Camera Management: Image - Swann NVR16-7200 User Manual

English
Mode: If you're using only the cameras which came with the
NVR (recommended) or additional Swann cameras of the same
type, then the only option here will be Customize.
Future Swann IP Cameras may support additional image
adjustment modes, and if they do, they will be adjustable here.
Brightness: Changes how light the image appears to be.
However, it can't make the camera see further in the dark, or
increase the clarity of an ill-lit image.
Contrast: Increases the difference between the blackest black
and the whitest white in the image. Useful if sections of the
image "grey out" but setting the contrast too high will degrade
image quality.
Saturation: Alters how much color is displayed in the image. The
higher the saturation, the more bright and vivid colors will appear
to be. Again, setting this too high can degrade image quality.
Hue: Changes the color mix of the image (this can have
very dramatic results). It's somewhat like moving through a
rainbow.

Camera Management: Image

Remember: Your image settings will affect your recordings!
You can use the Image Settings to help fine-tune your Motion
Detection sensitivity. At night, the images that you see from
the camera may seem to flicker slightly, or to have increased
"noise". In video, "noise" is random fluctuations of pixels, a little
like an old television that is not set to a station, often called
"static".
By tweaking the Brightness and the Contrast you can eliminate
much of this video noise, increasing the quality of your images
and the accuracy of the Motion Detection.
