(1) Wide Dynamic
Range
WDR effectively balances the video image on the screen in both bright and dark areas making it possible to see clear details. You can choose from 3 levels depending on your choice or disable WDR.
(2) Denoise
Select Disable/2D/3D to reduce the excessive noise on the video image.
Auto - automatically switch between 2D and 3D. Use Sensitivity option to adjust sensitive level. The higher level means the higher sensitivity.
(3) IR-cut Filter
The IR cut filter is a mechanism that prevents the infrared light from hitting the sensor. During day time the IR light has an interfering effect on the image quality of the camera, which leads to corruption of color and contrast as well as blurring. At night time, the infrared light is used to achieve more detailed images in the dark or with low ambient light.
Auto – automatically switch on/off the IR cut filter. It uses the light sensor in front of the camera to determine the level of ambient light.
Day Mode – switch on the IR cut filter at all time to prevent the IR light from hitting the sensor so that the color will not be corrupted.
Night Mode – switch off the IR cut filter at all time to let the sensor receives the IR light which could help improve low light sensitivity.
Schedule – specify the time on when to switch off the IR cut filter to night mode. The time format is hh:mm and in 24-hour clock time.

Name
Function
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) by default use this setting if there is a need to maintain the image quality whenever there is lot of activities on the scene or no motion. This setting keeps the video stream constant as possible which increases the bandwidth requirement when there is high motion and decreases when there is no motion. The bandwidth must be able to accommodate high throughputs. CBR (Constant Bit Rate) use this setting if there is bandwidth concern. This setting is restricted to keep the bit rate setting. This could affect the image quality and frame rate if there is high activity that result in a bit rate that is higher than the set bit rate.
