While the default settings will work in most cases, the conditions at the location of the Camera may require
tweaking to ensure that the image is clear and accurate. Use this menu to adjust the image for daytime, or
nighttime, and adjust the image parameters.

IRIS Level Controls the exposure level of the IRIS (aperture). Negative numbers under expose the
image (less light); while positive numbers will over expose the image (more light). Zero
is neutral, and will not over or under change the basic exposure the image.
BLC Mode Foreground subjects can appear as silhouettes in images that have a bright light source
behind the foreground subject. This is usually case for cameras facing a front door that
is glass. BLC (Back Light Compensation) adjusts the exposure that foreground images
can be distinguishable.
Select Day and Night settings for the camera:
Day & Night
Mode
EXT Light Sensor Mode: Uses camera light sensor to switch between Color (Day) and
B&W (Night) modes. See Night to Day Lux / Day to Night Lux below.
Color Mode (Day): Forces camera to Color (Day) mode only. Useful for scenes that
will be consistently lit and when color video is always preferred.
B&W Mode (Night): Forces camera to B&W (Night) mode only, increasing low-light
performance. Useful for scenes that will consistently be poorly lit.
Time Mode: Forces camera to switch between Color and B&W modes at specific
times. See Time: below.

2-Configure a Privacy Mask
IRIS (aperture) and Shutter are automatically adjusted.
When selected, a drop down list of aperture (AKA F Stop) settings will
appear at the end of the checkboxes. Adjust the aperture to suit the
lighting conditions for the image. Lower numbers open the lens to allow
more light into the image, while higher numbers allow less light into the
image. In IRIS mode, the Camera will automatically adjust shutter speed
and iris/aperture for best exposure, but the selected iris setting is the
lowest setting that the camera will use.
When selected, a drop down list will appear at the end of the checkboxes.
This list sets the shutter time for the image from 1/30 to 1/1000, and
presets Indoor or Outdoor. We recommend that the presets be used
based on the Camera's location to maintain proper performance of this
feature. Lower values will increase the amount of light to the image
sensor but can increase movement blur; higher values decrease the
amount of light to the image sensor but may result in sharper capture of
motion.
In Shutter mode, the Camera will automatically adjust iris and shutter
speed, but the selected shutter speed is the slowest speed the camera
will use.
Displayed only when Day & Night set to Time Mode.
Allows setting specific Day and Night times (HH:MM) that the camera will
switch between Color (Day) and B&W (Night) modes.

Times must be entered in 24-hour format (example: 5:00PM is
entered as "17:00").
