•Sharpness: Adjust the sharpness level. Adjust the
contours to make the images look sharper. Increasing
the value raises the sharpness level, but using too
high a value can result in unwanted noise.
•Noise Filter: Select the noise lter level. Noise lter
can reduce the noise in images taken under low-
lighting conditions. Increasing the value reduces the
noise, but using too high a value can result in blurry
images.
•B&W Mode: Display the images in greyscale for
greater clarity in low-lighting conditions.

Exposure
Congure Exposure settings.
•AE Target Gain: Specify exposure compensation’s
target gain. Exposure is compensated automatically
based on the specied target gain. Higher the gain,
brighter the images.
•Local Exposure: Activate Local Exposure. Use Local
Exposure on images that appear too dark due to
backlighting conditions and on images containing
over-exposed sections. Dark parking lot entrances
and gas station entrances at night, for example (Local
Exposure compensates for the bright light coming
from incoming vehicle headlights and makes it
possible to see the license plates). Greater the value,
clearer the image.
•Anti-Flicker: If the lights in the area where the
camera is located use alternating current, specify
the frequency of the lights to minimize ickering.
Matching the frequencies can reduce ickering.
