3.3 MAIN MENU
AE (Auto Exposure)
You can adjust BRIGHTNESS, EXPOSURE MODE, AGC,
DWDR in this section.
BRIGHTNESS

Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. The
higher the value is, and more brighter the image is.
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, or
HLC.
GLOBAL
GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which
adjusts lighting distribution, variations, and non-standard
processing.
BLC (Backlight Compensation)
The BLC (backlight compensation) function can
compensate light to the object in the front to make it
clear, but this causes the overexposure 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.
AGC (Auto Gain Control)
It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light
conditions. The AGC level can be set to HIGH, MIDDLE, or
LOW.
Note:
The noise will be amplified when the AGC is on.
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.
WB (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 WB mode to AUTO (ATW), or
MANUAL (MWB).
AUTO
Under AUTO mode, white balance adjusts automatically
according to the color temperature of the scene
illumination.
MANUAL
You can set the R-GAIN/B-GAIN value to adjust the
shades of red/blue color of the image.

DAY/NIGHT
You can select the DAY/NIGHT as B/W, SMART, or COLOR.
B/W
The image is black and white all the time.
SMART
SMART refers to Smart IR. The function is used to adjust
the light to its most suitable intensity, and prevent the
image from overexposure.

IMAGE MODE
IMAGE MODE is used to adjust the image saturation, and
you can set it to STD (Standard), or HIGH-SAT (High
Saturation).
CONTRAST
This feature enhances the difference in color and light
between parts of an image. You can set the CONTRAST
value from 1 to 10.
SHARPNESS
Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging
system can reproduce. You can set the SHARPNESS value
from 1 to 10.
COLOR GAIN
COLOR GAIN is determined by a combination of light
intensity and how much it is distributed across the
spectrum of different wavelengths.
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)
The DNR function can decrease the noise effect,
especially when capturing moving images in poor light
conditions, and delivering more accurate and sharper
image.
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.
