OSD MENU TREE

This camera supports Up the Coax communications (UTC). This means that all control over the camera’s OSD menu and settings can be done directly from the DVR itself. Please note that the DVR must also support UTC to control and setup the camera remotely.

LENS
Adjust the camera’s lens between DC and manual options. The manual mode supports the fixed board lens or the manual iris lens. When you are done, go to SAVE&END to shave the new settings.

EXPOSURE

• SHUTTER: Set the shutter speed to manual or automatic.
  If the manual is selected, set the shutter speed to one of the options from 1/30~ 1/50000.
  Select FLK if the camera is experiencing some flickering in the image.

• AGC (Auto Gain Control): AGC enhances the picture brightness in low light conditions. A higher level AGC setting makes the images brighter, however, it could increase the amount of noise. Set the
  AGC values from 0 to 15.

• Brightness: Set the brightness level of the camera’s image. The range of brightness values is from 0 to 255.

• D-WDR: Digital wide dynamic range. You can enable or disable it here. WDR can adjust the camera to provide a better image when there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view by lowering the brightness of the bright area and increasing the brightness of the dark area.

• BLC (Backlight Compensation): If BLC is selected, the auto exposure will be set automatically according to the scene so that the object in a dark scene will be seen clearly.

• EXT: Select to Return to the previous menu or SAVE&END to save all changes.

WHITE BALANCE

• The camera’s white balance can be set to AWT or AWC.
• ATW: The camera will constantly adjust the white balance automatically, compensating for temperature changes between 2200~ 10500K.
• AWC-›SET: Fix the white balance values according to the current color temperature settings in the camera’s view. The camera will not monitor the color temperature changes and remain set to the current settings.

DAY &NIGHT

The camera supports multiple setup potions for the camera’s transition between color and B/W modes.

• EXT: If selected, the camera will switch between color and B/W mode based on an external illuminator. If selected, enter the sub-menu to adjust the delay time for the cameras switching between B/W and color modes.
• AUTO: If selected, the camera will switch between color and B/W when the lighting in the camera’s view changes beyond a specific level.
• COLOR: If selected, the camera will remain in color mode regardless of external illumination or lighting levels in the camera’s view.
• B/W: If selected, the camera will remain in B/W mode regardless of external illumination or lighting levels in the camera’s view. When selected, IR Smart function can be enabled to get a clearer image in B/W.

ADJUST

• NR (Noise Reduction): You can adjust the camera’s digital noise reduction settings to 2DNR and 3DNR. Digital noise reduction helps decrease digital noise in low lightning and make the image more thorough. Increasing the value of the digital noise reduction will make improve the digital noise reduction effect but it may also reduce the image resolution.
• Sharpness: Set the image’s sharpness. The higher the value, the sharper the image will appear, but it may also increase digital noise in the image.
• Color Gain: Set the level of color gain (including blue gain and red gain).
• LSC: Lens Shading Correction. Please enable or disable it as needed.
• Mirror: Mirror, V-Flip, Rotate and OFF are optional.
• DPC: Defect Pixel Correction. Enable live DPC or white DPC as needed.
