EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC, and
DWDR.
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.
DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)
The DWDR helps the camera provide clear images even
under backlight circumstances. When both very bright
and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image,
DWDR balances the brightness level of the whole image
to provide clear images with details.
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. Select OFF to disable the AGC function.
Note:
The noise will be amplified, when the AGC is ON.
3.4 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.

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
