UM DS-2CEx6H0T-xIT3ZF 042318NA 12

Figure 20 EXPOSURE

4.3 EXPOSURE MODE

You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC,
and DWDR.

• GLOBAL

Normal exposure mode, which sets exposure
according to the whole image brightness.

• BLC (Backlight Compensation)

BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates light
for the front object to make it clear, but may
cause the overexposure of the background, where
the light is strong.

• DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)

DWDR helps the camera provide clear images

even when backlit. When both very bright and
very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image,
DWDR balances the brightness level of the whole
image to provide clear images with details.

4.4

AGC (Automatic Gain Control)

Optimizes image clarity in poor light conditions. The
AGC level can be set as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW.
Select OFF to disable the AGC function.

Note:

The noise will be amplified when the AGC is ON.

4.5 DAY/NIGHT

COLOR, BW (Black White), and AUTO are selectable

for DAY/NIGHT switch.

• COLOR

The image is color in day mode all the time.

• B & W (Black and White)

The image is black and white all the time, and the
IR LIGHT turns on in the poor light conditions.

You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT and set the value of
SMART IR in this menu.

UM DS-2CEx6H0T-xIT3ZF 042318NA 13

Figure 21 B&W

• IR LIGHT

You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT to meet the
requirements of different circumstances.

• SMART IR

The Smart IR function is used to adjust the light to
its most suitable intensity, and prevent the image
from over exposure. The SMART IR value can be
adjusted from 1 to 3. The higher the value, the
more obvious the effects.

4.6 AUTO

Automatically switch Color or BW (Black and White)
according to actual scene brightness.

You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT, and set the value of
SMART IR in this menu.

Figure 22 AUTO

• IR LIGHT

You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT to meet the
requirements of different circumstances.

• SMART IR

The Smart IR function adjusts the light to its most
suitable intensity and prevents the image from
overexposure. The SMART IR value can be
adjusted from 1 to 3. The higher the value, the
more obvious the effect.

• D N Threshold (Day to Night Threshold)

Day to Night Threshold is used to control the

sensitivity of switching the day mode to the night
mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The
larger the value, the more sensitive the camera.

UM DS-2CEx6H0T-xIT3ZF 042318NA 14
