For UVC-6120-1-P/N
1. With a screwdriver, loosen the ~AC24V/DC12V and GND terminal screws on
the terminal block.
2. Connect a universal 12 VDC/24 VAC power supply to the terminal block.
Note: The terminal block is not polarity sensitive. Either power lead can be
connected to either terminal connector. There is no need for an isolated
ground wire. The two power terminals can accept any polarity and any
combination of power that equals 12 VDC or 24 VDC.
3. Retighten the terminal screws until snug, ensuring that the power leads are
secure.
4. Supply power to the unit by plugging the power supply into a proper source.
Note: The power LED illuminates to show that the camera is receiving power.
If it does not illuminate, check the terminal block connections and the power
source.

from the options shown.
WDR/BLC set Wide dynamic range (WDR) allows you to see details of objects in shadows or
details of objects in bright areas of frames that have high contrast between
light and dark areas such as the headlights of a passing car.
Backlight compensation (BLC) function improves image quality when the
background illumination is high. It prevents the object in the center from
appearing too dark.
Options are:
• Off
• WDR: Set the luminance level ( Low, Middle, High)
• BLC fix: set the BLC level (between 1 to 30) and the BLC window.

WB mode menu
White balance (WB) tells the dome camera what the color white looks like. Based
on this information, the dome 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.
Select the W/B Mode option from the Main menu to enter the WB Mode menu.

locations.
Manual Manually fix the white balance by adjusting the blue and red gain parameters.
Only use this function when there is steady light. Values can be adjusted
between -5 and +5.
UltraView UVC-6120-1 Digital WDR Camera User Manual 11
Menu item Description
Outdoor Select this option to optimize the WB for outdoor sunlit applications. The ATW
compensates for high color temperature such as daylight.
Indoor Select this option to optimize the WB for indoor applications. The ATW
compensates for low color temperature such as incandescent lighting.
Anti CR The anti-color rolling mode function minimizes the color changes over long
periods caused by very small differences between the flicker frequency of non-
inverter fluorescent lights and the drive frequency of the image sensor devices.
Return Press Enter to return to the previous menu.
Exit & Save Exits the menu and returns to live mode. Saves changes made.
D/N mode menu
This camera function controls when the dome camera switches to day or night
mode. The dome camera produces hi g h-quality color video during the day or
when light levels are high. At night or when light levels are low the camera
switches monochrome and removes the infrared filter to improve IR sensitivity.
Select the D/N Mode option from the Main menu to enter the D/N mode menu.
Table 6: D/N mode menu
Menu item Description
Auto When set to Auto Day/Night mode, the camera produces high-quality color
video during the day or when light levels are high. It then switches to
monochrome and removes the infrared filter to improve IR sensitivity at
night or when light levels are low. Set following parameters:
Day→Night: Set the threshold level on how dark it should be before
switching from Day to Night mode. Lower (Higher) value makes the
camera switched from Day to Night at lower (higher) illumination
Night→Day: Set the threshold level on how light it should be before
switching from Night to Day mode.
Delay seconds: This is the time in seconds before Day↔Night switches.
A long delay response would be used, for example, to avoid switching
from Night to Day mode when car headlights pass in front of the camera.
CAUTION: If there is a minimal difference between the Day→Night and
Night→Day values, then camera may switch between Day and Night
mode repeatedly.
Day Manually select Day mode only. The camera can only be in Day mode.
Night Manually select Night mode only. The camera can only be in Night mode.
Ext Externally triggered D/N switch.
Return Press Enter to return to the previous menu.
