TruVision HD-TVI Series 4 PTZ Dome Camera Configuration Manual 9

ZOOM LIMIT Set the user-defined limitation of the zoom amount. Zoom amount =

Optical zoom× Digital zoo m.
If you set the zoom limit to its minimum value (22), digital zoom is

disabled and optical zoom is at maximum value. If you set a lower
zoom limit, digital zoom is enabled.

ZOOM SPEED Define the speed at which the lens changes from wide to the optical

zoom.

SLOW SHUTTER This extends the exposure time under low light conditions in order to

obtain a clearer image. It can be set from 0 to 5 and the higher the
value is, the longer the exposure time.

DAY/NIGHT Set the value to AUTO, DAY or NIGHT.

AUTO: The PTZ dome automatically switches from Black and White

mode (NIGHT) and Color mode (DAY) depending on the light
conditions. This is default mode.

NIGHT (B/W): Switch the IR cut filter to Black and White mode to

increase the lens sensitivity in low light conditions

DAY (Color): Switch to Day mode in normal light conditions.

Note:

 Set the DAY/NIGHT values in this menu. Call up preset 39 to set

the IR cut filter mode to DAY mode and call up preset 40 to set it
to NIGHT mode.

 The DAY/NIGHT values cannot be configured unless the IR

function is disabled.

D/N LEVEL This is the light level for auto D/N mode switch.

The IR cut filter switches between DAY and NIGHT mode when the
light conditions reach this user-defined D/N sensitivity level.

SHARPNESS

This function increases the image gain and sharpens the edges in the
image to enhance image details.

Set the sharpness level between 0 and 15.
BLC/WDR Set the value as ON or OFF to enable or disable the functions.
EXP MODE AUTO: Auto iris, auto shutter and auto gain. The PTZ dome

automatically adjusts the values depending on the light conditions.

This is default mode.

IRIS: User-defined iris value, auto shutter and auto gain. It is the iris-

priority mode. Define the iris value in the IRIS, SHUTTER and GAIN

menus (see below).

SHUTTER: User-defined shutter speed, auto iris and auto gain. It is

the shutter-priority mode. Define the shutter speed in the IRIS,

SHUTTER and GAIN menus (see below).

MANUAL: User-defined iris, gain and shutter. in the IR I S, SHU TTER

and GAIN menus (see below).
IRIS It measures the amount of light entering to the lens. You can s et the

iris value from 0 to 17 in response to the changing light conditions.

The EXP MODE needs to be changed to MANUAL before controlling

the Iris in the PTZ panel.

Note: Iris is fully closed at 0 and fully open at 17.
SHUTTER The speed of the electronic shutter controls the amount of light

entering to the lens in a unit of time (a second). You can manually

configure the shutter speed for the PTZ dome. You can also enable a

slow shutter function for low light conditions.

The higher you set the SHUTTER value (a faster shutter speed), the

10 TruVision HD-TVI Series 4 PTZ Dome Camera Configuration Manual

lower the amount of light entering per second, and the darker the

image. Set the value to 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 50, 125, 180, 250, 500,
1000, 2000, 4000 or 10000.

Note: The value of X indicates that the shutter speed is 1/X second.

GAIN Gain value: The gain value is the amplification degree of the original

image signal. Set the value between 0 and 15.

Gain limit: The higher gain value set, the more noise will appear in

the image. You can set the maximum gain value between 0 and 15 to
limit the gain range and control the noise in the image.

Note: Change DAY/NIGHT mode to DAY or NIGHT mode, and set
the EXP MODE as MANUAL before adjusting the gain value.

EXPOSURE COMP Adjust this value to increase the brightness of the image.

Set the EXPOSURE COMP value between 0 and 14. Default value is

7.

WB MODE Set the WHITE BALANCE MODE as AUTO, INDOOR, OUTDOOR,

SELFDEF (self-defined), ATW (auto-tracking) or HAUTO (half-auto).

AUTO: The dome automatically retains color balance according to

the current color temperature.

INDOOR, OUTDOOR: These two modes are for indoor use and

outdoor use respectively.

SELFDEF: Adjust the color temperature manually.

Note: In SELFDEF mode, you need to adjust the RED and BLUE

values manually.

