Camera Configuration
5.3.1. DIP switch settings
Switch Function Description
AE OFF enables Auto Iris (AI) mode.
ON enables Auto Exposure (AE)
mode.
Default=OFF.
In AE mode, the camera’s shutter and
AGC control circuits work together
automatically to compensate the light
exposure of the CCD sensor in order to
get a consistent video output level.
When AE is switched on, the Iris is
fixed.
Note: When using an Auto Iris lens,
this switch should be set to OFF so
that Auto Iris can take effect.
AGC OFF disables AGC mode
ON activates AGC mode
Default=OFF.
AGC improves camera sensitivity and
provides clear image in low
illumination conditions.
BLC OFF disables BLC function
ON activates BLC function
Default=ON.
The BLC function solves the problem of
backlight scene by brightening the
foreground object.
FLS OFF disables flickerless mode
ON activates flickerless mode.
Default=OFF.
When the frequencies of the power
supply and the camera are different,
the problem of image flicker may
occur. Activation of the Flickerless
mode can help remove flicker.
MIR OFF disables Mirror function
ON activates Mirror function
Default=OFF.
The Mirror function reverses the image
horizontally.
GAMMA OFF sets Gamma encoding to 0.45.
ON sets Gamma encoding to 1.0.
Default=OFF.
Controls the brightness of the image
based on the expected viewing device.
When the switch is OFF, encoding is
standard NTSC; when ON, no Gamma
correction is applied to the outgoing
image.
INT/EXT INT enables auto IR function
EXT sets IR function to be
controlled by alarm input
Default=INT.
When the switch is set to INT (Internal
Auto), control of IR is determined by
CCD; while the switch is set to EXT,
control of IR is dependent on external
alarm input.
