Description of the DIP switch settings

White balance (WB)
White balance tells the camera what the color white looks like. Based on this
information, the camera will then display all colors correctly.
There are two methods to determine the WB:
• ATW (auto tracking white balance). The value used depends on the lighting
condition selected. It ensures reliable color reproduction when lighting
conditions change frequently.
• PTL (push-to-lock) white balance. WB is fixed at the moment the DIP switch it
set to ON.
Backlight compensation (BLC)
The backlight compensation function improves image quality when the
background illumination is high. It prevents the object in the center from
appearing too dark.
AI/AE exposure
Use this setting to select the method the camera uses to adjust to different light
levels.
Day/Night
This function controls if the camera switches to day/night mode. The camera
produces high-quality color video during the day or when light levels are high. It
then switches monochrome and removes the infrared filter to improve IR
sensitivity at night or when light levels are low. There is an option to force the
camera to stay in color mode and not go into monochrome mode no matter the
light level.
