@ 25 fps, 4 MP @ 30 fps, 2 MP @ 25 fps, or 2 MP @
30 fps.

4.2 LANGUAGE

4.3 EXPOSURE

Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters,
which can be adjusted by EXPOSURE MODE, and AGC.

Figure 24 EXPOSURE

• EXPOSURE MODE

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

˗

GLOBAL



GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode,
which performs exposure according to the
whole image brightness.

UM DS-2CEx6H0T-xxITxF 042618NA 14

˗ BLC (Backlight Compensation)

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

˗ DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)

DWDR helps the camera provide clear images

even under backlight circumstances. 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.

• 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.

4.4 DAY/NIGHT

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

for DAY/NIGHT switch.

• COLOR

The image is colored 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.

Figure 25 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 is, the more obvious effects are.

UM DS-2CEx6H0T-xxITxF 042618NA 15

• 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.

from overexposure. The SMART IR value can be
adjusted from 1 to 3. The higher the value, the
more obvious effects.

˗

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

Day to Night Threshold controls 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.

4.5.1 WHITE BALANCE

White balance, the white rendition function of the
camera, is to adjust the color temperature according
to the environment. It can remove unrealistic color
casts in the image. You can set the mode as AUTO or
MANUAL.

• AUTO

Under AUTO mode, white balance is adjusted
automatically according to the color temperature
of the scene illumination.

• MANUAL

You can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 1 to
255 to adjust the image’s red/blue shades.

Figure 28 MANUAL MODE

4.5.2 BRIGHTNESS

Brightness refers to the brightness of the image.

You can set the brightness value from 1 to 9 to
darken or brighten the image. The higher the value,
the brighter the image.
