3.2 VIDEO FORMAT
You can set the video format to 2MP@25fps,
2MP@30fps, PAL, or NTSC.
3.3 EXPOSURE
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, HLC,
or DWDR.
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 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.
ANTI-BANDING
ANTI-BANDING is a camera setting that prevents the
appearance of horizontal lines (banding) when
photographing images in low frequency light and high
brightness environments.
3.4 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.
AUTO
Under AUTO mode, white balance is being adjusted
automatically according to the color temperature of the
scene illumination.

You can adjust the R-GAIN and B-GAIN value to correct
colors manually.

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.
3DNR (3D DNR)
3DNR refers to 3D digital noise reduction. Comparing
with the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D
digital noise reduction function processes the noise
between two frames besides processing the noise in
one frame. The noise will be much less and the video
will be clearer.
MIRROR
OFF, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.
OFF: The mirror function is disabled.
H: The image flips 180° horizontally.
V: The image flips 180° vertically.
HV: The image flips 180° both horizontally and
vertically.
Note:
MIRROR is only supported when the video output is
switched to TVI.

SMART LIGHT is used to control the integrated white
light and avoid overexposure when the light is on. You
can set the light as AUTO or OFF.

Under the AUTO mode, the white light turns on

The THRESHOLD is the environmental light level at
which the white light turns on. The greater the value is,
the darker the environment is when the light is
activated.
The value of LEVEL controls the brightness of the white
light. The greater the value is, the brighter the light is.
OFF
The white light is always off except when alarm is set
and triggered.
3.6 FUNCTIONS
Note:
FUNCTIONS are only supported when the video output
is switched to TVI.
ALARM MODE
The camera supports alarm function. You can set the
white light to FLASHING or SOLID under ALARM MODE.

priority over the alarm function. The alarm mode
settings only take effect when the light is off.
