5. “Low lux mode” The video quality will be improved when the camera is in low lux
environment.
Video Setting Advanced Mode
1. Exposure setting
Here it provides 3 mode: Auto, BLC and HSBLC. Auto and HSBLC modes are 2
default settings for general purpose and backlight scene, respectively.
“Target Luminance and Offset”
These two slide bar, Target Luminance and Offset represent the expected target value
of the luminance of the weighting result of AE windows in the image and its tolerance as
offset. For example, target luminance is set to 100 and target offset is set to 20 that
means the average luminance of the AE window should be in the range from 80 to 120
(100±(10. When the actual luminance does not meet this range, the AE function will
adjust shutter and gain to meet it as possible. In some extreme cases, it cannot reach
the target because the environment is too
bright or dark. When the environment is not consistent, e.g. with big moving objects, and
the offset is too narrow, the AE will act more frequently that will cause the background of
view inconsistent. The offset value is recommended to set 15~25% of target luminance.
“Shutter Speed”
There are 2 fields, minimal and maximal time, for the range of Shutter Speed. The
precision of the parameter is 1/50000 sec., but it is NOT actual precision of the shutter
speed of the sensor. The actual precision of the shutter speed depends on each
sensor’s specification. Here it will be rounded to approach sensor’s effective exposure
time. To avoid flickering or banding phenomenon under fluorescent light, the actual
shutter speed will be locked at 1/120, 1/60, 1/30 if Power Line Frequency is 60Hz, or
1/100, 1/50, 1/25 if Power Line Frequency is 50Hz. The setting of Power Line
Frequency is on the sub-tab Video and Audio. The exposure may not be stable if the
maximum value and the minimum one are set to the same value without adjustable
interval. Besides, the frame rate will drop down if the actual shutter speed is too slow to
meet expected frame rate.

The saturation can change white content in the image. The neutral value is 128.
Contrast
The contrast can adjust difference between dark and light. The neutral value is 0.
4. Noise Reduction
Check the box Enable to enable 3D de-noise. There are 5 modes: 2D, 2D 1-ref , 2D
2-ref , 3D, and Blend. The modes 2D, 2D 1-ref , 2D 2-ref have a Normal Strength slide
bar for adjustment. The mode 3D has a Motion Adaptive option, Current Weight and
Reference Strength slide bars. The mode Blend has all adjustable parameters. The
difference etween the modes 2D 1-ref and 2D 2-ref is one or two frames as temporal
reference frames. When the scene with motion objects, the mode 3D and Blend may
perform better without blur or ghost. When the Current Weight is higher and the
Network Camera User’s Manual
36/63
Reference Strength is lower, the motion blur of image is alleviated.
5. Edge Enhancement
Check the box Enable to enable this function. There are 4 slide bars for adjustment. The
Edge Sensitivity represents how textures are detected as edges. The higher Noise
Sensitivity value makes noises to be filtered out, and avoid to amplify noises. The Edge
Strength is a capability to enhance edges with a limitation by Edge Strength Clip to
avoid over artificial edges.
6. Lens Correction
Geometric and Photometric lens corrections are supported.
Geometric lens correction is used to correct lens distortion. The lens distortion includes
barrel distortion and pincushion distortion if a lens is wide angle view or telescope,
respectively.
There are 2 barrel and 2 pincushion options can be used for either wide angle view lens
or telescope lens. Choose one of them and a reference image displayed below, then
save it and apply.
Photometric lens correction can improve dark corners caused by lens, even sensor
limitation.
Options Photometric 1 and Photometric 2 in pull-down menu are predefined, which can
be applied directly. User Defined 1 and User Defined 2, which can be re-defined by user,
are for specific cases according to lenses. When User Defined 1 or User Defined 2 are
selected, an LSCRatio can be set. The value of LSC-ratio is between 0 and 100 (%). 0
