measurements, and controls:
- Settings for the optics (zoom, focus, etc.)
- Settings for the sensor (Day/night, light, infra)

In this menu, you can choose the highlighted icon functions. For example: the camera is in night mode, and
(the image on the screen is not colorful) the „Day” mode can be chosen, and its icon is bright. The „Night”
mode cannot be chosen because it is already active.
Note: in the „Night” mode the intensity of the infra units are regulable in 0-1-2-3 levels with the icon below
the „Infra” subtitle.
The Zoom out and Zoom in icons serve for cropping setting of the image.
With the darken and the brighten icons the taken image’s brightness can be set.
The focus setting „Zoom in” and „Zoom out” icons are bright until we reach the extreme value, from that the
focus can be set in reverse direction.
The „Auto focus” value sets the value, which is deemed optional by the equipment.
The optional solution for the focus setting in order to increase the effectiveness of the license plate reading
is the manual setting, which can be displayed by tapping the „Setting” button.
There are two options for the focus fine-tuning:
- Set on the livestream (with „Livestream” icon)
- Set on the event image (with „Trigger sign” icon)
