3.5 Back focus adjustment

To optimize picture sharpness in both bright and low-level
lighting, adjust the back focus. Use the camera's unique Lens
Wizard. This ensures that the object of interest always remains
in focus, even when focusing at the maximum lens iris opening
(for example, at night).
– When back focusing varifocal lenses, adjust to obtain a

sharp picture in both wide-angle and tele positions for

both far and near focus.
– When back focusing zoom lenses, ensure the object of

interest remains in focus throughout the entire zoom range

of the lens.
To adjust back focus:

1. Open the slide door panel at the side of the camera.

3.6 Mounting the camera

The camera can be mounted either from the top or from the
bottom (1/4" 20 UNC thread). The bottom mounting is isolated
from ground to prevent ground loops.

Figure 3.7 Mounting a camera

CAUTION!

Do not point the camera/lens into direct sunlight as this may
damage the sensors.

3.7 Day/Night switching

The camera is equipped with a motorized IR filter. The
mechanical IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR
illuminated applications by software configuration settings.
If Auto switching mode is selected, the camera automatically
switches the filter depending on the observed light level. The
switching level is programmable. In Auto switching mode the
camera prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images
without motion blur as long as the light level permits) or color
(the camera gives color pictures as long as the light level
permits). The camera recognizes IR illuminated scenes to
prevent unwanted switching to color mode.
There are three different methods of controlling the IR filter:
– via an alarm input,
– via Bilinx communication, or
– automatically, based on the observed light levels.

along the coaxial cable. All menus can be accessed remotely
giving full control of the camera. With this method of
communication it is also possible to disable the local keys on
the camera.To avoid loss of communication on an installed
camera, the COMM On/Off selection is not available while
using remote control. This function can only be accessed with
the camera buttons. Bilinx communications can only be
disabled using the buttons on the camera.

Glossary

A

AES

Automatic Electronic Shutter (see Electronic iris).

Aperture

The size of the opening in the lens iris that controls the amount
of light reaching the CCD Sensor. The larger the F-number, the
less light reaches the sensor. An increase of one F-stop, halves
the amount of light reaching the sensor.

Auto Level Control (ALC)

The adjustment of the video level to give the desired brightness
level. This can be done electronically or by means of an iris
control.

Auto White Balance (AWB)

A feature that allows a color camera to automatically adjust its
output color to give a natural color, independent of the lighting
used.

AutoBlack

A technique of boosting the video signal level to produce a full
amplitude video signal, even when the scene contrast is less
than full range (glare, fog, mist, etc.).

AutoIris

The lens iris opening is automatically adjusted to allow the
correct illumination of the camera sensor. With a direct drive
(DC) iris lens, the camera controls the aperture size. A video iris
lens has the control circuit in the lens itself.

Automatic Gain Control (AGC)

The electronics that regulate the gain or amplification of the
video signal. AGC is used in low-light conditions with the iris
fully open.

B

Back Light Compensation (BLC)

Selectively amplifies parts of the image to compensate for large

Bosch Security Systems Installation and Operation manual F.01U.163.823 | v1.0 | 2010.01

34 en | Glossary Dinion Day/Night Camera

contrast differences when only a portion of the image is brightly
lit (e.g. a person in a sunlit doorway). See also Smart BLC.

Backfocus

The distance between the image plane and the rear portion of
the lens. Correct backfocus adjustment ensures that the
camera remains in focus under various conditions.

Bilinx

A communications protocol that allows remote control,
configuration, and updates to be performed over the video
cable (Coax or Passive UTP).

Bilinx address

The address may be set locally using the Bilinx Configuration
Tool for Imaging Devices (CTFID).

C

CCD Format

Indicates the size of the camera sensor used. In general, the
larger the sensor, the more sensitive the camera and the better
the image quality. The format is quoted in inches, for example
1/3 or 1/2 inch.

Charged Coupled Device (CCD)

A CCD is a type of solid state image sensor used in CCTV
cameras. The sensor converts light energy into electrical
signals.

Color Temperature

A measure of the relative color of illumination. Generally used
to specify the color balance correction of a camera to achieve a
natural color image.

D

Day/Night (infrared sensitive)

A camera that has normal color operation in situations where
there is sufficient illumination (day conditions), but where the
sensitivity can be increased when there is little light available
(night conditions). This is achieved by removing the infrared cut
filter required for good color rendition. The sensitivity can be

Dinion Day/Night Camera Glossary | en 35

further enhanced by integrating a number of fields to improve
the signal-to-noise ratio of the camera (this may introduce
motion blur).

