1Configuration

The camera normally provides an optimal picture without the need for further adjustments. Advanced set-up options are available in a menu system for getting the best results under special circumstances.

The camera implements your changes immediately so that before and after settings are easily compared.

1.2Pre-defined modes

There are six pre-defined modes with settings to make configuration easier. You can select one of the six pre-defined modes in the Install/Mode submenu. The modes are defined as follows;

1.24-hour

Default installation mode to provide stable pictures over a 24-hour period. These settings are optimized for out-of- the-box installation.

2.Traffic

Capture high-speed objects using default shutter in variable lighting conditions.

3.Low light

Provide extra enhancement, such as AGC and SensUp to make usable pictures in low-light conditions.

4.Smart BLC

Settings optimized to capture details in high contrast and extremely bright-dark conditions.

5.Low noise

Enhancements are set to reduce picture noise. Useful for conditional refresh DVR and IP storage systems because reducing noise reduces the amount of storage required.

6.Vibrant

This mode has enhanced contrast, sharpness and saturation.

1.3Day/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 four different methods of controlling the IR filter:

–via Bilinx communication,

–automatically, based on the observed light levels, or

–as part of the programmable mode profile.

1.4Camera control communication (Bilinx)

This camera is equipped with a coaxial communications transceiver (also referred to as Bilinx). In combination with VPCFGSFT, the camera setting can be changed from any point 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 Communication 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.

Disabled camera buttons

When the Bilinx communications link is active, the buttons on the camera are disabled.
