True WDR: Check to enable the Wide Dynamic Range function which can capture details in a
high contrast environment. Use the slide bar to select the strength (from Low to High),
depending on the lighting condition at the installation site. You can select a higher effect
when the contrast is high (between the shaded area and the light behind the objects).

select the strength (from Low to High).
Digital WDR is a software-based technique that enhances the image quality by adjusting the
gamma value to brighten dark areas. True WDR is a sensor-based technology. A True WDR
CCTV can produce images with an extremely wide dynamic range. The WDR image sensor can
capture several images with short and long exposures, then combining them into a single
frame.
Configuring Focus
Focus here refers to the Remote Focus, applicable to the cameras that are equipped with a
stepping motor lens. The automated focus adjustment function eliminates the needs to
physically adjust camera focus. In an outdoor deployment consisting of a large number of
cameras, the auto focus function can be very helpful when these cameras become out of
focus after days or weeks of operation. And that can easily result from the effects of natural
forces, e.g., shrink and expand due to a wide range of operating temperatures and the
vibration caused by wind.
