GLOBAL GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which adjusts lighting distribution, variations, and non-standard processing. BLC (Backlight Compensation) BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this may cause over-exposure of the background where the light is strong. HLC (Highlight Compensation) HLC stands for highlight compensation. The camera detects strong spots (over-exposure portion of image) and reduces the brightness of strong spots to improve the overall images. DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) Digital wide dynamic range gives the camera the ability to view dark areas of the given image as well as extremely lighted portions of the image, or areas of high contrast. AGC (Auto Gain Control) It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The AGC level can be set to HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. Note: The noise will be amplified when setting the AGC level. 4.4 LIGHTING SETTINGS LIGHTING MODE IR and WHITE LIGHT are available. IR IR LIGHT You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT to meet the requirements of different circumstances. SMART IR The Smart IR function is used to adjust the light to its most suitable intensity, and prevent the image from over exposure. D N Threshold (Day to Night Threshold) Day to Night Threshold is used to control the sensitivity of switching the day mode to the night mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the more sensitive the camera is. N D Threshold (Night to Day Threshold) Night to Day Threshold is used to control the sensitivity of switching the night mode to the day mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the more sensitive the camera is. WHITE LIGHT Under the WHITE LIGHT sub-menu, you can set the mode to OFF or AUTO. OFF Set it to OFF to give up this function. AUTO You can set THRESHOLD and LEVEL in this section. THRESHOLD The higher the threshold is, the more sensitive the device is to dark environment. LEVEL You can adjust the maximum brightness of supplement light. 4.5 VIDEO SETTINGS Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and click Iris+ to enter the submenu. IMAGE MODE, WHITE BALANCE, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, SATURATION, and DNR are adjustable. VIDEO SETTINGS IMAGE MODE WHITE BALANCE BRIGHTNESS CONTRAST SHARPNESS SATURATION DNR BACK EXIT SAVE & EXIT STD 5 5 5 5 5 Figure 4-3 VIDEO SETTINGS IMAGE MODE IMAGE MODE is used to adjust the image saturation, and you can set it to STD (Standard), HIGH-SAT (High Saturation), or HIGHLIGHT (better indoor facial details). WHITE BALANCE White balance, the white rendition function of the camera, is to adjust the color temperature according to the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can set WHITE BALANCE mode to AUTO or MANUAL. MANUAL You can set the R-GAIN/B-GAIN value to adjust the shades of red/blue color of the image. WHITE BALANCE MODE R-GAIN B-GAIN BACK EXIT SAVE&EXIT MANUAL 5 5 Figure 4-4 WHITE BALANCE BRIGHTNESS Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from 1 to 9 to darken or brighten the image. The greater the value is, the brighter the image is. CONTRAST This feature enhances the difference in color and light between parts of an image. SHARPNESS Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging system can reproduce. SATURATION Saturation is the proportion of pure chromatic color in the total color sensation. Adjust this feature to change the saturation of the color. DNR DNR refers to digital noise reduction. This function reduces noise in video stream. 4.6 AUDIO SETTINGS Under the AUTO SETTINGS sub-menu, you can set the mode to ON or OFF. Adjust the VOLUME to a higher value to raise the volume. 4.7 FACTORY DEFAULT Reset all the settings except video format to factory defaults. 4.8 EXIT Move the cursor to EXIT and click Iris+ to exit the menu. 4.9 SAVE & EXIT Move the cursor to SAVE & EXIT and click Iris+ to save the settings and exit the menu.
