In Image Adjustment part, user can drag Brightness slide bar to adjust image
brightness.
Or, enable Camera Mode to make camera transfer to preset value in a defined
period of time.
Slower Shutter Speed
Camera shutter speed means the cycle of the sensor calculating light input
amount. Therefore, the slower the speed is, the brighter the image is.
Note: If the target object is moving fast, this met hod is not ap plicable.
Set Max. Auto Shutter and Min. Auto Shutter in Parameter>Video Parameter>Basic Setting.
Click (Manual) on Page 2 of function buttons to select shutter speed,
measured in second (s).
Increase Gain
Camera gain means the light sensitivity of a sensor. A high gain may reduce
light exposure for low light situation.
Note: However, the higher the gain is, the worse the image will be. User is advised to select Auto, applying
default values, or set Max. Auto Gain (range 6-42 dB) in Parameter>Video Parameter>Basic Setting
Enable
WDR

in pictures taken in specific light source.
On Page 2 of function buttons, select White Balance Mode, Auto, Light or
Manual.
After selecting Manual, enter Red Gain and Blue Gain respectively to adjust
image colors.

according to IR Sensitivity, which can be set on Page 4 of function buttons.
Camera without IR lamp will shift to Day Mode or Night Mode automatically
according to Color to B/W value and B/W to Color value, which can be set on
Page 6 of function buttons.
Also, user can enable Camera Mode to make camera shift to Night Mode
automatically in a defined period of time.
3.1.2.4 Noise Reduction
When there are many noise points caused by environment and camera lens,
Noise Reduction function can be enabled to adjust images.
On Page 6 of function buttons, set Noise Reduction value and click to
save setting.

Key Frame
Interval
Key Frame defines the important frame when change
happens in a video. This frame will be completely
encoded. Key Frame I nterv al defines the maximum frames
during the interval between key frames. If the video
changes
quite frequently, shorter Key Frame Interval will
make video more real, but it will take more bandwidth.
Quantization
Set Min. and Max. Quantization,and image compression
quantization will fluctuate in the range.
During image compression, larger
quantization brings
higher compression ratio and higher distortion ratio. On
the contrary, smaller quantization brings lower
compression ratio and better image recovery
, but
meanwhile takes more bandwidth.
