Settings
4.3.1 Exposure
Exposure describes the brightness-related
parameters, which can be adjusted by Brightness,
Exposure Mode, AGC, and Slow Shutter.
Figure 15 Exposure
UM DS-2CExxU8T-xxxx 042318NA 10
• Brightness
Brightness refers to the brightness of the image.
You can set the brightness value from 1 to 10 to
darken or brighten the image. The higher the
value, the brighter the image.
• Exposure Mode
You can set the Exposure Mode as Global, BLC,
HLC, and WDR.
˗ Global
Refers to the normal exposure mode, which
adjusts lighting distribution, variations, and nonstandard processing.
˗ BLC (Backlight Compensation)
BLC compensates light to the object in the front
to make it clear, but may cause the overexposure of the background where the light is
strong.
˗ HLC (High Light Compensation)
HLC masks strong light sources that usually flare
across a scene. This makes it possible to see
image details that would normally be hidden.
˗ WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
Wide dynamic range helps the camera provide
clear images even under backlit circumstances.
WDR balances the brightness level of the whole
image and provides clear images with details.
When WDR is selected as the exposure mode,
you can set it as low, medium, high or off.
• AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
Optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light
conditions. The AGC level can be set to High,
Medium, or Low. Select Off to disable the AGC
function.
Note:
The noise will be amplified when AGC is on.
• Slow Shutter
Slow Shutter increases the exposure time per
frame, which makes a camera more sensitive to
light. Therefore, it can produce images even under
low lux conditions. You can set the Slow Shutter as
Off, x2, x4 under 8 MP @ 15 fps, or 8 MP @ 12.5
fps mode, and as Off, x2, x4, x6, x8, or x16 under
other modes according to different light
4.3.2 WB (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 WB mode as Auto,
Manual, or Natural.
• Auto
Under Auto mode, white balance is being adjusted
automatically according to the color temperature
of the scene illumination.
UM DS-2CExxU8T-xxxx 042318NA 11
• Manual
Click Iris+ to enter the submenu. Set the R Gain/B
Gain value from 1 to 255 to adjust the shades of
red/blue color of the image.
Figure 16 White Balance
• Natural
Set the white balance to Natural mode when large
parts of the monitoring scene is monochrome.
4.3.3 Day Night
Color, BW (Black White), and AUTO are selectable for
DAY and NIGHT switches.
• Color
The image is color in day mode all the time.
• B/W
The image is black and white all the time, and the
IR light turns on in poor light conditions.
• Auto
The image switches from color to B/W, or from
B/W to color, automatically according to the
lighting conditions.
Click Iris+ to enter the submenu, you can turn
on/off the IR Light and set the value of Smart IR in
this menu.
Figure 17 Day Night
˗ 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
overexposure. You can turn on/off this function.
UM DS-2CExxU8T-xxxx 042318NA 12
˗ 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.
˗ N D Threshold (Night to Day Threshold)
Night to Day Threshold controls the sensitivity
of switching the night mode to the day mode.
You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the
value, the more sensitive the camera.
4.3.4 Video Settings
Move the cursor to Video Settings and click Iris+ to
enter the submenu. Contrast, Sharpness, Saturation,
3D DNR, Mirror, and Defog are adjustable.
Figure 18 Video Settings
• Contrast
This feature enhances the difference in color and
light between parts of an image. You can set the
Contrast value from 1 to 10.
• Sharpness
Determines the amount of detail an imaging
system can reproduce. You can set the Sharpness
value from 1 to 10.
• Saturation
Adjust this feature to change the saturation of the
color. The value ranges from 1 to 10.
• 3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
The 3D DNR function can decrease the noise
effect, especially when capturing moving images in
poor light conditions, and deliver more accurate
and sharper image quality. You can set the 3D DNR
value from 1 to 10.
• Mirror
Off, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.
Off: The mirror function is disabled. H: The image
flips 180° horizontally. V: The image flips 180°
vertically.
HV: The image flips 180° both horizontally and
vertically.
UM DS-2CExxU8T-xxxx 042318NA 13
• Defog
This is used in special environments such as foggy
or rainy weather, or in high illumination
conditions, when the dynamic range is lower than
that in an ordinary environment and the image
appears hazy.
Enabling the defog function can enhance the
subtle details to display clear images.
4.3.5 Factory Default
Click Iris+ to enter the submenu, and click OK to reset
all the settings to the factory default. Click Cancel to
disregard the reset settings.
4.3.6 Save & Exit
