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.
1. 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.

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.

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.
