 2 or Stream 3.

Edge Recording
Camera can directly record specific events (MD, DIO and Face detection) directly to SD card. User can chose
either Stream 1, 2 or 3 to be recorded. When setting up motion detection on the camera, both streams can be
used. Alarm Video is configured in the Edge Recording > Record Settings menu.
Integration with other Illustra API Clients
The 3 video streams can be configured via the Web User Interface, as detailed here, or via the Illustra API
interface. Changes made to the streams via either method will be applied and the video will be displayed
according to the configuration.
Opening the Web User Interface live video will allow the stream to be shared with the Illustra API and will
minimize the impact on camera resources.
