3.2 EXPOSURE

Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters, which can be adjusted by EXPOSURE MODE, and AGC.

EXPOSURE MODE You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC, and WDR. GLOBAL GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which performs exposure according to the whole image brightness. BLC (Backlight Compensation) BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates light for the front object to make it clear, but this may cause the overexposure of the background, where the light is strong. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) The WDR helps the camera provide clear images even under backlight circumstances. When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image to provide clear images with details. AGC (Automatic Gain Control) It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The AGC level can be set as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. Note: The noise will be amplified when setting the AGC level. The higher the level is, the more obvious the noise is.

3.3 DAY/NIGHT

COLOR, B & W (Black and White), and AUTO are selectable for DAY/NIGHT switch.
COLOR The image is colored in day mode all the time.
B & W (Black and White) The image is black and white all the time, and the IR LIGHT turns on in the poor light conditions. You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT and set the value of SMART IR in this menu.

IR LIGHT 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 over exposure. The SMART IR value can be adjusted from 0 to 3. The higher the value is, the more obvious effects are.
AUTO Automatically switch Color, or BW (Black and White) according to actual scene brightness. You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT, and set the value of SMART IR in this menu.

IR LIGHT 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 over exposure. The SMART IR value can be adjusted from 0 to 3. The higher the value is, the more obvious effects are.
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.

3.4 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 as STD (Standard), or HIGH-SAT (High Saturation).
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 the mode as 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 from 1 to 255 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 higher the value is, the brighter the image is.
CONTRAST This feature enhances the difference in color and light between parts of an image. You can set the CONTRAST value from 1 to 9.
SHARPNESS Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging system can reproduce. You can set the SHARPNESS value from 1 to 9.
SATURATION Adjust this feature to change the saturation of the color. The value ranges from 1 to 9.
3DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) The 3DNR function can decrease the noise effect and deliver more accurate and sharp image. You can set the 3DNR value from 1 to 9.

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.
