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

Note:
When switching the video output to TVI/ CVI/ AHD, you can set the video format to 2MP@30fps or 2MP@25fps; when switching the video output to CVBS, you can set the video format to PAL or NTSC.

3.2 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 the over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.

  • HLC (Highlight Compensation)
    HLC stands for highlight compensation. The camera detects the strong spots (the over-exposure portion of image), then reduce the brightness of the 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.

3.3 DAY/NIGHT
COLOR , BW (Black White), and AUTO are selectable for the DAY/NIGHT switch. COLOR
The image is colorful in day mode all the time.
B &W (Black and White)
