Use this mode to have the color temperature continuously
monitored and thereby have the white balance set
automatically. The color temperature range for the proper
white balance is approximately 2700 – 9100K.

WB-Manual (White Balance Manual)

Use this mode to have the user manually adjust the white
balance. There are R-Gain and B-Gain settings that can be
adjusted independently.

WB-Push

1. Move the cursor to WB-Push.

2. Hold a white surface in front of the camera to use as a
basis for the white balance tracing.

Rev 1.01 15 900.0355

3. Press SET to start the white balance tracing.

4. When the white balance tracing is completed, release the
SET key and remove the white surface from in front of the
camera.

D/N

This function allows the camera to automatically switch from a
color camera to B/W camera by either auto detecting the
luminance, manual switching, or by the external contact
terminal’s IR Lamp connection on the camera rear panel.

Fuzzy

The camera switches to a B/W camera by auto detecting
luminance.

C/K Auto: removes burst signal when the camera changes to

B/W. OFF: keeps the burst signal when the camera changes to
B/W mode.

D/N Level selects the detection level at either High or Low.

Time sets the time (from 5 to 60 seconds) before the camera

switches to B/W after detecting a low light condition.

AGC Boost ON: switches night mode to AGC Max Gain. OFF:

switches night mode to AGC Day Gain.

IR Pass

The camera switches to B/W immediately upon selecting this
function.

Burst On keeps the Burst signal when the camera switches

to the B/W mode.

Burst Off removes the Burst signal when the camera

switches to the B/W mode.

IR Cut

Disables the Day/Night function and keeps the camera in color
mode only. In this mode the camera will not accept any IR
luminance.

RS485

Before operating this function, make sure the correct RS485
connection is made on the rear panel.

Rev 1.01 16 900.0355

01/06

Provide a 000 ~ 999 ID address and a 3-digit password to
protect the RS485 setting.

Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to RS485 and press

SET to open the RS485 Menu.

Password Setting

Before opening the RS485 menu, the camera system will
request the 3-digit password. Input the correct password,
select OK and press SET to open the RS485 menu.

Note The factory default password is 000. We

recommend changing the password
immediately to prevent tampering.

To change the password:

1. Select Password Setting in the RS485 Menu and press
SET.

2. Select each number in the 3-digit password and press
SET to enter each one.

3. Select OK and press SET to save your password and
return to the previous menu.

Address

Provide a 000 ~ 999 ID address for the device connected to
the RS485 terminal on the rear panel. The wrong ID address
setting for both controlling and receiving will cause the remote
control to cease functioning.

B-Rate

Select a Baud Rate setting. Choose from 4800 or 9600.

Note An incorrect baud rate setting will cause the

remote control to cease functioning.
