Adjusting for Room Lighting

Setting Camera Brightness

© Polycom, Inc.
Depending on your system configuration, you can use the backlight control to
adjust the brightness of the video that the camera sends to the V500 system.
Backlight compensation adjusts the camera's iris to take in less light.
Adjusting this setting can be helpful when the room arrangement results in
strong light coming from behind the people in the picture.
To turn backlight compensation on:
1. Select System from the Place a Call screen.
2. Select User Settings from the System screen.
3. Scroll to Backlight Compensation and press
control to enable the option.
4. Press Home to save your change and return to the Place a Call
screen.
Depending on your system configuration, you can set the camera brightness.
Like the backlight compensation setting, this setting adjusts the camera's iris.
If there is a lot of light in the room, set the camera brightness to a low
number so the camera takes in less light. If the room is dark, set the camera
brightness to a high number so the camera takes in more light. The default is
11.
To set the camera brightness:
1. Select System from the Place a Call screen.
2. Select User Settings from the System screen.
3. Scroll to Camera Brightness, press
select the brightness level.
4. Press Home to save your change and return to the Place a Call
screen.