ATW: In aut o-tracking mode, white balance is continuously being

adjusted in real-time according to the color temperature of the scene
illumination.

HAUTO: Select this mode so that the viewed image automatically

retains color balance depending on the current color temperature.

RED It is used to adjust the red value when choosing SELFDEF for

WHITE BALANCE and it can be set from 0 to 255.

BLUE It is used to adjust the blue value when choosing SELFDEF for

WHITE BALANCE and it can be set from 0 to 255.

IMAGE FLIP When enabled, the image is flipped diagonally along its central axis

to obtain a mirror reflection of the image.

FOCUS LIMIT Set the minimum focus distance.

Configure the focus limit at a longer distance when the target is far
away to avoid the PTZ dome focusing on objects close to it, or
configure a shorter distance when the target is close to the PTZ
dome so it does not focus on further away objects.

Set FOCUS LIMIT to 1cm, 30cm, 1m, 3m, 5m or AUTO to make sure
that the PTZ dome focuses on the target.

Note: If you test the PTZ indoors the camera may not focus when
zooming at high ratio. Please adjust this parameter to a lower value.

2D DNR ON: The larger the value, the less the noise there will be in low light

conditions.

OFF: Disable the function.

3D DNR ON: The larger the value, the less the noise there will be in low light

conditions.

OFF: Disable the function.

MINI ZOOM LIMIT Set the minimum zoom of the lens.

Note: This function is not supported by all PTZ dome cameras.

CHROMA

SUPPRESS

ON: Suppress color noise to obtain clear and high-quality images in

low light conditions.

OFF: Disable the function.

SATURATION Saturation indicates the brightness of the color. The higher the

saturation, the brighter the color.
CONTRAST Contrast is the degree of difference between the darker and lighter

parts of the image.
SCENE MODE Select the scene mode as INDOOR or OUTDOOR. The default

image settings change d ep end ing on the selected scene mode.
HLC Use this highlight compensation function to compensate for areas

with strong spots of light in order to produce clearer images.

Set the value to brighten the darker area and weaken the highlight

area of the image. The larger the value selected, the stronger the

effect.
SHARPNESS

COMP

Set the value to automatically adjust the sharpness of the image to

get a clear image. The larger the value selected, the stronger the

effect.
GAIN LIMIT The higher gain value you set, the more noise will appear in the

image. Set the maximum gain value between 0 and 15 to limit the

gain range and control the noise in the image.
DEFOG Enable this function to improve an image’s visibility and clarity in

foggy weather.
INIT LENS Enable this function to automatically initialize the lens to ensure

normal operation.

Motion Parameter

AUTO FLIP In manual tracking mode, the dome automatically rotates 180

degrees horizontally when a target object passes directly under the

PTZ dome for uninterrupted tracking.

Note: AUTO-FLIP is set to ON by default. It is not user-definable.
PROPORTIONAL

PAN

Use this function to change the pan/tilt speed according to the

amount of zoom. When there is a large amount of zoom, the pan/tilt

speed will be slower to prevent the image from moving too quickly in

live view.

Set to ON or OFF to enable/disable the function.

Note: This function is enabled automatically while setting a shadow

tour.

12 TruVision HD-TVI Series 4 PTZ Dome Camera Configuration Manual

PARK TIME This is a period of inactivity after which the PTZ dome automatically

starts a predefined action. Set it between 5 and 720 seconds.

PARK This is a predefined action. It can be set as presets 1-8, shadow tours

1-5, preset tours1-10, pan scan, tilt scan, panoramic scan, day mode,

- When performing external alarm linkage actions.

SCAN SPEED The scan speed defines the scan degree per second of pan scan, tilt

scan, and panoramic scan.
Select a scan speed between 1 and 40. The larger the value, the

faster the scan speed.

IMAGE FREEZE Use this feature to directly switch from live view of the current scene

to another scene that is defined by a preset without showing the
areas between these two scenes. It reduces the bandwidth usage in
a digital network system and also provides privacy protection for the

areas between the two scenes displayed.
DOME SPEED Manually set the dome speed between 1 and 10.
PRESET SPEED Set the speed to call up a preset between1 and 8. The larger the
