in this menu will not be adjustable.
If Iris is set to AUTO in the lens menu, the camera’s shutter
speed will be deactivated.
AGC AUTO GAIN CONTROL
0~15 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 Automatically activates slow shutter function when the image is too dark.
OFF / AUTO / High values are not recommended as they may causes the image to lag.
x2 ~ x30 To adjust the STAR-LIGHT values, select AUTO and enter the sub-menu.

bright areas to create one perfect image. Select from: OFF / ON / AUTO. If ON is
selected, adjust the DRC value from 0 ~ 8.
NOTE: If DEFOG is enabled, DRC settings are set automatically and will
not be available for adjustment.
DEFOG Allows the camera to process a scene that is obscured by fog or weather conditions and
provides a visibly improved image.
- POS/SIZE: Set the location and size of the defog mask. Use the joystick controller
on the camera’s board to adjust the De-Fog zone’s position. Press the enter key and use
the joystick controller to adjust the zone’s size.
- GRADATION: Sett the DEFOG level from 0 ~ 2. The higher the number, the stronger
the Defog mask will be.
- DEFAULT: Return the Defog settings to their default values.

models).
COLOR / The camera always stays in day/color mode.
B&W/ The camera always stays in night/B&W mode.
EXT The camera’s Day & Night settings are set according to an external IR LED board.
AUTO
For cameras with no IR LED Built-in:
- D -> N Threshold (AGC): Set when the camera switches from day to night mode by the
AGC value. When the camera detects AGC levels beyond the set threshold, it
will switch from color to B/W.
- D -> N Delay (AGC): Set a delay for the camera when switching from day to night mode.
- N -> D Threshold (AGC): Set when the camera switches from night to day mode by the
AGC value. When the camera detects AGC levels beyond the set threshold, it
will switch from B/W to color.
- N -> D Delay (AGC): Set a delay for the camera when switching from night to day mode.
For cameras with IR LED Built-in:
- D -> N Threshold (CDS): Set when the camera switches from day to night mode. The lower
the value, the camera will require less light (more darkness) to switch to Night Mode.
- D -> N Delay (CDS): Set a delay for the camera when switching from day to night mode.
- N -> D Threshold (CDS): Set when the camera switches from night to day mode. The lower
the value, the camera will require less light (more darkness) to switch to Night Mode.
- N -> D Delay (CDS): Set a delay for the camera when switching from night to day mode.
- EXT LED: AUTO: The LEDs are enabled/ disabled by the CDS Sensor on the LED Board.
OFF: The camera’s LEDs are disabled manually.
