Video Properties

Here you can adjust the Brightness, Sharpness and Saturation on your IP camera.

White Balance

This controls the white balance of IP camera; available selection: Auto (default), Sunny, Cloudy, Fluorescent
Lamp, and Incandescent Lamp.

Backlight Compensation

This lets you turn on and off backlight compensation and select the strength of the backlight compensation
, which when enabled can make the subject appear clearer in the image when the backlight is too bright or
the subject is too dark. (Default: Disabled)

Flickerless

Here controls the flickerless mode: 60 (default) or 50 Hz.

Exposure Control

This allows you to control the exposure time of the camera. Exposure control is disabled when auto iris
mode is enabled (in the case of NC450). Default: Auto mode. You can manually set the shutter speed within
the range of 1/5s to 1/16000s to suit your lighting conditions. In Auto mode, the gain level is automatically
determined by the camera under normal lighting condition. When [Auto] is selected and low environment
lighting is detected, the shutter speed and gain level will be set as 1/30s and 7.5 respectively unless you have
enabled the Low Light Behavior option and manually specified exposure and gain setting.

Low Light Behavior

Switching on the Low Light Behavior will produce better and clearer image when the camera detects low
environment lighting. Here the default setting is [Off ], and the shutter speed and gain level will be set as
1/30s and 7.5 by default on condition that low environment lighting is detected. Switching on the low light
behavior allows you to manually set the shutter speed and gain level in the case of low environment lighting.
