image brightness by the SHUTTER, AGC, SENS-UP, BRIGHTNESS, ACCE,
BACKLIGHT, etc. in different light conditions.
UM DS-2CE37U8T-A 042718NA 21
DS-2CE37U8T-A Box Camera User Manual
• Shutter
Shutter denotes the speed of the shutter.
AUTO, 1/30, 1/60, FLK, 1/240, 1/480, 1/1k, 1/2k, 1/5k, 1/10k and 1/50k
are selectable if you select shutter as AUTO or 1/30, the SENS-UP is
adjustable (OFF/AUTO), and the SENS-UP is disabled if any other shutter
speed is selected.
• AGC
A form of amplification where the camera will automatically boost the
image received in much lower light conditions than standard in order to
optimize the clarity of image in poor light scene. You can set the AGC value
from 1 to 15.
Note:
The noise will be amplified if the AGC is on.
• SENS-UP
If you select shutter as AUTO or 1/30, the SENS-UP is adjustable
(OFF/AUTO), and the SENS-UP is disabled if any other shutter speed is
selected.
SENS-UP increases the exposure on a signal frame, which makes a camera
more sensitive to light so it can produce images even in low lux conditions.
You can set the SENS-UP to OFF or AUTO according to different light
conditions.
˗ OFF: SENS-UP function is disabled.
˗ AUTO: The SENS-UP function will atomically adjust itself to x2, x4, x6,
x8, x10, x15, x20, x25, and x30 according to the different light
conditions.
• Brightness
Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the
brightness value from 1 to 100 to darken or brighten the image. The higher
the value is, the brighter the image is.
UM DS-2CE37U8T-A 042718NA 22
DS-2CE37U8T-A Box Camera User Manual
• D-WDR
The digital wide dynamic range (D-WDR) function helps the camera
provide clear images even under back light circumstances. When there are
both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view, DWDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provide clear
images with details.
Set the D-WDR to ON to improve the image quality under the backlight
environment.
Set the D-WDR to OFF to disable the function.
• Defog
DEFOG is used in special environments such as the foggy or rainy weather
or in high illumination where the dynamic range is lower than in an
ordinary environment and the image appears hazy. Enabling the defog
function can enhance subtle details so that the image appears clearer.
Set the defog function to ON to enable the function. Position, size, and
defog gradation are configurable.

recommended that the defog function be set to OFF in normal environments.
4.5 Backlight
Backlight is applicable for backlit or high luminance environment;s you can set
the Backlight to OFF, BLC, WDR, or HSBLC.
• Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If there’s a strong backlight, the object in front of the backlight will appear
silhouetted or dark. BLC is based on the back area to enhance the
brightness of the whole image, which makes it possible to see the area
before the strong backlight clearly, but the backlight area will be
overexposed.

4.6 WDR
The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera provide clear
images even under backlight circumstances. When there are very bright and
very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view, WDR balances the
brightness level of the whole image and provides clear images with details.
You can set the Gain level as low, middle, or high.
You can set the WDR Bright and offset value from 0 to 60.
4.7 White Balance (WB)
White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to adjust the color
temperature according to the environment. It can remove the unrealistic color
casts in the image.
MANUAL, ATW (Auto-tracking White Balance), or AWC→SET are selectable.
• MANUAL
Manual mode allows you to adjust the white balance by customizing the
Blue and Red value, which range from 1 to 100.

ATW mode refers to the white balance is continuously being adjusted in
real-time according to the color temperature of the scene illumination.
• AWC→SET
Similar with ATW, the white balance is continuously being adjusted in realtime according the scene if AWC→SET is selected, however, if the scene
changed, you have to go to AWC→SET to get another proper white
balance for the new scene.
Note:
The white balance is not adjustable if B/W mode is selected.
4.8 Day/Night
Color, B/W, EXT, and AUTO are selectable for DAY/NIGHT switches.

• COLOR
The image is in color in day mode all the time.
• B/W
The image is black and white all the time, and the IR LED turns on in lowlight conditions.
• EXT
The image switches from color to B/W or from B/W to color automatically
according to the light condition.
• AUTO
The image switches from color to B/W or from B/W to color automatically
by comparing the configured threshold value with actual light condition.
˗ Delay: You can set the latency duration before camera implementing
the switch operation after the threshold intensity being reached.
This function can effectively prevent meaningless switches caused by
sudden illumination change and lens blocking.
˗ D->N (AGC): The threshold value is configurable from 0 to 100 for
determining whether to switch the image from color to B/W in current
light condition.
˗ N->D (AGC): The threshold value is configurable from 0 to 100 for

set it ON or OFF by setting the joystick to left/right.
• 3D NR
Compared to traditional general 2D NR technology, 3D NR processes the
noise reduction between two frames instead of in one frame. It can
decrease the noise effect, especially when capturing moving images in low
light conditions and delivering more accurate and sharp image quality.
