up to 16 characters in length.
Display Camera Name: Leave this enabled if you would like to display

Camera Parameter: This function gives you complete control on every
aspect of the camera’s display capabilities. Click the “Set” button to change.
Anti-flicker: This function is used to reduce flicker caused by fluores-
cent lighting. If the video is flickering or you are mounting the camera outdoors, select the relevant option, otherwise leave it off -
OFF: Anti-flicker is turned off. Outdoor: Select this if the camera will be mounted outdoors. It’s de-
signed to adjust the image for sunlight conditions.
50HZ: The UK and Australia utilise 50Hz for their mains frequency. 60HZ: The USA, Canada and some Latin American countries utilise 60Hz
for their mains frequency.
Exposure Mode: This function determines how light or dark an image
will appear on-screen. If there is very little light, the image will be un­derexposed. If there is too much light, the image will be overexposed -
Auto: The exposure level is handled automatically. Low Noise: This function is used for night video. By increasing the gain
range, you can decrease the video noise to gain a brighter image.
Anti-smearing: This function allows objects to be seen against a very
bright background.
Manual: This function allows you to manually adjust the shutter speed.
Slowing down the shutter speed allows more light into the camera pro­ducing a brighter image. The potential downside is that you get more motion blur.
