1.2 Functions
Motion detect
An alarm can be generated once there is moving object in the surveillance area. You can select
the various sensitivity levels according to your actual requirements.
Privacy mask
Support privacy mask area setup. Privacy masking area is a user-defined, four-sided area that
can not be viewed by you during the surveillance to protect the privacy information (such as the
keyboard zone of the ATM).
Day/night mode switch (Color and black/white switch)
This function allows the camera to display the color video in the day while the black and white
video at the night. It is to enhance camera sensitivity and definition.

4
Auto gain function
To output the standard video signal in the different illumination environments, the amplifier needs
to adjust in a wide range. The system can enhance the camera sensitivity in low illumination and
enhance the video signal output to get the clear and high definition video.
SNR
It is the ratio value between the signal voltage and the noise voltage. The higher the SNR value,
the lower the adverse effect. It is to guarantee the clear video.
OSD
User-friendly on-screen display for you to select the different functions.
INT and LL
There are two synchronization modes: INT/LL. INT is to use the oscillator of the camera to
generate the synchronization signal to complete the scan and synchronization. The LL is to
provide the AC current to the camera to realize the scan and synchronization.
White Balance
The white balance refers to the camera to restore the white object color. It allows the camera to
adjust the color temperature in indoor and outdoor environment, just like our human eyes does.
ICR
The IR cut removal is to filter the IR light in the daytime and then auto switch to the general fitter
at night. This function allows the camera to output the high sensitivity and clear video.
Auto exposure
System can automatically set shutter speed and iris value according to the snapshot video
exposure condition.
Low illumination
The system can output the proper video even in dark environment.

5
BLC
Once there is strong light at the back of the object, the main object video may become dark.
Backlight compensation technology is to automatically compensate the light to get vivid video.
You can refer to the following two figures to see the result of the backlight compensation
technology function.
Before After
WDR
When there is strong light, shadow and backlight all in one surveillance environment, the camera
output video may become white owning to the extra exposure while some sections become black
owning to the insufficient exposure. All of these will adversely affect the video quality. WDR is to
balance the light between these two sections.
You can compare the follow figure with the above figure on the left.
ATR and ATR-EX
ATR (Adaptive Tone-curve Reproduction) function allows the camera to digitally calculate the
video color again and then adjust the brightness to enhance the video quality. This function can
effectively enhance the color and black zone of the video when there is sharp light contrast in the
environments.

6
HLC
HLC (High Light Compensation) function can effectively remove the risk of over exposure and
guarantee the proper monitor video when there are strong lights.
De-noise (Noise reduction)
There may be too much noise when you are monitor in the low illumination environments. You
can digitally calculate to reduce the noise to get the clear video.
Digital image stabilization
When the installation position is of much vibration, you can enable this function to guarantee
clear and stable video.
Digital zoom
This function can allow you to clearly monitor the remote object. The camera can zoom in the
remote object and then output.
