1). Click up/down direction button to select the
item.
2). Click Iris + to confirm the selection.
3). Click left/right direction button to adjust the
value of the selected item.
3.1 VIDEO FORMAT
You can set the video format to 2MP@25fps or
2MP@30fps.
3.2 EXPOSURE
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, HLC,
WDR, or HLS.
GLOBAL
GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which
adjusts lighting distribution, variations, and
non-standard processing.
BLC (Backlight Compensation)
BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates light to the
object in the front to make it clear, but this may cause
the over-exposure of the background where the light is
strong.
HLC (Highlight Compensation)
HLC stands for highlight compensation. The camera
detects the strong spots (the over-exposure portion of
image), then reduce the brightness of the strong spots
to improve the overall images.
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the
camera provide clear images even under back light
circumstances. When there are both very bright and
very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view, WDR
balances the brightness level of the whole image and
provide clear images with details.
HLS (Highlight Suppression)
It is the same visual effect as the solar eclipse. If the
brightness of a part in the image exceeds the threshold,
this part will become black. Then whole image can be
clear.
AGC (Auto Gain Control)
It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light
conditions. The AGC level can be set to HIGH, MEDIUM,
or LOW.
Note:
The noise will be amplified when the AGC is on.
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.
ANTI-BANDING
ANTI-BANDING is a camera setting that prevents the
appearance of horizontal lines (banding) when
photographing images in the low frequency light and
high brightness environments.
3.3 VIDEO SETTINGS

IMAGE MODE
IMAGE MODE is used to adjust the image saturation,
and you can set it to STD (Standard) or HIGH-SAT (High
Saturation).
WHITE BALANCE
White balance, the white rendition function of the
camera, is to adjust the color temperature according to
the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in
the image. You can set WHITE BALANCE mode to AUTO,
or MANUAL.
AUTO
Under AUTO mode, white balance is being adjusted
automatically according to the color temperature of the
scene illumination.
MANUAL
You can set the R-GAIN/B-GAIN value to adjust the
shades of red/blue color of the image.

BRIGHTNESS
Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You
can set the brightness value from 1 to 9 to darken or
brighten the image. The greater the value is, the
brighter the image is.
CONTRAST
This feature enhances the difference in color and light
between parts of an image.
SHARPNESS
Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging
system can reproduce.
SATURATION
Saturation is the proportion of pure chromatic color in
the total color sensation. Adjust this feature to change
the saturation of the color.
3 DNR (3D DNR)
3 DNR refers to 3D digital noise reduction. Comparing
with the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D
digital noise reduction function processes the noise

between two frames besides processing the noise in
one frame. The noise will be much less and the video
will be clearer.
MIRROR
OFF, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.
OFF: The mirror function is disabled.
H: The image flips 180° horizontally.
V: The image flips 180° vertically.
HV: The image flips 180° both horizontally and
vertically.
