1/2k s, 1/5k s, 1/10k s, and 1/50k s are selectable.
FLICKER MODE
Set the Flick Mode as ON to prevent the image from
flicker when the video out is not compatible.
AGC
It’s a form of amplification where the camera will
automatically boost the image output signal to optimize
the clarity of image in poor light conditions. You can set
the AGC value from 0 to 15. The AGC is disabled if the
value is set to 0.

BRIGHTNESS
Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You
can set the brightness value from 1 to 10 to darken or
brighten the image. The higher the value is, the brighter
the image is.
D-WDR
The digital wide dynamic range helps the camera
provide clear images even under backlight
circumstances. When there are both very bright and
very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view,
D-WDR balances the brightness level of the whole
image and provide clear images with details.
Set the D-WDR as ON to improve the image quality
under the backlight environment.
Set the D-WDR as OFF to disable the function.
3.4 BACKLIGHT
Backlight is applicable for the backlight or the high
luminance environment. You can set the Backlight to
BLC, and HLC.
BLC
Backlight Compensation: If there’s a strong backlight,
the object in front of the backlight will appear
silhouetted or dark. Based on the back area, BLC
enhances the brightness of the whole image, which
makes it possible to see the area in the strong backlight
clearly, but the backlight area will be over-exposed.
HLC
High Light Compensation: 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.
3.5 WB (White Balance)
White balance is the white rendition function of the
camera to adjust the color temperature according to
the environment. It can remove the unrealistic color
casts in the image.
MANUAL, ATW (Auto-Tracking White Balance),
AWC→SET are selectable.
MANUAL
You can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 0 to 255 to
adjust the shades of red/blue color of the image.
ATW
In ATW mode, white balance is being adjusted
automatically according to the color temperature of the
scene illumination.
AWC→SET
Similar with ATW, the white balance is continuously
being adjusted in real-time according the scene if
AWC→SET is selected, however, if the scene changed,
you have to go to AWC→SET to get another proper
white balance for the new scene.
3.6 DAY & NIGHT
Color, B/W, and Auto are selectable for DAY & NIGHT
switch.

COLOR: the image is colored in day mode all the time.
B/W: the image is black and white all the time, and the
IR LED turns on in the low-light conditions.
AUTO:The image switches from color to B/W or from
B/W to color automatically according to the light
condition. And you can select to turn on or turn off the
IR LED according to different illuminations.
