MAIN MENU
MAIN MENU - AE (AUTO EXPOSURE)
Auto Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters, which can be adjusted by BRIGHTNESS,
EXPOSURE MODE, AGC, and SENSE UP.
BRIGHTNESS
Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from 1 to 10 to darken or
brighten the image. The higher the value, the brighter the image is.

4www.observint.com © 2020 Observint Technologies. All rights reserved.
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC, and WDR.
• GLOBAL: GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which adjusts lighting distribution,
variations, and non-standard processing.
• BLC (Backlight Compensation): BLC compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear. This
may cause over-exposure of the background where the light is strong. When BLC is selected as the
exposure mode, the BLC level can be adjusted from 0 to 8.
• WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): Wide dynamic range provides clearer images when strong backlight
conditions exist. WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provides clearer images
with details.
AGC (Auto Gain Control)
AGC optimizes the clarity of the image in low light conditions. The GAIN level can be set to HIGH, MIDDLE,
or LOW. Select OFF to disable the GAIN function. Noise is amplied when GAIN is increased.
SENSE UP
Sense up increases the exposure on a signal frame, which makes a camera more sensitive to light so it can
produce images even in low lux conditions. You can set the SENS-UP to OFF or AUTO for dierent light
conditions. The SENS-UP function will atomically adjust itself to x2, x4, x6, x8, x10, x12, x14, or x16 in
response to the light condition.
MAIN MENU - WB (White Balance)
White balance, the white rendition function of the camera, adjusts the color temperature to compensage
for the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can set WB mode as ATW, or
MWB.
ATW (Auto Tracking White Balance)
Under ATW mode, white balance is being adjusted automatically according to the color temperature of the
scene illumination.
MWB (Manual White Balance)
You can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 1 to 255 to adjust the shades of red/blue color of the image.
MAIN MENU - DAY NIGHT
Color, BW (Black White), and AUTO are selectable for DAY and NIGHT switches.
COLOR
The image is in color (day mode) all the time.
B/W
The image is black and white all the time, and the IR LED turns on in the low-light conditions.
AUTO
You can turn on/o the INFRARED and set the value of SMART IR in this menu.
• INFRARED: You can turn on/o the IR LED to meet the requirements of dierent circumstances.
• 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 8. The higher
the value the more obvious eects are.
MAIN MENU - VIDEO SETTING
Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTING and click Iris+ to enter the submenu. CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, COLOR
GAIN, 3D DNR, and MIRROR are adjustable.
CONTRAST
This feature enhances the dierence in color and light between parts of the image. You can set the
CONTRAST value from 1 to 10.
SHARPNESS
Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging system can reproduce. You can set the SHARPNESS
value from 1 to 10.
COLOR GAIN
Use this feature to change the color saturation level. The value ranges from 1 to 10.
3D DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
3D DNR can decrease the noise eect, especially when capturing moving images in low light conditions. It
can produce more accurate and sharper images. You can set the DNR value from 1 to 10.
MIRROR
DEFAULT, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.
DEFAULT: 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.
MAIN MENU - FUNCTION
