HIKVISION DS-2CE12KF3T-PIRXO 3K 4K ColorVu Bullet and Turret Camera

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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, cestablishing 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 leading to criminal activities are 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.

You can set the video format to 8MP@12.5fps (16:9 aspect ratio), 8MP@15fps, and 3K@20fps, 2MP@25fps, 2MP@30fps.
You can also select PAL, or NTSC in CVBS mode.

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 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 provide clear images with details.

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.

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.
You can set the SLOW SHUTTER function as OFF, x2, x4, x8, or x16(X16 is not supported under the video format of 3K@20fps) according to the different light conditions.
Note :
Some models support slow shutter.
SLOW SHUTTER is not supported by the cameras with 4K resolution.

ANTI-BANDING

ANTI-BANDING is to prevent the phenomenon of horizontal lines (banding) when photographing images in low frequency light or high brightness environments.

VIDEO SETTINGS

Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and click Iris+ to enter the submenu. IMAGE MODE, WHITE BALANCE, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, SATURATION, and 3DNR 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, OUTDOOR, GLOBAL 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.
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 (Digital Noise Reduction)
The 3DNR function can decrease the noise effect, especially when capturing moving images in poor light conditions and delivering more accurate and sharp image. You can set the 3DNR value from 1 to 9.

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.

• THRESHOLD
  The higher the threshold is, the more sensitive the device is to the dark environments.

• LEVEL
  You can adjust the maximum brightness of the supplement light.

Note:
If the smart light is set to OFF and the camera triggers an alarm, and if the environment is darker than the set minimum illumination threshold, the camera will automatically turn on the white light and set it to
1-level brightness.
