EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC,
WDR, and HLC.
GLOBAL
GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which
performs exposure according to the whole image
brightness.
BLC (Backlight Compensation)
BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates light for the
front object to make it clear, but this may cause the
over-exposure of the background, where the light is
strong.
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
The WDR helps the camera provide clear images even
under backlight circumstances. When both very bright
and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image,
WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image
to provide clear images with details.
HLC (High Light Compensation)
HLC: Masks strong light sources that usually flare across
a scene. This makes it possible to see the detail of the
image that would normally be hidden.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light
conditions. The AGC level can be set as HIGH, MEDIUM,
or LOW.
Note:
The noise will be amplified when setting the AGC level.
The higher the level is, the more obvious the noise is.
SLOW SHUTTER
SLOW SHUTTER increases the exposure time on a single

frame, which makes a camera more sensitive to the
light so it can produce images even in low lux
conditions.
You can set the SLOW SHUTTER function as OFF, x2, x4,
x6, x8, x10, x12, x14, or x16 according to the different
light conditions.
3.3 DAY/NIGHT
COLOR, BW (Black White), and AUTO are selectable for
DAY/NIGHT switch.
COLOR
The image is colored in day mode all the time.
B & W (Black and White)
The image is black and white all the time, and the IR
LIGHT turns on in the poor light conditions.
You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT and set the value of
SMART IR in this menu.

You can select the mode as MODE 1, or MODE 2.
MODE 1 is the default mode that can be applied to both
indoor conditions, and outdoor conditions. When
selecting the MODE 1, the IR Light has more obvious
effects.

DN Threshold (Day to Night Threshold)
Day to Night Threshold is used to control the sensitivity
of switching the day mode to the night mode. You can
set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the
more sensitive the camera is.
ND Threshold (Night to Day Threshold)
Night to Day Threshold is used to control the sensitivity
of switching the night mode to the day mode. You can
set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the
more sensitive the camera is.
