5. Click the direction arrow to control the camera.

(1) Click up/down direction button to select the
item.
(2) Click Iris + to confirm the selection.
(3) Click left/right direction button to adjust the
value of the selected item.
3.1 FORMAT
You can set the video format to 2MP@25fps or
2MP@30fps.
3.2 EXPOSURE
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, HLC,
or WDR.
GLOBAL
GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which
adjusts lighting distribution, variations, and
non-standard processing.
BLC (Backlight Compensation)
BLC (Backlight Compensation) compensates light to the
object in the front to make it clear, but this may cause
the over-exposure of the background where the light is
strong.
HLC (Highlight Compensation)
HLC stands for highlight compensation. The camera
detects the strong spots (the over-exposure portion of
image), then reduce the brightness of the strong spots
to improve the overall images.
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the
camera provide clear images even under back light
circumstances. When there are both very bright and
very dark areas simultaneously in the field of view, WDR
balances the brightness level of the whole image and
provide clear images with details.
AGC (Auto Gain Control)
It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light
conditions. The AGC level can be set to HIGH, MEDIUM
or LOW.
Note:
The noise will be amplified when the AGC is on.
SLOW SHUTTER
SLOW SHUTTER increases the exposure time on a single
frame, which makes a camera more sensitive to the
light so it can produce images even in low lux
conditions.
You can set the SLOW SHUTTER function as OFF, x2, x4,
x6, x8, x10, x12, x14, or x16 according to the different
light conditions.
Note:
This function is not available, when adopts power over
coaxial to supply power.
3.3 DAY/NIGHT
COLOR, B&W (Black White), and AUTO are selectable
for DAY and NIGHT switches.
COLOR
The image is colorful in day mode all the time.
B&W
The image is black and white all the time, and it is
better to turn the IR LIGHT on in poor light conditions.
IR LIGHT

You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT to meet the
requirements of different circumstances.
SMART IR
The Smart IR function is used to adjust the light to its
most suitable intensity, and prevent the image from
over exposure. The SMART IR value can be adjusted
from 0 to 3. The greater the value is, the more obvious
effects are.
AUTO
You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT, and set the value of
SMART IR in this menu.

DN THRESHOLD (Day to Night Threshold)
Day to Night Threshold is used to control the sensitivity
of switching the day mode to the night mode. You can
set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the
more sensitive the camera is.
ND THRESHOLD (Night to Day Threshold)
Night to Day Threshold is used to control the sensitivity
of switching the night mode to the day mode. You can
set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the
more sensitive the camera is.

IMAGE MODE
IMAGE MODE is used to adjust the image saturation,
and you can set it as STD (Standard), or HIGH-SAT (High
Saturation).
WHITE BALANCE
White balance, the white rendition function of the
camera, is to adjust the color temperature according to
the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in
the image. You can set WHITE BALANCE mode as AUTO,
or MANUAL.
AUTO
Under AUTO mode, white balance is being adjusted
automatically according to the color temperature of the
scene illumination.

BRIGHTNESS
Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You
can set the brightness value from 1 to 9 to darken or
brighten the image. The greater the value is, the
brighter the image is.
CONTRAST
This feature enhances the difference in color and light
between parts of an image. You can set the CONTRAST
value from 1 to 9.
SHARPNESS
Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging
system can reproduce. You can set the SHARPNESS
value from 1 to 9.
SATURATION
Adjust this feature to change the saturation of the color.
The value ranges from 1 to 9.
3 DNR (3D DNR)
3 DNR refers to 3D digital noise reduction. Comparing
with the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D
digital noise reduction function processes the noise
between two frames besides processing the noise in
one frame. The noise will be much less and the video
will be clearer.
MIRROR
OFF, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.
OFF: The mirror function is disabled.
H: The image flips 180° horizontally.
V: The image flips 180° vertically.
HV: The image flips 180° both horizontally and
vertically.
