Select this setting if you want the camera to automatically trace the white
balance without the same range limitations that apply to ATW.
USER 1
Select this mode when the color temperature is around 3200°K (when
surrounded by sodium lights). Press ENTER if you want to access the setting
options. Set the B-Gain and the R-Gain.
USER 2
Select this mode when the color temperature is around 6300°K. Press ENTER
if you want to access the setting options. Set the B-Gain and the R-Gain.
ANTI CR (Color rolling suppression)
Select this mode (ANTI Color Rolling) to suppress color rolling incidents.
MANUAL
This mode enables more precise adjustments. Increase and/or decrease the
level of white balance to suit the light in the surveillance area.
PUSH LOCK
To find this mode’s optimal setting for the surveillance area’s luminance
environment, point the camera towards a sheet of white paper before
entering the PUSH LOCK adjustment sequence. Press the ENTER button
while pointing the camera at the sheet. Ideally, this adjustment sequence
should be repeated whenever the luminance environment changes.
Note: The WHITE BALANCE cannot function effectively under the following
conditions. When the following occurs, please select PUSH LOCK Mode.
1. When the color temperature in the surveillance area is high.
2. When darkness surrounds a surveillance area.
3. When there’s a fluorescent light in the surveillance area or the light
changes all the time.

6.7 BACKLIGHT
To set the BACKLIGHT settings, scroll to the BACKLIGHT line and use your
RIGHT button to scroll to either BLC, HLC, or OFF.
BLC (Back Light Compensation)
Even when there is a bright backlight behind an object, clear images of the
object and its background can still be captured by selecting BLC mode.
HLC (High Light Compensation)
HLC reverses bright spots (such as headlights). This enables the camera to
better display information that would otherwise have been “whited out”,
like a license plate.
6.8 DAY/NIGHT
Use this menu item to select COLOR mode, or B/W mode, AUTO mode, EXT1
mode (default) or EXT2 mode.
•Use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to select the mode. Press ENTER to
access the selected mode’s setting submenu, where applicable.
•COLOR mode is ideal for DAYTIME. In this mode, the camera is forced to
deliver a Color feed during daytime and nighttime. B&W mode is ideal for
NIGHTTIME. In this mode, the camera is forced to deliver a B&W feed
during daytime and nighttime (switch the BURST setting On/Off as
required). AUTO mode switches to a B&W feed in the nighttime and then
switches back to a Color feed in the daytime. EXT1 (External 1) mode
switches to a B&W feed controlled by the Light Sensor. EXT2 (External 2)
mode switches to a Color feed controlled by the Light Sensor.

AUTO
The camera will switch to DAY (Color) mode or NIGHT (B&W) mode
according to the selected values.
•BURST: Turn the BURST function off to reduce the color noise when the
camera switches to B&W mode. If the camera cannot switch back to
COLOR mode from B&W mode, please turn the BURST function on.
Note: The BURST function can also be switched on/off in the B&W
mode’s submenu.
•DELAY CNT: The Delay Count will keep the camera from unnecessarily
switching between Day and Night modes when there is a sudden and
short change in the light levels. The camera will switch from one mode to
the other only if a switch-inducing change in light levels stays the same
for the selected number of seconds. The selectable values are 0 to 255
seconds.
•DAYNIGHT: When the camera detects the current light level is lower
than this value, it’ll switch from DAY mode to NIGHT mode. Selectable
values are 0~255.
•NIGHTDAY: When the camera detects the current light level is higher
than this value, it’ll switch from NIGHT mode to DAY mode. Selectable
values are 0~255.
