Initiatives on the Use of Video Products

Thank you for choosing Hikvision products.

Technology affects every aspect of our life. As a high-tech company, we are increasingly aware of the role technology plays in improving business efficiency and quality of life, but at the same time, the potential harm of its improper usage. For example, video products are capable of recording real, complete and clear images. This provides a high value in retrospect and preserves real-time facts. However, it may also result in the infringement of a third party’s legitimate rights and interests if improper distribution, use, and/or
processing of video data takes place. With the philosophy of “Technology for the Good”, Hikvision requests that every end-user of video technology and video products shall comply with all the applicable laws and regulations, as well as ethical customs, aiming to jointly create a better community.

Please read the following initiatives carefully:

Everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the installation of video products should not be in conflict with this reasonable expectation. Therefore, a warning notice shall be given in a reasonable and effective manner and clarify the monitoring range, when installing video products in public areas. For non-public areas, a third
party’s rights and interests shall be evaluated when installing video products, including but not limited to, installing video products only after obtaining the consent of the stakeholders, and not installing highly-invisible video products.
The purpose of video products is to record real activities within a specific time and space and under specific conditions. Therefore, every user shall first reasonably define his/her own rights in such specific scope, in order to avoid infringing on a third party’s portraits, privacy or other legitimate rights.
During the use of video products, video image data derived from real scenes will continue to be generated, including a large amount of biological data (such as facial images), and the data could be further applied or reprocessed. Video products themselves could not distinguish good from bad regarding how to use the data based solely on the images captured by the video products. The result of data usage depends on the method and purpose of use of the data controllers. Therefore, data controllers shall not only comply with all the applicable laws and regulations and other normative requirements, but also respect international norms, social morality, good morals, common practices and other non-mandatory requirements, and respect individual privacy, portrait and other rights and interests.
The rights, values and other demands of various stakeholders should always be considered when processing video data that is continuously generated by video products. In this regard, product security and data security are extremely crucial. Therefore, every end user and data controller, shall undertake all reasonable and necessary measures to ensure data security and avoid data leakage, improper disclosure and improper use, including but not limited to, setting up access control, selecting a suitable network environment (the Internet or Intranet) where video products are connected, establishing and constantly optimizing network security.

Video products have made great contributions to the improvement of social security around the world, and we believe that these products will also play an active role in more aspects of social life. Any abuse of video products in violation of human rights or lead to criminal activities is contrary to the original intent of technological innovation and product development.

Therefore, each user shall establish an evaluation and tracking mechanism of their product application to ensure that every product is used in a proper and reasonable manner and with good faith.

3.2 VIDEO FORMAT
You can set the video format to 2MP@25fps, 2MP@30fps, PAL, or NTSC.

3.3 EXPOSURE

EXPOSURE MODE

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

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 overexposure to the background where the light is strong.
HLC (Highlight Compensation) HLC stands for highlight compensation. The camera detects strong spots (over-exposure portion of the 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 backlight 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 the 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.

SLOW SHUTTER
SLOW SHUTTER increases the exposure time on a single frame, which makes a camera more sensitive to the light so it can produce images even in low lux conditions.

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.

3.4 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 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, the 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. Compared 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 mirrors.
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.

3.5 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.

3.6 FUNCTIONS

3.6.1 MOTION DET

MOTION DET refers to motion detection. With the motion detection feature, motion can be detected in any part of a camera’s view. You can configure a full screen or a number of zones in a camera’s view where motion is to be detected.

3.6.2 PRIVACY
This function allows you to block or mask certain areas of a scene to protect personal privacy from being recorded or live viewed. You can turn on/off the PRIVACY to meet your needs.

3.7 FACTORY DEFAULT

Reset all the settings to factory defaults.

3.8 EXIT

Move the cursor to EXIT and click Iris+ to exit the menu.

3.9 SAVE & EXIT

Move the cursor to SAVE & EXIT and click Iris+ to save the settings and exit the menu.
