The OSD menu settings are described in detail below.
7.1 Lens
The LENS menu is not applicable to this camera. You can leave the
settings as they are (=MANUAL).
7.2 Shutter/AGC
Use this menu option to control how the camera responds to high
and low light settings using auto-gain and shutter settings. You can
choose between automatic or manual control by pressing the right
button of the joystick. Automatic control is usually sufficient for most
environments.
Display: SHUTTER/AGC
AUTO
SETUP
HIGH LUMINANCE: use this to adjust bright images.
MODE = SHUT: the camera adjusts the image by
changing the shutter speed. You can configure high
and low luminance conditions.
BRIGHTNESS: Set the brightness level for high
luminance mode. Default setting is 24.
Note: If you adjust this setting, we recommend that you
do it when there is a lot of light available.
LOW LUMINANCE: use this to adjust dim images using
automatic gain control.
MODE: set to AGC to use automatic gain control. Set
to OFF to switch automatic gain control off.
BRIGHTNESS: Set the brightness level for low
luminance mode.
If you want to adjust this setting, we recommend that
you do it when it is very dark (night).
Note: AGC can introduce more noise in the image.

MANUAL
Use manual mode only in environments with the exact
same amount of light throughout the day. We
recommend using the automatic mode even under such
conditions.
MODE = SHUT + AGC: you can set the shutter speed
and AGC as specified below:
SHUTTER: set the shutter speed between 1/50 and
1/10000. The slower the shutter speed, the brighter
the image. Faster shutter speeds are used if you want
to capture fast moving objects with less motions blur.
AGC: set the AGC between 6 and 44.8 dB.
Note: If the scene becomes brighter or dimmer, the
camera will not adjust and the image may be over- or
underexposed.
7.3 White balance
Use this menu options to define the white balance adjustment.
Display: WHITE BAL
ATW
ATW = auto-tracking white balance. White balance
makes sure that white objects are always reproduced
correctly. The ATW option controls the automatic white
balance adjustments. For most environments, the default
settings are sufficient.
SPEED: controls how fast the camera will adjust the
white balance. At high settings this can result into
colour oscillation.
DELAY CNT: specifies how often the camera checks
for colour changes and applies the ATW settings. The
lower the delay count, the more frequent the checks
and adjustments.
ATW FRAME: sets the frame magnification for the
camera to identify the colour changes (the
recommended setting is 1.0.).
ENVIRONMENT: choose INDOOR for indoor
environments, and OUTDOOR for outdoor
environments.
PUSH
This is a fixed setting for white balance.

CAMCOLD24 - CAMCOLD24W
V. 02 –30/05/2013 8 ©Velleman nv
USER1
This is a primary user-definable setting that lets you
control blue and red gain.
Note: This can be useful in environments that are
saturated with a single colour of light (for example bars
or entertainment venues), or it can help vision-impaired
(colour-blind) users.
USER2
This is a second user-definable setting that lets you
control blue and red gain.
ANTI CR
Anti colour rolling. Some types of lighting can cause
colour bars rolling over the screen. Use this setting to
compensate.
MANUAL
When you switch the camera on, it will acquire a white
balance value from the whitest object in view. The
camera will then reproduce white colour based on this
value, regardless of changes in colour temperature or
other factors.
LEVEL: You can manually adjust the balance between
red and blue levels to improve the image, when the
acquired value gives insufficient colour quality.
PUSH
LOCK
Use this option to adjust white balance based on a white
object that you use as a baseline. Point the camera at
the white object and make sure it fills as much of the
screen as possible. Click the middle button on the
joystick. The camera will now use the colour of that white
object as a baseline.
7.4 Back light
If there is a bright light in the background, for example from a
window, the image around it may be too dim to see clearly. In that
case, use the backlight function to compensate.
Display: BACKLIGHT
OFF
No backlight compensation.
BLC
Back light compensation. The camera automatically
brightens the dim parts of the image.

CAMCOLD24 - CAMCOLD24W
V. 02 –30/05/2013 9 ©Velleman nv
HLC
Highlight compensation. Use this setting to compensate
for extreme differences between dark and light areas. For
example, if someone shines a bright light directly into the
lens, the entire image can become overexposed. With
HLC, the camera masks the bright area so that the area
around the light source is still visible.
7.5 Picture adjustment
These are the common adjustments for video images.
Display: PICT ADJUST
MIRROR
to mirror the image.
BRIGHTNESS
to adjust the brightness of the image.
CONTRAST
to adjust the contrast of the image.
SHARPNESS
to adjust the sharpness of the image.
HUE
to adjust the hue of the image.
GAIN
to adjust the gain of the image.
7.6 ATR
Use the Adaptive Tone Reproduction (ATR) function to improve the
colour tones of subjects in images that contain both bright and dim
areas (for example, a wall with a window).
Note: ATR can introduce noise in night-time images.
Display: ATR
OFF
ATR is switched off.
ON
ATR is active. Use the settings below.
LUMINANCE: to adjust luminance.
CONTRAST: to adjust contrast.
7.7 Motion detection
Use this function to see motion detection during live monitoring. You
can use:
Block display: in a grid of squares, select the areas where you
want to use motion detection. If the camera detects motion in one
of the enabled squares, the image in that square will ‘flash’.
Monitor area selection: you can select up to 4 separate areas for
motion detection. If the camera detects motion, the outer edge of
the area will ‘flash’.