Default Shutter

A feature allowing the shutter speed to be set to a fast speed to
eliminate motion blur and provide a detailed and clear image of
fast-moving objects while there is sufficient light. When light
levels fall and other adjustments have been exhausted, the
shutter speed reverts to the standard setting to maintain
sensitivity.

Depth of Field

The distance from the nearest to the furthermost point that
appears in focus. The smaller the aperture, the greater the
depth of field.

Dynamic Noise Reduction (DNR)

A digital video processing technique that measures the noise
(image artifacts) in the picture and automatically reduces it.

E

Electronic iris

Electronic iris (or AES - Automatic Electronic Shutter) adjusts
the camera shutter speed to compensate for lighting changes.
In some cases this can eliminate the need for an autoiris lens.

F

F-Number

The standard measure of the lens aperture, which is the iris
diameter, divided by the focal length of the lens. The lower the
maximum aperture (F-Number or F-Stop), the more light that

passes through the lens.
F-Stop See F-Number
Field of View

The measure of the visible area within the camera’s field of

view. The larger the focal length, the smaller the field of view.

The smaller the focal length, the wider the field of view.

Bosch Security Systems Installation and Operation manual F.01U.163.823 | v1.0 | 2010.01

36 en | Glossary Dinion Day/Night Camera

Focal Length

The distance from the optical center of the lens to the image of
an object located at an infinite distance from the lens. Long
focal lengths give a small field of view (e.g. telephoto effect),
while short focal lengths give a wide angle view.

I

Infrared Illumination

Electromagnetic radiation (light) with a longer wavelength than
is visible to the human eye. IR illumination is prominent at dusk
and dawn and in incandescent lamps. IR illuminators come in
the form of lamps with the appropriate filters, LEDs, or lasers.
CCD sensors are less sensitive to IR than visible light, but IR
can significantly increase the total illumination level, leading to
a much better image at low light levels.

IRE (Institute of Radio Engineers)

A measurement of video amplitude that divides the area from
the bottom of sync to peak white level into 140 equal units ­140 IRE equals 1V peak-to-peak. The range of active video is
100 IRE.

L

Lens wizard

The lens wizard is used when setting the backfocus. It opens
the iris fully while maintaining the correct video level using AES.

Lux

The international (SI) unit of measurement of the intensity of
light. It is equal to the illumination of a surface one meter away
from a single candle.

O

OSD

On-screen Display: Menus are shown on the display monitor.

P

Privacy Masking

The ability to mask out a specific area to prevent it from being

viewed in order to comply with privacy laws and particular site

requirements.
PWIE

Peak White Inverse Engine: White highlights are automatically

turned black to reduce bright spots. Useful in traffic and car

park applications.

R

Region of Interest

A specific area within a field of view, used by the motion

detection algorithm to identify motion.
Resolution

The measure of the fine detail that can be seen in an image. For

analog systems this is typically measured in horizontal

Television Lines or TVL. The higher the TVL rating, the higher

the resolution.

S

Saturation

The amplitude of the chrominance signal affecting the vividness

of the color.
Sensitivity

A measure of the amount of light required to provide a standard

video signal. Sensitivity values are stated in lux (see Lux).
SensUp (sensitivity up)

Increases camera sensitivity by increasing the integration time

on the CCD (lowering shutter time from 1/50 to 1/5 s). This is

accomplished by integrating the signal from a number of

consecutive video fields to reduce signal noise.
Signal-to-noise ratio

The ratio between a useful video signal and unwanted noise

measured in dB.

Smart BLC (Back Light Compensation)

Smart back-light compensation allows the camera to
automatically compensate for bright areas of a high contrast
scene without having to define a window or area.

U

UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)

A variant of twisted pair cabling, UTP cable is not surrounded
by any shielding. The wires in a twisted pair cable are twisted
around each other to minimize interference from the other
twisted pairs in the cable. UTP is the primary wire type for
telephone usage and the most commonly used type of
networking cable.

V

VMD Video Motion Detection: An algorithm for motion detection in

which the camera compares the current image with a reference
image and counts the number of pixels that have changed
between the two images. An alarm is generated when the
number of pixel changes exceeds a user-configured threshold.

W

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)

A cameras dynamic range is the difference between the
minimum and maximum acceptable signal levels. A scene with
both very low and very high illumination levels requires a
camera with a wide dynamic range to handle it correctly and
produce a useful image.
