Contrast: Set the color difference between the brightest and darkest parts.
Hue: Set the total color degree of the image.
Saturation: Set the degree of color purity. The purer the color, the brighter the image is.
WDR: WDR can adjust the camera to provide a better image when there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in
the field of the view by lowering the brightness of the bright area and increasing the brightness of the dark area.
Recording will be stopped for a few seconds while the mode is changing from non-WDR to WDR mode.
Sharpness: Set the resolution level of the image plane and the sharpness level of the image edge.
Noise Reduction: Decrease the noise and make the image more thorough. Increasing the value will make the noise reduction effect
better but it will reduce the image resolution.

11
Defog: Activating this function and setting an appropriate value as needed in foggy, dusty, smoggy, or rainy environment to get clear
images.
Backlight Compensation (BLC):
Off: disables the backlight compensation function. It is the default mode.
HLC: lowers the brightness of the entire image by suppressing the brightness of the image’s bright area and reducing the size of
the halo area.
BLC: If enabled, the auto exposure will activate according to the scene so that the object of the image in the darkest area will be
seen clearly.
Antiflicker:
Off: disables the anti-flicker function. This is used mostly in outdoor installations.
50Hz: reduces flicker in 50Hz lighting conditions.
60Hz: reduces flicker in 60Hz lighting conditions.
White Balance: Adjust the color temperature according to the environment automatically.
Day/Night Mode: Choose “Auto”, “Day”, “Night” or “Timing”.
Smart IR: Choose “ON” or “OFF”. This function can effectively avoid image overexposure so as to make the image more realistic. The
higher the level is, the more overexposure compensation will be given.
Exposure Mode: Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. If manual is chosen, the digital shutter speed can be adjusted.
Gain Limit: The higher the value is, the brighter the image is.
Frequency: 50Hz and 60Hz can be optional.
Infra-red Mode: Choose “Auto”, “ON” or “OFF”.
Image Mirror: Turn the current video image horizontally.
Image Flip: Turn the current video image vertically.

parameters is set to “Timing”, the image configuration mode will automatically switch between day and night according to the
schedule.
4.2.2 Video / Audio Configuration
Go to ImageVideo / Audio interface as shown below. In this interface, set the resolution, frame rate, bitrate type, video quality
and so on subject to the actual network condition.
Three video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: The size of image.
Frame rate: The higher the frame rate, the video is smoother.
Bitrate type: CBR and VBR are optional. Bitrate is related to image quality. CBR means that no matter how much change is seen in
the video scene, the compression bitrate will be kept constant. VBR means that the compression bitrate will be adjusted according to
scene changes. For example, for scenes that do not have much movement, the bitrate will be kept at a lower value. This can help
optimize the network bandwidth usage.
Bitrate: it can be adjusted when the mode is set to CBR. The higher the bitrate, the better the image quality will be.
Video Quality: It can be adjusted when the mode is set to VBR. The higher the image quality, the more bitrate will be required.
I Frame interval: It determines how many frames are allowed between a “group of pictures”. When a new scene begins in a video,
until that scene ends, the entire group of frames (or pictures) can be considered as a group of pictures. If there is not much
movement in the scene, setting the value higher than the frame rate is fine, potentially resulting in less bandwidth usage. However, if
the value is set too high, and there is a high frequency of movement in the video, there is a risk of frame skipping.
Video Compression: MJPEG, H264 or H265can be optional. If H.265 is chosen, make sure the client system is able to decode H.265.
Compared to H.264, H.265 reduces the transmission bitrate under the same resolution, frame rate and image quality.
Profile: For H.264. Baseline, main and high profiles are selectable.
Send Snapshot: Set the snapshot stream.
Video encode slice split: If this function is enabled, smooth image can be gotten even though using the low-performance PC.
Watermark: When playing back the local recorded video in the search interface, the watermark can be displayed. To enable it, check
the watermark box and enter the watermark text.
Click the “Audio” tab to go to the interface as shown below.

13
Audio Encoding: G711A and G711U are selectable.
Audio Type: LIN or MIC can be optional.
Audio Output: Talkback, warning or auto can be optional. If “Talkback” is selected, the audio output will be used to output sound for
two-way talk. If “Warning” is selected, the audio output will be used to output the pre-defined audio alarm. If “Auto” is selected, the
system will output sound for two-way talk or warning voice as needed. But when it is warning and two-way audio is being enabled
simultaneously, two-way audio will be output first.
Speaker: Talkback, warning or auto can be optional. If “Talkback” is selected, the built-in speaker will be used to output sound for
two-way talk. If “Warning” is selected, the built-in speaker will be used to output the pre-defined audio alarm. If “Auto” is selected,
the system will output sound for two-way talk or warning voice as needed. But when it is warning and two-way audio is being
enabled simultaneously, two-way audio will be output first.
LIN IN/MIC IN Volume: LIN IN Volume can be set here. If MIC is selected, MIC IN volume can be set.
Audio Out Volume: Set the volume of audio out device.
