EXPOSURE EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, HLC, or DWDR.

GLOBAL
GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which adjusts lighting distribution, variations, and non-standard processing.

BLC (Backlight Compensation)
BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this may cause over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.

HLC (Highlight Compensation)
HLC stands for highlight compensation. The camera detects strong spots (over- exposure portion of image) and reduces the brightness of strong spots to improve the overall images.

DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)
Digital wide dynamic range gives the camera the ability to view dark areas of the given image as well as extremely lighted portions of the image, or areas of high contrast.

AGC (Auto Gain Control)
It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The AGC level can be set to HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW.

Note:
The noise will be amplified when setting the AGC level.

ANTI-BANDING
ANTI-BANDING is a camera setting that prevents the appearance of horizontal lines (banding) when photographing images in low-frequency light and high- brightness environments.

LIGHTING SETTINGS

LIGHTING MODE
WHITE LIGHT, IR and SMART are available.

Note:
The alarm function is only supported in SMART mode.

You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT to meet the requirements of different circumstances.

SMART IR
The Smart IR function is used to adjust the light to its most suitable intensity and prevent the image from overexposure.

• D→N Threshold (Day to Night Threshold) Day to Night Threshold is used to control the sensitivity of switching the day mode to the night mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the more sensitive the camera is.
• N→D Threshold (Night to Day Threshold) Night to Day Threshold is used to control the sensitivity of switching the night mode to the day mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the more sensitive the camera is.

VIDEO SETTINGS

IMAGE MODE
IMAGE MODE is used to adjust the image saturation, and you can set it to STD (Standard), HIGH-SAT (High Saturation), or HIGHLIGHT (better indoor facial details).

WHITE BALANCE
White balance, the white rendition function of the camera, is to adjust the color temperature according to the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can set WHITE BALANCE mode to AUTO or MANUAL.

MANUAL
You can set the R-GAIN/B-GAIN value to adjust the shades of red/blue color of the image.

BRIGHTNESS
Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from 1 to 9 to darken or brighten the image. The greater the value is, the brighter the image is.

CONTRAST
This feature enhances the difference in color and light between parts of an image.

SHARPNESS
Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging system can reproduce.
