1.3.1 White Balance Settings

(13)

To configure white balance settings:

1. Use the on-screen arrow keys to navigate to CAMERA SETTING and click Enter. 2. Select WB SETTING and click Enter.

3. Under WB MODE, click the left / right arrow keys to select one of the following options based on the camera’s environment:

• AUTO: The camera adjusts white balance automatically.

• ATW: The camera adjusts white balance automatically for various color temperatures.

• INDOOR: Recommended for most indoor installations. • OUTDOOR: Recommended for outdoor installations.

• OUTDOOR AUTO: Recommended for outdoor installations — white balance is ad-justed automatically for outdoor lighting conditions.

• NA LAMP: Recommended for environments with natural lighting.

• NA LAMP AUTO: Recommended for environments with natural lighting — white balance is adjusted automatically for natural lighting conditions.

• MANUAL: This mode allows you to configure the R GAIN (red) and B GAIN (blue) values to achieve proper white balance.

1.3.2 Exposure Mode

The exposure mode settings allow you to configure the concentration of light used to pro-duce an image. You can configure a custom exposure or let the camera determine the ex-posure automatically.

(14)

To configure the camera’s exposure mode:

1. Use the on-screen arrow keys to navigate to CAMERA SETTING and click Enter. 2. Select EXPOSURE SETTING and click Enter.

3. Under AE MODE, click the left / right arrow keys to select one of the following exposure modes:

• AUTO: The settings for gain, iris, and shutter are determined automatically by the software.

• IRIS PRIORITY: Configure iris settings only. Gain and shutter settings are deter-mined automatically by the software.

• SHUTTER PRIORITY: Configure shutter settings only. Gain and iris settings are de-termined automatically by the software.

• MANUAL: Advanced users only — this mode requires you to configure the settings for gain, iris, and shutter to achieve proper exposure.

4. Under GAIN SETTING, click the left / right arrow keys to set the gain value (1–16). Set-ting the gain manually allows you to artificially create a brighter (high gain) or darker (low gain) image. The AE MODE must be set to MANUAL to configure the gain value. 5. Under SHUTTER, click the left / right arrow keys to set the shutter speed (1/4 – 1/

30,000). Setting the shutter speed manually determines how long the camera shutter

remains open when capturing an image. It is recommended to keep shutter speed set to 1/60 to ensure smooth video. The AE MODE must be set to MANUAL or SHUTTER

PRIO to configure the shutter speed.

6. Under IRIS, click the left / right arrow keys to adjust the iris (1–18). Setting the iris man-ually determines how much light comes through the lens. The AE MODE must be set to MANUAL or IRIS PRIO to configure the iris setting.

1.3.3 Exposure Compensation

Use exposure compensation to fine-tune the camera’s exposure. You can use exposure compensation with automatic exposure to brighten or darken an image to your preference.

(15)

To set exposure compensation:

3. Under EXPOSURE COMP, click the left / right arrow keys to set the exposure compen-sation value from 1 (darkest) to 15 (brightest).

Note

Exposure compensation does not affect the camera image if AE MODE is set to MANUAL.

1.3.4 Bright Light Compensation (BLC)

Turning on Bright Light Compensation (BLC) tones down highlighted areas of the image to create clearer, more detailed renderings of darker objects in the foreground.

To enable BLC:

(16)

3. Under BLC, click the left / right arrow keys to select ON.

1.3.5 Slow Shutter

Slow shutter is used to allow extra light into the camera thereby providing brighter images in low light conditions.

To enable slow shutter:

3. Select NEXT PAGE and click Enter.

4. Under SLOW SHUTTER, click the left / right arrow keys to turn slow shutter on. 5. Under SLOW SHUTTER LIMIT, click the left / right arrow keys to set the shutter speed

low limit (1/1 – 1/30). It is recommended to keep the slow shutter limit at the default val-ue of 1/30.

1.3.6 AGC Gain Limit

(17)

To configure AGC:

4. Under AGC GAIN LIMIT, click the left / right arrow keys to set the high limit for the cam-era’s automatic gain control (1–3). It is recommended to set the gain limit at 3. Use a lower setting to reduce noise in the camera image.

1.3.7 2D & 3D Digital Noise Reduction

The camera features 2 types of noise reduction: 2D temporal noise reduction (NR in the OSD menu) and 3D spatial noise reduction (CAMERA 3D NR). 2D noise reduction helps to limit the appearance of noise (graininess in the camera image) around stationary ob-jects. 3D noise reduction accomplishes the same process for moving objects as well, pro-viding clearer images in low light conditions. Removing noise from the camera image reduces your recording file size and makes videos clearer and more detailed.

To configure noise reduction:

(18)

4. Under NR, click the left / right arrow keys to set the 2D noise reduction level (1–16). It is recommended to keep the 2D noise reduction at the default level of 8 unless the camera image is noisey in low-light conditions.

5. Under CAMERA 3D NR, click the left / right arrow keys to set the 3D noise reduction level (1–16). It is recommended to keep the 3D noise reduction at the default level of 8 unless the camera image is noisey in low-light conditions.

1.3.8 High Light Reduction (HLR)

Turn High Light Reduction (HLR) on or off. Turning HLR on darkens extremely bright cam-era images to ensure a clear camcam-era image.

To enable HLR:

(19)

4. Under HIGH LIGHT REDUCE, click the left / right arrow keys to select a sensitivity level:

• HIGH: The brightness of highlighted areas is greatly reduced. • LOW: The brightness of highlighted areas is slightly reduced. • OFF: HLR is turned off.

1.3.9 Auto Exposure Recovery

Changing the camera’s iris setting through the DVR menu takes priority over the exposure settings in the OSD menu. Turning on Auto Exposure Recovery (AER) will reset the cam-era’s iris to the setting specified in the OSD menu after a period of time.

To enable AER:

3. Select NEXT PAGE and click Enter. Repeat on the next page to reach the last page of the EXPOSURE SETTING menu.

4. Under AE RECOVERY, click the left / right arrow keys to select a period of time after which the camera’s exposure will reset. Choose a time between 5M and 2H, or select

OFF to turn off auto exposure recovery.

1.3.10 Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

Turn Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) on or off. Turning WDR on fixes harsh contrast between bright and dark sections of the camera image.

(20)

To enable digital WDR:

3. Select NEXT PAGE and click Enter. Repeat on the next page to reach the last page of the EXPOSURE SETTING menu.

4. Select WDR SETTING and click Enter.

(21)

3. Under DAY / NIGHT, click the left / right arrow keys to select one of the following options:

• AUTO: The camera switches between day and night mode automatically with changing light conditions (recommended).

• DAY: The camera remains in full color. This setting is not recommended unless the camera is in an area with constant lighting.

• NIGHT: The camera remains in black & white. This setting is not recommended un-less the camera is in a constantly dark environment.

4. Under TYPE, click the left / right arrow keys to select one of the following options: • ELECTRON: Day / night switch-over is determined by camera software. This is

rec-ommended if the camera switches its viewing mode at around the same time every day (for example, sunset or sunrise in an outdoor location).

• MECHANISM: Day / night switch-over is determined by a light filter. This is recom-mended if the camera is in a location with fluctuating light conditions (for example, indoors with lights turning on and off throughout the day).

5. Under THRESHOLD, click the left / right arrow keys to set the conditions for day / night switch-over. Select a number between 1 (switch-over in brighter conditions) and 8 (switch-over in darker conditions).
