WPS-565-DOM-A Installation Manual

6.4.2. EXPOSURE Menu

Exposure settings use the sensor in the camera to control how much light is
recorded in each frame of video.
• Access the EXPOSURE sub-menu settings from the main SETUP menu.
6.4.2.1. SHUTTER
Electronic shutter speed controls how much light gets to the camera sensor with
each frame of video.
• Use the default AUTO setting in normal lighting conditions.
• Move the joystick left or right change the setting to any speed between 1/60
and 1/100000 or to FLK mode.
• Use a slower shutter speed for dim environments with fixed lighting conditions.
• Use a faster shutter speed in bright environments with fixed lighting conditions
or when fast-moving objects must be captured.
• Use FLK mode for scenarios where lighting or a television is causing visible flicker
in the scene.
6.4.2.2. AGC (Auto Gain Control)
Auto Gain Control automatically amplifies the video signal during low light
conditions. Use this setting to increase contrast in dimly lit parts of the scene.
• Use the default MEDIUM setting unless the scene is always very dark.
• Move the joystick left or right to turn AGC to LOW or OFF in areas that are
always well-lit.
• Too much amplification (HIGH) will cause distortion in the video feed, but may
be necessary for acheiving contrast in low light.
6.4.2.3. DWDR(Digital Wide Dynamic Range)
DWDR improves contrast between very dark and very bright areas for a more
balanced image. DWDR is OFF by default.
• Move the joystick left or right to turn DWDR ON and access the submenu:
• Adjust the level from 1 to 63 based on the environment.
• The higher the setting, the brighter the scene will appear.
• Too much DWDR in too bright a setting may cause the image to appear
washed out or colors to be somewhat inaccurate.
