DWDR helps the camera provide clear images
even when backlit. When both very bright and
very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image,
DWDR balances the brightness level o the whole
image to provide clear images with details.
4.4 AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
Optimizes image clarity in poor light conditions. The
AGC level can be set as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW.
Select OFF to disable the AGC unction.
