6.1. LENS
Here you can configure the lens setting.
LENS [DC, MANUAL] :
If you are using a lens with manual Iris, set this item to MANUAL. If you are using a DC
controlled lens, set it to DC.
- DC [INDOOR, OUTDOOR, DEBLUR]: You can select a mode depending on the
installation environment.
- MANUAL [NORMAL, DEBLUR]: You can select a mode depending on the installation
environment.
6.2. EXPOSURE
This function is used to control the light exposure.
4
English
BRIGHTNESS [0~20] :
Sets the value of auto exposure operations.
As the value increases, the screen gets
brighter.
SHUTTER [AUTO, MANUAL, FLICKER] :
Adjust the electronic shutter speed by selecting one of modes. If you select MANUAL,
the following sub-menu will appear.
- SPEED [for 25 fps: 1/25~1/30,000 / for 30
fps: 1/30~1/30,000]: Control the image
brightness by adjusting the shutter speed.
SENS-UP [x2~x32] :
This feature ensures clear images at night or under low light conditions.
AGC [0~20] :
This function is used to create brighter images. As the AGC value increases, the overall
screen gets brighter but the level of noise is also increasing.
6.3. WHITE BAL (White Balance)
This function is used to control the white balance under different lighting conditions.
Adjusting the setting calibrates the camera for correct and natural colour rendering.
WHITE BAL [ATW, AWB, AWC
- ATW: Select this mode when the colour temperature is between 1,800˚K and 10,500˚K.
- AWB: This function is used to search for colours that match the ambient environment
well. Select this mode when the colour temperature is between 3,000˚K and 7,000˚K.
→SET: To find the optimal luminance level for the current environment, point the
- AWC
camera towards a sheet of white paper and press the SET UP stick. If the environment
changes, re-adjust this setting.
→SET, MANUAL] :
English
5
- MANUAL: Select this option to fine-tune
the White Balance manually. Set the White
Balance first by using the ATW or the AWC
mode. After that switch to MANUAL mode
and press the SET UP stick. Fine-tune the
White Balance (KELVIN) and change the
BLUE and RED values to meet the best
result.
NOTE:
The White Balance may not work properly under the following conditions. If that is the
case, select the ATW or AWB mode (automatic mode).
1. When the colour temperature of the environment surrounding the subject is out of the
control range (e.g. clear sky or sunset).
2. When the ambient illumination of the subject is dim.
3. When the camera is directed towards a fluorescent light or is installed in a place
where the illumination changes dramatically, the White Balance operation may become
unstable.
6.4. BACKLIGHT
To overcome difficult light situations, this GRUNDIG camera features different options to
improve the image quality. You can choose between HLC, BLC, WDR, OFF.
This function is used for backlight compensation. Please choose from OFF, WDR, BLC
and HLC.
OFF: Deactivated.
HLC (High Light Compensation):
This function is used to surpress or mask a
strong light source (for example, headlights
of cars during night-time) so that other
subjects can be seen in more detail.
- LEVEL: Adjust the brightness level from
which on the light source is to be masked
out.
- MODE: Choose the mode.
6
English
BLC (Back Light Compensation):
This function is used to counterbalance the
screen image by increasing the brightness
so that a subject which appears dark due to
a strong backlight can be displayed in more
detail. If you select BLC, a submenu
appears where you can make finer
adjustments.
- H-POS/ V-POS/ H-SIZE/ V-SIZE: Define
the position and size of the area of interest
by changing the position & size.
WDR:
The WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) function
works to correct excessive light within the
frame to produce a usable image. When the
image has simultaneous bright and dark
areas, it makes both areas distinct. If you
select WDR, a submenu appears where you
can make finer adjustments.
- WEIGHT [MIDDLE, HIGH, LOW]: Select
the WDR level of the camera.
NOTE: The WDR function might lead to a reduced framerate and “ghost” effects in areas
with very bright background.
6.5. DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
This function is used to improve the picture quality by filtering the noise which is
generated under low bright light conditions. You can set 3 different levels [LOW,
MIDDLE, HIGH] here.
DNR [OFF, LOW, MIDDLE, HIGH] :
Using DNR (Digital Noise Reduction), you can control the noise on the screen. This is
especially useful when the image is very noisy due to low light.
NOTE: If the DNR function is used, the cancellation of the noise will be excellent. The
higher the compensation proportion is raised, the better the effect of noise cancellation
will be, but a ghost effect may also occur.
6.6. DAY/NIGHT
This function is used to improve the camera's sensitivity at night or when the brigthness
level of the ambient environment is low.
DAY & NIGHT [AUTO, COLOR, B/W, EXTERN] :
- EXTERN: The Day and Night function will be adjusted by the built-in Light Sensor.
English
7
> SMART IR [0~20] : This option controls
the IR LED (bright portion base), saturation
is not expected.
> EXTERN S / W [HIGH, LOW]: Set the
setting of the external Switch to HIGH or
LOW.
> DELAY [LOW, MIDDLE, HIGH]: Set the
working time of the D/N filter.
- AUTO: This mode switches to ‘Colour’ in a
normal environment, but switches to ‘B/W’
mode when the ambient illumination is low.
To set up the switching time for AUTO
mode, press the SET UP stick. In B/W
mode, you can turn the BURST signal ON
or OFF.
> SMART IR [0~20]: This option controls the IR LED (bright portion base), saturation is
not expected.
> AGC THRES [0-20]: Execute the Day/Night switch depending on the AGC level that is
used to increase the brightness of the image. Higher values require a darker illumination
to execute the switch.
> AGC MARGIN [0-20]: Define the difference between the Day/Night & Night/Day switch
based on AGC THRES. Higher values will increase this distance and can help to prevent
continuous switching between Day & Night mode.
> DELAY [LOW, MIDDLE, HIGH]: Set the working time of the D/N filter.
- COLOR: The picture will be always displayed in colour.
- B / W: The picture will be always displayed in black & white. In B/W mode, you can turn
the BURST signal ON or OFF.

English
> SMART IR [0~20]: This option controls
the IR LED (bright portion base), saturation
is not expected.
6.7. IMAGE
Here you can optimise the image quality by
adjusting different options.
SHARPNESS [0 ~ 20] :
Adjusts the image sharpness. If the level
goes up excessively, it may affect the video
image and generate a noise.

Changes the gamma curve of the camera.
COLOR GAIN [0 ~ 20] :
Control the saturation of colour of the video image.
MIRROR [ON, OFF] :

Flips the image vertically on the screen.
D-ZOOM [1.0x~8.0x] :
You can use the up to x8 bi-cubic linear digital zoom.
NOTE: Please note that the higher the digital zoom magnification is, the lower the
resolution will be.
ACE [OFF, LOW, MIDDLE, HIGH] :
This is an intelligent light level control to over come even strong backlight conditions. If
strong back light occurs, please set accordingly a higher value.
DEFOG [ON, OFF] :
This function helps to improve the image in a foggy or dusty weather condition. If you
choose ON, a sub-menu will appear. Here you can adjust the position, level and size of
the area where the defogging will be adjusted.
