Configure the cameras
This section describes how to set up the menu settings for the TruVision HD-TVI
cameras.
Video Format
Move the cursor to FORMAT and select the desired video format.
• HD-TVI 720P cameras: 720P@25 fps or 720P@30 fps
• HD-TVI 2MPx cameras: 2MP@25 fps or 2MP@30 fps
• HD-TVI 5MPx cameras: 5MPx@20 fps, 5MPx@12.5fps, 4MPx@25 fps,
4MPx@30 fps, 2MP@25 fps, and 2MPx@30 fps
• HD-TVI 8MPx cameras: 8MPx@12.5 fps, 5MPx@20 fps, 4MPx@25 fps,
4MPx@30 fps, 2MPx@25 fps or 2MPx@30 fps
• HD-TVI Full Time Color cameras: 2MPx@25 fps or 2MPx@30 fps
Note: When switching the video output to 960H, you can set the video format as PAL,
or NTSC.
5MPx and 8MPx cameras
TVR 15HD and TVR 45HD recorders:
TVR 15HD and TVR 45HD cannot support some resolutions and frame rates used
in the 5MPx and 8MPx cameras.
In the OSD setting, there is no live view for the 8MPx camera when the 8MPx and
5MPx at 20 fps formats or the 4MPx format are selected.
In the OSD setting, there is no live view for the 5MPx camera when the frame rate is
set to 20 fps or the 4MPx formats are selected.
Both the TVR 15HD and TVR 45HD support a maximum of 5MPx at 12.5 fps. When
selecting 5MPx at 12.5 fps mode two additional menu options “NTCS/PAL” and
“INDOOR/OUTDOOR” will then appear in the display. These menus are used to
compensate for the strobing effect with certain lighting systems when using
12.5 fps.

Exposure
Move the cursor to EXPOSURE and click Iris+ to enter the submenu.
This defines the brightness-related parameters. Adjust the image brightness using

EXPOSURE MODE
Select GLOBAL, BLC, WDR or HLC from the menu.
GLOBAL: This is the normal exposure mode to use for a wide range of situations to achieve an
optimum image.
BLC (Backlight Compensation): This 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.
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): The WDR helps the camera provide clear images even under
backlight circumstances. When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the
image, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image to provide clear images with
details.
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.
Note: The HLC function is not available in 5MPx and Full Time Color cameras.
AGC
The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) function optimizes the clarity of the image in poor lighting
conditions. The AGC level can be set as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW.
Note: The noise will be amplified when setting the AGC level. The higher the level, the more
obvious the noise.
SLOW SHUTTER
Note: This function is not available in 5MPx and 8MPx cameras.
This function increases the exposure time on a single frame, which makes a camera more
sensitive to the light so it can produce images even in low lux conditions.
You can set the SLOW SHUTTER function as OFF, x2, x4, x6, x8, x10, x12, x14, or x16
according to the different lighting conditions.
Day/Night
Move the cursor to DAY/NIGHT and click Iris+ to enter the submenu.
Note: This menu is not available in Full Time Color cameras.
This menu defines whether the camera is in day or night mode. The day (color) option
could be used, for example, if the camera is located indoors where light levels are
always good.

10 TruVision HD-TVI Cameras Configuration Manual
MODE
You can select one of three options to control Day/Night mode: COLOR, BW (Black White), or
AUTO.
COLOR: The image is colored in day mode all the time.
B & W: The image is black and white all the time. The IR LEDs turn on in poor lighting
conditions.

IR LIGHT
Turn on or off the IR LEDs depending on the lighting conditions. The IR LEDs are on by default.
SMART IR
The Smart IR function is used to avoid over exposure of an image due to IR LED glare. It can be
used in both indoor and outdoor conditions.
For 720P, 2MPx cameras, you can select MODE 1 or MODE 2. MODE 1 reduces over exposure
more than MODE 2. Mode 1 is default mode.
For 5MPx and 8MPx, you can select 1 or 2. Option 1 reduces over exposure more than option 2.
Option 1 is default mode.
LEVEL
Note: This function is not available in 5MPx and 8MPx cameras.
This is the light level for auto D/N mode switch.
The IR cut filter switches between DAY and NIGHT modes when the lighting conditions reach
this user-defined D/N sensitivity level. The LEVEL value can be adjusted between 0 and 3. The
higher the value, the higher the D/N sensitivity level.
DàN Threshold
Day to Night Threshold is used to control the sensitivity of switching from day mode to night
mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The higher the value, the more sensitive the camera is
to color.
This mode is only available when AUTO is selected under the MODE menu.

TruVision HD-TVI Cameras Configuration Manual 11
NàD Threshold
Night to Day Threshold is used to control the sensitivity of switching from night mode to day
mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value, the more sensitive the camera is
to switching from night mode to day mode.
This mode is only available when AUTO is selected under the MODE menu.
Video Settings
Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and click Iris+ to enter the submenu.
This menu defines the camera image using the functions image mode, white balance,

according to the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can select
AUTO or MANUAL.
AUTO: The white balance is adjusted automatically according to the current color temperature of
the lighting conditions.

BRIGHTNESS
You can adjust the brightness value to darken or brighten the image. The higher the value, the
brighter the image. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The higher the value, the brighter the
image. Default is 5.
CONTRAST
Contrast is the degree of difference between the darker and lighter parts of the image. You can
set the value from 1 to 9. The higher the value, the stronger the contrast. Default is 5.

12 TruVision HD-TVI Cameras Configuration Manual
SHARPNESS
This function increases the image gain and sharpens the edges in the image to enhance image
details. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. Default is
5.
SATURATION
Saturation indicates the brightness of the color. The higher the saturation, the brighter the color.
The value ranges from 1 to 9.
3DNR
(Digital Noise Reduction). The 3DNR function can decrease the noise effect, especially when
capturing moving images in poor lighting conditions, which delivers a more accurate and sharp
image. The larger the value, the less noise there will be in low lighting conditions. You can set
the value from 1 to 9. Default is 5.
MIRROR
This function lets you flip the camera image horizontally or vertically. This could be used, for
example, when the camera needs to be installed upside down. This the feature allows you to flip
the image so it looks right side up on the monitor. Select one of the options:
OFF: The mirror function is disabled.
H: The image flips 180° horizontally.
V: The image flips 180° vertically.
HV: The image flips 180° both horizontally and vertically.
Smart Light
The camera has warm white LEDs to improve image quality in low light conditions. The
LEDs are controlled by the Smart Light function, which automatically adjusts both the
exposure time and light sensitivity to avoid over exposure of the image.
Note: This function is only available in Full Time Color cameras.
