Programming

Once the camera hardware has been installed, the camera can be configured
using the built-in OSD button (if supported) and the TVI DVR menu. The TVS­C200 controller (Service Tool) does not support the 3MPX cameras.

You can also configure the camera settings via a TVI DVR. Select the PTZ
protocol TruVision Coax and click the menu button to call up the menu.

When using the TVI output, the 3MPX TVI cameras must be used with the higher
resolution (3MPX or higher) TVI DVRs. They are not compatible with lower
resolution TVI DVRs. Only the 960H/CVBS output is supported by the lower
resolution recorders (TVR 12HD/TVR 44HD).

Note: When making adjustments to the motorized lens bullet, it is important to
make sure that the access cover for the area that contains the video test cable
connector, OSD menu butt on, an d the 960H/TVI selection switch is properly
tightened to prevent leakage. The access cover should be rotated until it is tight,
up against the camera body.

Set the format of the camera and confirm.

FOCUS

Move the cursor to FOCUS and press the menu button to enter the submenu.
Move the cursor to FOCUS+, FOCUS-, ZOOM+ and ZOOM- to adjust the

MAIN MENU

AE (Auto Exposure)

AE describes the brightness-related parameters. Modify the image brightnes s
by adjusting the values for BRIGHTNESS, EXPOSURE MODE, and GAIN
depending on the lighting conditions.

BRIGHTNESS Brightness refers to the brightness of the image.

Set the brightness value from 1 to 10 to darken or brighten the image.
The higher the value, the brighter the image.

EXPOSURE MODE Select GLOBAL, BLC or WDR from the menu.

GLOBAL: This is the normal exposure mode to use for a wide range
of situations to achieve an optimum image.

BLC: BLC (Backlight Compensation) improves image quality when
the background illumination is high. It prevents the object in the
center of the image from appearing too dark. Set the LV value from 1
to 8 to increase the backlight compensation level

6 TruVision HD-TVI 3MPX Camera Configuration Manual

LV (level of backlight compensation) is onl y availab le when the BLC
mode is selected.

WDR: WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) provides clear images wh en

balances the brightness level of the whole image.

GAIN This optimizes the clarity of image under poor lighting conditions. Set

the gain as HIGH, MIDDLE, or LOW. The higher the gain value, the
clearer the image. Select OFF to disable the function.

Note: The noise will be amplified if the gain is enabled.

FLICKER MODE This is an anti-flicker function that is used when the camera is close

to a light source.
There are two modes that can be selected: MODE1 and MODE2.

MODE1: It is used in a normal situation that is set to default.
MODE2: It is used when the camera is close to a light source.
Note: This function is only available for motorized VF lens cameras

(TVB-2408/4408 and TVT-2402/4402).

WB (White Balance)

White balance (WB) tells the camera what the color white looks like. Based
on this information, the camera will then continue to display all colors correctly
even when the color temperature of the scene changes such as from daylight
to fluorescent lighting, for example.

Set the WB mode to ATW or MWB.

ATW Use ATW (automatic tracing white balance) to automatically adjust

the WB in real time as the lighting conditions change.

MWB Manually adjust the color temperature to meet your own requirements

by modifying the blue and red gain parameters. Only use this function
when there is steady light.

Set the R GAIN and B GAIN values from 0 to 255 to adjust the
shades of red and blue color of the image.

DAY/NIGHT

This function defines whether the camera is in day or night mode. The day
(color) option should be used, for example, if the camera is located indoors
where light levels are always good.

Set the DAY/NIGHT mode as Color, B/W, or SMART.

COLOR The camera is always in day mode. The image is in color. Use this for

Preventing IR reflection

For cameras supporting IRs (infrared illuminators), please take the following
precautions into consideration when selecting a camera location, in order to
prevent IR reflection:

 Make sure that there are no large items that may act as a reflective surface

near the camera lens. If the camera lens is pointed at a wall, tree, ground
covered with snow or water (keep in mind that scenes change over time), the
IR light from the camera may reflect back into the lens, impacting the image
quality.
