CONNECTION
1. DC12V Input Terminal
Connect the power terminal of the camera to a DC 12V regulated power supply.
Note: Please use the correct power adaptor, DC12V (regulated), to operate this unit. The power tolerance of
this unit is DC12V ± 10%. Over maximum DC 12V power input will damage this unit.
2. Video Output Connector (VIDEO OUT)
Connect the camera video output to the video input of a DVR with 75Ωcoaxial cable.
Note: To ensure the camera has sufficient protection against moisture, an extra waterproof measure, such as
by using an insulating tape, must be used to cover the power and video connectors after connection.
IR LED BRIGHTNESS CONTROL (PWM)
This function is used to control the brightness of IR LEDs. The brightness is set to the maximum by default.
Note: This function shows only on our brand’s HD CCTV DVR with specific firmware version. If you
don’t see this option, try upgrading your DVR or check with your installer.
For example, if you feel the image is too bright when the night mode is on, resulting a little bit overexposure,
you can use this function to modify as you wish.

MENU DESCRIPTION
DAY / NIGHT MODE EXT Use the external light sensor we added in the camera to detect the
surrounding light condition and switch to color or B/W mode.
If you’re not satisfying with the mode switch time, you can go to D
TO N / N TO D to manually adjust the sensitivity.
COLOR Always keep the day and night mode to day mode.
B&W Always keep the day and night mode to night mode.
AUTO No function.
D TO N 1 ~ 63 Set the sensitivity for the day & night mode from day to night.
The higher the value, the more sensitivity the mode is switched when
the light condition is changed.
Note: This function is not available when AUTO and COLOR is
selected.
N TO D 1 ~ 63 Set the sensitivity for the day & night mode from night to day.
The higher the value, the more sensitivity the mode is switched when
the light condition is changed.
Note: This function is not available when AUTO and COLOR is selected.
DELAY TIME 1 ~ 60 Set the delay time in second after which the day and night switch is
made.
This is used for the environment where the light condition may
change suddenly and usually last for a short time, for example, the
entrance of a parking lot. It may cause the day & night mode
switching constantly and damage the camera.
With this function, the camera will delay the mode switch at night
since the light change is temporary and unnecessary to pay
attention.
AWB MODE AUTO Automatically adjust the white balance based on the surrounding
environment.
USER
Manually adjust the white balance parameters.
Choose USER, and click (ENTER) to enter the USER MODE to
modify R / G / B gain parameters.
(PUSH) It’s used for the environment surrounded largely by a particular
color, such as blue, causing color confusion. Aim the camera to a
white place, and select (PUSH) to memory this white. Then, aim
the camera to where it’s supposed to face.
HOLD It’s used to force the camera memorizing the current white balance
setting and remain the same even when the environment is
changed.
8000K / 6000K /
4200K / 3200K
Switch to the suitable color temperature based on the current
environment to get the right color.
8000K = Shade; 6000K = Cloud; 4200K = White fluorescent; 3200K
= Halogen light bulb.
R-G GAIN Adjust the red-green value from 1 ~ 255.
B-G GAIN Adjust the blue-green value from 1 ~ 255
MODE ESC Not available for this model.
HOLD Not available for this model.
DC Not available for this model.
BRIGHT 0 ~ 255 Set the level of brightness to adjust the brightness of the image.
The more the value, the brighter the image.

exposed for clearness.
Note: This function is available only in the day mode.
AGC 1 ~ 5 Set the level of Auto Gain Control to detect and enhance the image
signals when the light condition is poor.
The higher the value, the stronger the signals will be enhanced, and
the more noise the image will get.

ALARM Choose the way to show motion detection is triggered: TRACE to
frame the area in red which motion trigger occurs on the screen, or
ICON to simply show a running man icon for motion trigger
occurrences.
HOLD TIME Set how long the alarm lasts in second from 1 to 10.
HLC HLC HLC (high light compensation) is used to suppress strong backlight
for clearer images. A grey mask will be covered on the source of the
