Description
Medium
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that measures light levels on a
pixel-by-pixel basis so that areas of the image that are too bright are
toned down, and underexposed areas are amplified. This provides
more usable footage in difficult lighting scenarios. Setting the menu
option to "High" indicates the video is being highly processed to evenly
distribute the light levels. A "Low" setting indicates the video is not
altered much from its original state.
Off
Select the BLC Level (off/low/mid/high) then change the size of the
target region. BLC stands for Backlight Compensation. Use this
feature when the image routinely involves a bright background, a
darker foreground, and the area of interest in the foreground (i.e.
entrance to a store). In normal operation, the camera takes an
average light level to determine the overall screen brightness. This
may cause a dark area in the foreground (i.e. a face) to be too dark to
recognize. The user could use BLC to target where the faces generally
appear. The camera will ignore brighter parts of the image and make
sure the target area is bright enough. The background may appear
washed out at times when the target region is relatively dark.
Normal
Select low/normal/high. This feature determines how much the AGC
chip will increase the brightness of incoming light. If the image is too
dark, set the AGC chip increases the signal to provide a brighter image.
A "High" AGC setting means the camera measures the light more often
and adjusts quicker to changing light levels.
DC
This menu item refers to the type of iris used in the camera lens. This
camera uses a Manual Iris lens (i.e. fixed iris).
Off
Certain types of fluorescent lighting can interfere with the camera's
imager and cause distortion. If the camera is flickering or displaying
wavy lines, switch this menu item from Off to CRR.
n/a
This camera can produce a color image during the day and a
black/white image at night to improve low-light sensitivity. The switch
from color to black/white can be done automatically based on the
input light levels(AUTO), it can be switched using an external trigger
(GPIO, n/a for this unit) or it can be set to color mode only (Off)
English
Select the language for the OSD screen. If your camera is stuck in the
wrong language, exit the menu, hold the center button for 2 seconds,
press Up twice, then the left/right buttons will change languages.
