LENS Leave in MANUAL setting.
EXPOSURE
Multiple setting options to control how the camera reacts to a light source
SHUTTER Set up of the shutter speed to handle different light conditions.
The AUTO setting is recommended for regular light conditions.
AGC (Auto Gain Control) Amplifies the video signal to brighten the picture in low light conditions.
Adjusts from 1 to 15, 1 is the lowest AGC effect, 15 is highest. Note
that the higher the AGC is applied the more noise (interference) that
may be added to the camera image.
D-WDR Enables the camera to provide a balanced image in areas where high
(Digital Wide Dynamic Range) and low light levels exist simultaneously.
BACKLIGHT Multiple ways to control high levels of back lighting disturbing the
viewing area such as sunlight or external lighting
BLC Makes objects in front of a bright light source, such as strong sunlight,
(Back Light Compensation) brighter while darkening the background in order to make the objects in
front clearer.
HSBLC A clever version of BLC that will automatically blank out areas of very
(High Light Compensation) high light source (such as car headlights or street lamps) within the
viewing area whilst allowing normal images from surrounding areas.
WHITE BALANCE Multiple setting options to control the balance of white light
MANUAL Allows specific control of the way the camera reacts to strong
saturation of blue or red within the viewing area. Useful in areas that are
continually illuminated with single colour light sources such as
nightclubs or retail displays.
ATW & AWB Both options give automatic tracking and adjustment of the best white
balance setting based on the light conditions. Flourescent light, sunlight
and incandescent light all have different colour temperatures. ATW &
AWB automatically ensures correct reproduction of white images as
different light sources are used.
DAY & NIGHT Multiple options for control of the DAY and NIGHT image settings
COLOUR
Sets camera to permanent colour image whether in day or night conditions.
B/W Sets camera to permanent black & white image whether in day or night
conditions.
AUTO Allows the setting of the light levels required to move from day mode to
night mode and night mode to day mode. Also allows setting of the time
delay to move from day mode to night mode and night mode to day mode.
NR NOISE REDUCTION) Options to control digital image noise interference)
2DNR Analyses the image pixels to identify digital noise (usually seen in the
dark areas of the image) and corrects them to improve the image quality.
The best option for areas with a lot of movement such as car parks etc.
3DNR The same as 2DNR but additionally analyses the changes in moving from
frame to frame and correcting noise created by that also. The most
effective option to reduce digital noise but can suffer from some
movement blurring in areas with a lot of movement such as car parks etc.
