3.2 EXPOSURE
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, HLC,
or DWDR.
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
over-exposure of the background where the light is
strong.
HLC (Highlight Compensation)
HLC stands for highlight compensation. The camera
detects strong spots (over-exposure portion of image)
and reduces the brightness of strong spots to improve the
overall images.
DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)
Digital wide dynamic range gives the camera the ability to
view dark areas of the given image as well as extremely
lighted portions of the image, or areas of high contrast.
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 setting the AGC level.
ANTI-BANDING
ANTI-BANDING is a camera setting that prevents the
appearance of horizontal lines (banding) when
photographing images in low frequency light and high
brightness environments.

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.
D N 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.
N D Threshold (Night to Day Threshold)
