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, the
brighter the image is.
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC, and
WDR.
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.
When BLC is selected as the exposure mode, the BLC
level can be adjusted from 0 to 8.
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
The wide dynamic range helps the camera provide clear
images even under backlight circumstances. WDR
balances the brightness level of the whole image and
provides clear images with details.
AGC (Auto Gain Control)
It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light
conditions. The GAIN level can be set as HIGH, MIDDLE,
or LOW. Select OFF to disable the GAIN function.
Note:
The noise will be amplified when the GAIN is on.
SENSE UP
Sense up increases the exposure on a signal frame,
which makes a camera more sensitive to light so it can
produce images even in low lux conditions. You can set
the SENS-UP as OFF or AUTO according to different light
conditions.
The SENS-UP function will atomically adjust itself to x2,
x4, x6, x8, x10, x12, x14, and x16 according to the
different light conditions.
3.4.2 WB (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 WB mode as ATW, or MWB.
ATW (Aoto Tracking White Balance)
Under ATW mode, white balance is being adjusted
automatically according to the color temperature of the
scene illumination.
MWB (Manual White Balance)
You can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 1 to 255 to
adjust the shades of red/blue color of the image.

especially when capturing moving images in low light
conditions and delivering more accurate and sharp
image quality. You can set the DNR value from 1 to 10.
