Programming

Once the camera hardware has been installed, the camera can be configured using the built-in OSD button (if supported) and the TVI DVR menu. The TVS-

C200 controller (Service Tool) does not support the 3MPX cameras.

You can also configure the camera settings via a TVI DVR. Select the PTZ protocol

TruVision Coax

and click the menu button to call up the menu.

When using the TVI output, the 3MPX TVI cameras must be used with the higher resolution (3MPX or higher) TVI DVRs. They are not compatible with lower resolution TVI DVRs. Only the 960H/CVBS output is supported by the lower resolution recorders (TVR 12HD/TVR 44HD).

Note: When making adjustments to the motorized lens bullet, it is important to make sure that the access cover for the area that contains the video test cable connector, OSD menu button, and the 960H/TVI selection switch is properly tightened to prevent leakage. The access cover should be rotated until it is tight, up against the camera body.

GLOBAL: This is the normal exposure mode to use for a wide range of situations to achieve an optimum image.

BLC: BLC (Backlight Compensation) improves image quality when the background illumination is high. It prevents the object in the center of the image from appearing too dark. Set the LV value from 1 to 8 to increase the backlight compensation level

LV (level of backlight compensation) is only available when the BLC mode is selected.

WDR: WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) provides clear images when there are both very bright and very dark areas on the image. WDR

MODE1: It is used in a normal situation that is set to default.

MODE2: It is used when the camera is close to a light source.

Note: This function is only available for motorized VF lens cameras

(TVB-2408/4408 and TVT-2402/4402).

WB (White Balance)

White balance (WB) tells the camera what the color white looks like. Based on this information, the camera will then continue to display all colors correctly even when the color temperature of the scene changes such as from daylight to fluorescent lighting, for example.

Set the WB mode to

ATW

or

MWB

.

Preventing IR reflection

For cameras supporting IRs (infrared illuminators), please take the following precautions into consideration when selecting a camera location, in order to prevent IR reflection:

 Make sure that there are no large items that may act as a reflective surface near the camera lens. If the camera lens is pointed at a wall, tree, ground covered with snow or water (keep in mind that scenes change over time), the

IR light from the camera may reflect back into the lens, impacting the image quality.
