How to select exposure mode
There are several exposure mode options in the camera that adjusts aperture, shutter speed, and gain to improve image quality for
specific surveillance scenes. Go to Settings > Image > Exposure and select between the following exposure modes:
• For most use cases, select Automatic exposure.
• For environments with certain artificial lighting, for example fluorescent lighting, select Flicker-free.
Select the same frequency as the power line frequency.
• For environments with certain artificial light and bright light, for example outdoors with fluorescent lighting at night and
sun during daytime, select Flicker-reduced.
Select the same frequency as the power line frequency.
• To lock the current exposure settings, select Hold current.
How to stabilize a shaky image with Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
EIS can be used in environments where the product is mounted in an exposed location and subject to vibrations, for example, wind
or passing traffic. Turn on EIS to get a smoother and steadier image without blur.
EIS also reduces the file size of the compressed image and lowers the bitrate of the video stream.
Note
When EIS is turned on the image is cropped slightly, lowering the maximum resolution.
1. Go to Settings > Image.
2. Turn on EIS.
How to handle scenes with strong backlight
Use WDR to make both dark and bright areas of the image visible.
1. Go to Settings > Image.
2. Turn on WDR under Wide dynamic range.
Image without WDR.
