3.1 VIDEO FORMAT
You can set the video format to 8MP@12.5fps, 8MP@15fps, 5MP@20fps, 1080p@25fps, or 1080p@30fps.
3.2 EXPOSURE
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, HLC, WDR, or HLS.

• GLOBAL
  GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode that 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.

• WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
  The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera provide clear images even under back light circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view,  WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provides clear detailed images.

• HLS (Highlight Suppression)
  It is the same visual effect as the solar eclipse. If the brightness of a part in the image exceeds the threshold, this part will become black. Then whole image can be clear.

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.
3.3 VIDEO SETTINGS
Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and click Iris+ to enter the submenu. IMAGE MODE, WHITE BALANCE, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, SATURATION, 3DNR, and MIRROR are adjustable.

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.

• AUTO
  Under AUTO mode, white balance is being adjusted automatically according to the color temperature of the scene illumination.

• 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.
SATURATION
Saturation is the proportion of pure chromatic color in the total color sensation. Adjust this feature to change the saturation of the color.
3DNR (3D DNR)
3DNR refers to 3D digital noise reduction. Comparing with the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D digital noise reduction function processes the noise between two frames besides processing the noise in one frame. The noise will be much less and the video will be clearer.
MIRROR
OFF, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.
OFF: The mirror function is disabled.
H: The image flips 180° horizontally.
V: The image flips 180° vertically.
HV: The image flips 180° both horizontally and vertically.
3.4 SMART LIGHT
Under the SMART LIGHT sub-menu, you can set the mode to OFF or AUTO.

• OFF
  Set it to OFF to give up this function.

• AUTO
  You can set THRESHOLD and LEVEL in this section.

3.5 FUNCTIONS
3.5.1 MOTION DET
MOTION DET refers to motion detection. With motion detection feature, motion can be detected in any part of a camera’s view. You can configure full screen or a number of zones in a camera’s view where motion  is to be detected.
3.5.2 PRIVACY
This function allows you to block or mask certain area of a scene to protect personal privacy from being recorded or live viewed. You can turn on/off the PRIVACY to meet your needs.
3.6 FACTORY DEFAULT
Reset all the settings, except for image mode, to factory defaults.
3.7 EXIT
Move the cursor to EXIT and click Iris+ to exit the menu.
