VIDEO FORMAT
You can set the video format to 2MP @ 25 fps, or 2MP @ 30 fps.
EXPOSURE
Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters, which can be adjusted by EXPOSURE MODE, and
AGC.
EXPOSURE MODE: You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, or DWDR.
• 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 over-exposure of the background, where the light is strong.
• DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range): The DWDR helps the camera provide clear images even under
backlight circumstances. When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the
image, DWDR balances the brightness level of the whole image to provide clear images with details.

AGC (Automatic Gain Control): AGC optimizes the clarity of the image in low light conditions. The AGC
level can be set as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. Select OFF to disable the AGC function. NOTE: Noise can be
amplied when AGC is ON.
DAY/NIGHT
MODE: You can set the Mode to COLOR, B & W (Black White), and AUTO.
• 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. The IR LIGHT turns on in the low
light conditions.
• AUTO: Automatically switch between COLOR and B & W (black and white) according to the scene
brightness.
IR LIGHT: You can turn on/o the IR LIGHT.
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 1 to 3. The higher the value, the more
obvious eects.
DN Threshold (day to night threshold): Day to Night Threshold is used to control the sensitivity for
switching from day mode to the night mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value, the
more sensitive the camera is.
ND Threshold (night to day threshold): Night to Day Threshold is used to control the sensitivity for
switching from night mode to the day mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value, the
more sensitive the camera is.
VIDEO SETTINGS
Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and click Iris+ to enter the submenu. WHITE BALANCE, BRIGHTNESS,
CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, SATURATION, DNR, and MIRROR are adjustable.
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: In 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 dierence 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: Saturation adjusts the color level. The value ranges from 1 to 9.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction): The DNR function can decrease the noise eect, especially when capturing
moving images in poor light conditions and delivering more accurate and sharp image. You can set the DNR
value from 1 to 9.
MIRROR: OFF, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.
• OFF: The mirror function is disabled.
• H: The image ips 180° horizontally.
• V: The image ips 180° vertically.
• HV: The image ips 180° both horizontally and vertically.
