EXPOSURE
LENS
Manual Manual mode supports the fixed board lens or the
manual iris lens.
DC DC mode supports the auto-iris varifocal lens.
NOTE: Both MANUAL and DC mode have FOCUS TARGET. You
can adjust the focus by finding the highest number on the FOCUS
TARGET. See page 16 for focus information.
ELC Levels and DC Levels are adjustable. The higher the number,
the brighter the image.
E. Shutter sets the shutter speed levels from 1/60 to 1/100000.
*For LENS-MANUAL Mode, the default E.SHUTTER is AUTO.
*For LENS-DC Mode, the default E.SHUTTER is 1/60. Select DC-AUTO for
*oudoor use.
Select 1/100FLC to run camera in flickerless mode.
Note: The STARLIGHT option cannot be controlled if the
E.SHUTTER setting is above 1/60.

EXPOSURE
BACKLIGHT
OFF
BLC BACK LIGHT COMPENSATION
MANUAL User can manually adjust the BLC level in five areas of the scene (TOP, BOTTOM,
CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT). Increase the BLC levels to make the image brighter.
SMART This is recommended. Camera will automatically detect and adjust the BLC zone.
BLC levels to choose from include: LOWEST, LOW, MID, HIGH.
HME HIGHLIGHT MASKING EXPOSURE
HME masks highlights to allow objects to appear clearly on the screen. If ON is
selected, HME levels are adjustable. The lower the number, the darker the masking
areas.
DRC DYNAMIC RANGE COMPRESSOR
With the advanced light compensation technology DRC, dark spots in images particularly
become more visible without overexposing the bright spots to create one perfect image.
The higher the number, the better the performance of DRC.

EXPOSURE
AGC AUTO GAIN CONTROL
OFF / LOW / MID / HIGH / HIGHEST AGC enhances the picture brightness in low light conditions.
A higher level AGC setting makes the images brighter; however,
it could increase the amount of noise.
STARLIGHT
OFF / x2 ~ x1024 Starlight mode automatically activates slow shutter function
when the image is too dark. x4 is the default. We do not
recommend you to increase the setting, for it causes the
image to lag.
Note: Starlight menu cannot be controlled if the E.SHUTTER
setting is above 1/60.
3D DNR 3D DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION
OFF / LOW / MID / HIGH / SMART 3D-DNR reduces the noise on the screen in low light conditions
and allows for clearer images, even at night. The SMART option
will adjust the camera to prevent lagging when there is motion.

temperature changes between 2000K and 18000K.
ATW Auto Tracking White Balance Control mode compensates
for color temperature changes between 2500K and 9500K.
MANUAL Users can control the white balance manually by
changing RED GAIN and BLUE GAIN (see below).
PUSHLOCK Pushlock is to fix the white balance based on the lighting.
RED GAIN
0 ~ 255 Adjusts the amount of red in the image.

DAY & NIGHT
AUTO / In AUTO mode, camera switches between day and night automatically depending on light
COLOR / level. Camera will stay in color mode when there is enough light and will switch to B&W at
B&W night or other low light environments. If COLOR is selected, camera always stays in day/color
mode. If B&W is selected, camera always stays in night/B&W mode.
If AUTO is selected, please define the following settings:
*BURST: If ON is selected, the camera provides a color burst signal in night mode.
*COLOR->B&W: Adjusts the light level at which the camera switches from day (color) to night (B&W) mode. The higher the
*number, the lower the light level.
*B&W->COLOR: Adjusts the light level at which the camera switches from night (B&W) to day (color) mode. This number
*should be lower than the value of COLOR->B&W above.
*READ TIME: 3s~12s. Time interval delay before switching from day mode to night mode.
*EX_IR INT.: AUTO/EXT. If using IR LEDs built into the camera, select AUTO. If using external IR LEDs separately,
*select EXT.
