parts of the scene may under-expose.
SHADOWS - Provides the best detail in the darker areas. It will reduce
the dynamic range and the brighter parts may overexpose.
WDR
CONTROL MEDIUM
LOW - Produces an image that has better contrast but less dynamic
range and is suitable for indoor or low-contrast outdoor scenes.
NORMAL - Produces an image that has average contrast and is suitable
for indoor or low-contrast outdoor scenes.
MEDIUM - Produces an image that has better dynamic range and is
suitable for a lobby or high-contrast outdoor scenes.
HIGH - Produces an image that has best dynamic range but less
contrast and is suitable for high-contrast outdoor scenes.
CUSTOM - Provides more flexible compensation by ZONE, RANGE and
BIAS.
**When COLOR ROLLCOMP. is set to MODE-A, WDR CONTROL will

SENSE-UP AUTO
If SENSE-UP is set to AUTO, the maximum sense-up rate can be
limited to 2X-30FPS, 4X15FPS, 8X-18FPS, 16X-4FPS, 32X-2FPS or
64X-2FPS in SENSE-UP SETUP.
The integration frames vary automatically within the max. rate according
to the light level when light becomes low and DSS is operating. The
higher sense-up rate, the higher sensitivity but the slower refresh rate.
Some white dots may appear by sense-up due to the image sensor’s
long accumulation by a long shutter period.

OSD Menu Features/Setup
5 DAY/NIGHT
To enter EXPOSURE menu, press button at MAIN>DAY/NIGHT>AUTO
IMPORTANT!!!
DAY->NIGHT and NIGHT->DAY operations must be examined and verified at the final step
of the installation.
Block the lens for a few seconds for NIGHT mode and release and let it return to DAY mode.
If camera stays at NIGHT mode more than 10 seconds, increase N-->D THRES a little and repeat
the fore-mentioned steps.
If the scene is too dim or lens iris was adjusted too low (near close), it may not return to DAY.
DAY/NIGHT Default Descriptions
N-->D
THRES. 3
N-->D THRES is a threshold level to switch from NIGHT to DAY.
Due to the nature of WDR the image level of the scene is controlled down
and the camera will not switch to DAY despite bright ambience.
Increase the value if it stays in B/W and is required to switch to DAY.
Too high of a value may make ICR repeat between NIGHT<-->DAY.
In that case, slightly reduce the value and try all of the above.
N<-->D
DELAY 3
N<-->D DELAY is time in seconds while the camera maintains its status before
D<-->N switches.
DELAY can avoid the unwanted/frivolous switching by a short term light.
(I.e. the light from the passing car)
BURST
ON
B/W
OFF
BURST ON B/W determines whether a color burst signal keeps output or
eliminated when camera switches to B/W.
If set to ON, B/W video signal contains color burst signal and is more
compatible with the color equipment but shows the same resolution as color
video.
If set to OFF, the color burst signal is removed from B/W video and shows
better resolution.
Rarely, a compatibility problem may occur with the color equipment.

Determines the depth of Three Dimensional Noise Reduction.
High value effectively reduces the noise but a comet effect may occur
for a fast moving object and vice versa.
DC/
MANUAL Default Descriptions
AI LEVEL -24
Lower value opens the lens iris and increases the brightness and vice
versa. Too high of a value reduces the amount of incoming light and may
result in the camera not returning to DAY from NIGHT.
FOCUS
ADJ... -
FOCUS ADJUST helps accurately adjust the focus regardless of DAY
or NIGHT. Sometimes the focus looks fine tuned at day time but out of
focus at night time. This function can eliminate the wrong adjustment of
focus.

GAMMA 45
Lower value improves the gain of the dark area but the image has less
contrast.
Higher value reduces the gain of the dark area and makes the image more
