■Warning

Our WDR camera is a superb wide dynamic range camera which achieves 120dB
max(102dB typical) of dynamic range of the image by implementing PIXIM's Seawolf
digital imaging system.
With Seawolf digital imaging system,
- Delivers high-resolution, crystal clear images that accurately capture every aspect of
any scene
- Offers the highest resolution of 690TVL(horizontal)
- Ultra-wide dynamic range imaging accurately captures all of the critical details in a
scene including highlights, shadows and everything in between without compromising
image quality or color accuracy.
- Enhanced low-light performance makes Seawolf the natural choices for both indoor
and outdoor cameras for all lighting conditions.
With ICR mechanism,
- Enhances its sensitivity about 10x at night time
- Can accepts the infrared light
Main features are;
• 1/3" CMY Color DPS SENSOR (Pixim Seawolf D8800C series)
• Resolution of 690 Horizontal Lines
• 10x sensitivity enhancement by removing the optical filter
• Switches to B/W and able to accept the infrared spectrum at night mode
• Enhanced sharpness compensation
• Very low noise and superior picture quality
• 0.0008Lux Class sensitivity (0.002Lux@ 2x Sense-up)
• Automatically removable IR Cut Filter
• Automatic White Balance (ATW)
• Built-in 2.8~10mm DC auto iris lens

NORMAL - Produces an image that has average contrast and is suitable
for indoor or low-contrast outdoor scenes.
MEDIUM - Produces an image that has better dynamic range and is
suitable for a lobby or high-contrast outdoor scenes.
HIGH - Produces an image that has best dynamic range but less
contrast and is suitable for high-contrast outdoor scenes.
CUSTOM - Provides more flexible compensation by ZONE, RANGE and
BIAS.
When COLOR ROLLCOMP. is set to MODE-A, WDR CONTROL will be
fixed as LOW.
SENSE-UP
AUTO
If SENSE-UP is set to AUTO, the maximum sense-up rate can be
limited to 2X-30FPS, 4X15FPS, 8X-18FPS, 16X-4FPS, 32X-2FPS or
64X-2FPS in SENSE-UP SETUP.
The integration frames vary automatically within the max. rate according
to the light level when light becomes low and DSS is operating. The
higher sense-up rate, the higher sensitivity but the slower refresh rate.
Some white dots may appear by sense-up due to the image sensor’s
long accumulation by a long shutter period.

5) DAY/NIGHT
To enter EXPOSURE menu, press button at MAIN>DAY/NIGHT>AUTO...
IMPORTANT!!!
DAY->NIGHT and NIGHT->DAY operations must be examined and verified at the final step
of the installation.
Block the lens for a few seconds for NIGHT mode and release and let it return to DAY mode.
If camera stays at NIGHT mode more than 10sec, increase N-->D THRES a little and repeat
the fore-mentioned steps.
If the scene is too dim or lens iris was adjusted too low(near close), it may not return to DAY.
DAY/NIGHT
Default
Descriptions
N-->D
THRES.
3
N-->D THRES is a threshold level to switch from NIGHT to DAY.
Due to the nature of WDR the image level of the scene is controlled down
and camera would not switch to DAY even though the ambient is bright
enough.
Increase the value if it stays in B/W and is required to switch to DAY.
Too high value may make ICR repeating between NIGHT<-->DAY.
In that case, reduce the value a little and try all of the above mentioned.
N<-->D
DELAY
3
N<-->D DELAY is time in second while camera maintains its status before
D<-->N switches.
DELAY can avoid the unwanted/frivolous switching by a short term lights
such like the light from the passing car.
BURST
ON
B/W
OFF
BURST ON B/W determines whether a color burst signal keeps output or
eliminated when camera switches to B/W.
If set to ON, B/W video signal contains color burst signal and is more
compatible with the color equipment but shows the same resolution as color
video.
If set OFF, the color burst signal is removed from B/W video and shows better
resolution.
Rarely the compatibility problem may occur with the color equipment.
IMPORTANT!!!
