Main Menu

AE (Auto Expos ur e)

AE describes the brightness-related parameters. You can adjust the image
brightness by using BRIGHTNESS, EXPOSURE MODE, and GAIN in different
light conditions.

Select the following options under the AE menu:

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 is, the brighter the image.

EXPOSURE MODE You can set AE mode as GLOBAL, BLC, or WDR.

GLOBAL
GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode that is used to

adjust the situations including unusual lighting distribution,
variations, non-stan dard pr oc ess ing, or other conditions of under
exposure to get an optimum image.

BLC (Backlight Compensation)

BLC compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear.
However, this causes the over-exposure of the background when
light is strong.

When BLC is selected as the exposure mode, the BLC level can
be adjusted from 0 to 8.

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
The WDR function helps the camera provide clear images even

under backlight conditions. WDR balances the brightness level of
the whole image and provides clear images with details.

GAIN It optimizes the clarity of image in poor light scene. The

GAIN level can be set to HIGH, MIDDLE, and LOW. Select OFF
to disable the GAIN function.

Note: Noise will be amplified if the GAIN is on.

WB (White Balance)

WB is the white rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature
according to the environment. It can remove the unrealistic color casts in the
image. You can set the WB mode to ATW or MWB.

Select the followi ng options under the WB menu:

ATW In ATW mode, white balance is being adjusted automatically

according to the color temperature of the s c ene illumination.

MWB You can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 0 to 255 to adjust the

shades of red/blue color of the image.

Day/Night

You can select Color, B/W, and SMART for DAY and NIGHT switches.

Select the following options under the DAY/NIGHT menu:

COLOR The image is always in color in day mode.
B/W The image is alwa ys in black and white. The IR LED turns on in low-

light conditions.

SMART Select OPEN/CLOSE to turn on/off INFRARED and set the value of

SMART IR in this menu.

INFRARED

Select it to turn on/off the IR LED to respond to the requirements of
different lighting conditions.

SMART IR

Use the Smart IR function to adjust the light to the desired intensity
and to prevent the image from over exposing. The SMART IR value
can be adjusted from 0 to 3. The higher the value, the more obvious
effects are. The image is not bright and it is disabl ed when the va lu e
is 0.

Day to Night

Set the sensitivity/threshold of the Day/Night switch. The higher the
value, the higher the lux value required to switch from day to night.

Night to Day

Set the sensitivity/threshold of the Day/Night switch. The higher the
value, the higher lux va lue required to switch from night to day.
