3.3

EXPOSURE

Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters, which you can set the EXPOSURE MODE as
GLOBAL, BLC, or DWDR.

• GLOBAL
GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which performs exposure according to the

whole image brightness.

QSG ECI-B12Fx 031518NA 8

ECI-B12Fx Network Bullet Camera Quick Start Guide

• BLC (Backlight Compensation)
BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates light for the front object to make it clear, but this

may cause the over-exposure 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.

3.4

DAY/NIGHT

COLOR, BW (Black White), and AUTO are selectable for DAY/NIGHT switch.

• COLOR

The image is in 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

Figure 3-2 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 0 to 3. The higher
the value is, the more obvious effects are.

• 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 3-3 AUTO

• 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 0 to 3. The higher
the value is, the more obvious effects are.

• 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 is, the more sensitive the
camera is.

• N D Threshold (Night to Day Threshold)
Night to Day Threshold is used to control the sensitivity of switching the night mode to the

day mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the more sensitive the
camera is.

VIDEO SETTINGS

Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and click Iris+ to enter the submenu. BRIGHTNESS,
CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, SATURATION, DNR, AGC and MIRROR are adjustable.

Figure 3-4 VIDEO SETTINGS

• 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 is, the brighter the image is.

QSG ECI-B12Fx 031518NA 10

ECI-B12Fx Network Bullet Camera Quick Start Guide

• CONTRAST

This feature enhances the difference in color and light between parts of an image. You can set
the CONTRAST value from 1 to 9.

• SHARPNESS

Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging system can reproduce. You can set the
SHARPNESS value from 1 to 9.

• SATURATION

Adjust this feature to change the saturation of the color. The value ranges from 1 to 9.

• DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)

The DNR function can decrease the noise effect, especially when capturing moving images in
poor light conditions and delivering more accurate and sharp image. You can set the DNR as
HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW.

• AGC

It optimizes the clarity of the image 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.

• MIRROR
OFF, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.
