08/27/14 INS-24C1.3XW Rev A
Scroll to choose from the sub menu items listed below.
BRIGHTNESS [0 ~20]: This function is used to adjust the bright-
ness of the camera picture.
SHUTTER [1/30, 1/50, 1/60, 1/120, 1/240, 1/500, 1/1000,
1/2000, 1/4000, 1/8000, 1/16000, 1/30000, 1/60000]: You can
select one of 14 options from 1/25 to 1/60000K for the fixed high
speed electronic shutter, which is mostly used for imaging a fast
moving object.
SENS-UP [OFF, AUTO, x2~x60]: Automatically detects the ambient
level of darkness in a dark or low contrast scene to extend the accu-
mulated time, keeping the image bright and sharp.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) [0-20]: The AGC (Auto Gain Control)
function is used to amplify the video signal when it falls below the
set parameter. As the AGC level increases, the overall screen gets
brighter but the level of noise will also increase at the same time.
4.6 White Balance
This function allows the ability to adjust color temperature.
The camera needs to find a reference color temperature, which is a
way of measuring the color of a light source, for calculating all the
other colors. The unit for measuring this ratio is in degree Kelvin(K).
You can select one of the White Balance Control modes according to
the installation condition.
AUTO: In this mode, white balance works within its color tempera-
ture range. This mode computes the white balance value output
using the color information from the entire screen. It outputs the
proper value using the color temperature radiating from a black
subject.
AUTOext: With the Auto Tracking White Balance function, the white
balance in a scene will be automatically adjusted while temperature
color is changing. The AUTOext Mode is suitable for environments
with a light source having a color temperature in the range roughly
from 1,800 ~ 10,500K (sodium lights to outdoor cloudy environ-
ment).
PRESET: This mode is set to the current white balance condition
and keeps its value. Select this mode and then press the SET key.
If there is a change in location or light source, please repeat this
procedure.
MANUAL: Can be used for fine adjustment. Set the White Balance
by first using AUTO or AUTOext and then change to MANUAL and
press the SET key. Increase or decrease the value of R-Gain (Red)
and B-Gain (Blue) while monitoring the color of the image.
- KELVIN [MIDDLE / HIGH / LOW]:
- R-GAIN : Adjusts the White Balance for the color Red.
- B-GAIN : Adjusts the White Balance for the color Blue.
4.7 Backlight
When there is a strong backlight behind the object, clear images of
the background as well as the object can still be obtained by using
the BACKLIGHT function.
OFF: Not being used.
HLC (High Light Compensation): This function is used to suppress
or mask a strong light source (for example, headlights of cars
during nighttime) so that other subjects can be seen in more detail.
If you select HLC, a submenu appears where you can make finer
adjustments.
- HLC LEVEL: Adjust the brightness level from which on the
light source is to be masked out.
- MODE: All DAY & NIGHT ONLY Selectable.
BLC (Back Light Compensation): This function is used to counter
balance the screen image by increasing the brightness so that a
subject which appears dark due to a strong backlight can be dis-
played in more detail. If you select BLC, a submenu appears where
you can make finer adjustments.
- H-POS / V-POS / H-SIZE / V-SIZE: Define the position
and size of the area of interest by changing the position
& size.
WDR: The WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) function works to correct
excessive light within the frame to produce a usable image. When
the image has simultaneous bright and dark areas, it makes both
areas distinct. If you select WDR, a submenu appears where you
can make finer adjustments.
WEIGHT [MIDDLE, HIGH, LOW]: Select the WDR level of the cam-
era.
Note:
• The WDR function might lead to a reduced framerate and
“ghost” effects in areas with very bright background.
• Please check effect of DWDR in section 4.11 if you need to
further optimize a WDR scene.
4.8 DNR
This function is used to improve the picture quality by filtering the
noise which is generated under low bright light conditions. You can
set different levels here.
- OFF / LOW / MIDDLE / HIGH selectable

08/27/14 INS-24C1.3XW Rev A
4.9 Day & Night
• This function displays images in color or black and white.
• This function is helpful the camera to adapt to low light condi-
tions.
Here you can choose different settings to control the DAY&NIGHT
function.
MODE:
- COLOR: The camera is always in color mode regardless of
the ambient conditions.
- B/W: The camera is always in Black & White mode regard-
less of the ambient conditions.
- EXTERN: Here you can activate the EXTERN function to
activate the external Day & Night connector.
- AUTO: The camera will automatically switch between DAY
and NIGHT mode, according to the lighting condition.
ANTI-SAT. : When there is a strong IR LED light, clear images of
the background as well as the object can still be obtained by using
the ANTI-SAT. function.
EXTERN S/W: It is used when mode is “EXTERN”, LOW / HIGH
selectable.
AGC THRES [0-20]: Execute the Day/Night switch depending on
the AGC level that is used to increase the brightness of the image.
Higher values require a darker image to execute the switch.
AGC MARGIN [0-20]: Define the difference between the Day/
Night & Night/Day switch based on AGC THRES. Higher values will
increase this distance and can help to prevent continuous switching
between Day & Night mode.
DELAY [MIDDLE / HIGH / LOW]: Set the delay time for switching
between COLOR and B/W.
RETURN: Select this to save the DAY & NIGHT menu settings and
return to the MAIN SETUP menu.
4.10 Image
