Vertical Phase Edge, or line lock, lets you synchronize all analog cameras
connected to the same power line. This prevents the picture on the monitor from
rolling vertically when switching from one camera to another.
Line lock can also help an analog VCR to remain in sync when switching
between properly adjusted, line-locked cameras. Line lock is generally of no
benefit with digital (LCD or flat screen) monitors and DVRs.
Note
You need an AC power supply to use this feature.

This feature is only available with HDXJ and HDXF cameras. It is not available with
HDXA cameras.
Wide dynamic range technology provides clear, balanced images in a variety of
lighting conditions, such as entrances with varying levels of indoor/outdoor
illumination and situations where backlighting makes it difficult to see a
foreground subject clearly. Wide dynamic range improves detail in
underexposed (dark) and overexposed (light) areas but can lead to unnatural
looking video.
