Conditions Here you can view device property information. Slight differences may be found due to different network camera series. The setups become valid immediately after you save it.

Note: Only motorized zoom lens device has zoom and focus function.

Parameter

Function

Profile

You may select normal, day and night mode. Then you can set and view config and its effect.

Brightness

It is to adjust monitor window brightness. You can adjust this value if the video is too dark or too bright. The larger the number, the bright the video is. When you input the value here, the bright section and the dark section of the video will be adjusted accordingly.  Please note the video may become hazy if the value is too high.

The value ranges from 0 to 100. The recommended value ranges from 40 to 60. The default value is 50.

Contrast

It is to adjust monitor window contrast. The larger the number, the higher the contrast is. You can use this function when the whole video bright is OK but the contrast is not proper. Please note the video may become hazy if the value is too low. If this value is too high, the dark section may lack brightness while the bright section may over exposure.

The value ranges from 0 to 100. The recommended value ranges from 40 to 60. The default value is 50.

Saturation

It is to adjust monitor window saturation. The larger the number, the strong the color is. This value has no effect on the general brightness of the whole video. The video color may become too strong if the value is too high. For the grey part of the video, the distortion may occur if the white balance is not accurate.  Please note the video may not be attractive if the value is too low.

The value ranges from 0 to 100. The recommended value ranges from 40 to 60.

The default value is 50.

Sharpness

The value here is to adjust the edge of the video. The larger the value is, the clear the edge is and vice versa. Please note there is noise if the value here is too high.

The value ranges from 0 to 100. The recommended value ranges from 40 to 60.

The default value is 50.

Gamma

This threshold value mainly change image brightness via nonlinear method and improves dynamic display range. The higher this value, the brighter image will be and vice versa. The value ranges from 0 to 100. The recommended value ranges from 40 to 60.

The default value is 50.

Anti-flicker

  • Outdoor: In this mode, you can switch exposure mode to get the effect under the corresponding exposure mode.
  • 50Hz: When the current is 50Hz, system can auto adjust the exposure according to the environment brightness in case there is any strip.
  • 60Hz: When the current is 60Hz, system can auto adjust the exposure according to the environment brightness in case there is any strip.

Exposure


Note:

Only when anti-flicker is outdoor, exposure mode is available.

  • Auto:
  • The video whole brightness can automatically change within the proper exposure range according to the different environments. The higher the gain max value is, the lower the noise is.
  • Low noise:
  • The video whole brightness can automatically change within the proper exposure range according to the different environments. The higher the gain max value is, the lower the noise is.
  • For the same environments, the noise of the low noise mode shall be smaller than the noise of the auto mode.
  • Low motion blur
  • The video whole brightness can automatically change within the proper exposure range according to the different environments. The lower the exposure max value is, the week the tail is.
  • For the same environments, the noise of the low motion blur mode shall be smaller than that of the auto mode.
  • Manual
  • It is to display manual exposure value.

Auto Iris

Before the setup, please make sure you have installed the auto iris.

You can check the box before ON to enable this function. The auto iris may change if the light becomes different.

When you disable this function, the iris is at the max. System does not add the auto iris function in the exposure control.

This function is on by default.

White Balance

It is to set the white balance mode. It has effect on the general hue of the video. This function is on by default.

You can select the different scene mode such as auto, sunny, cloudy, home, office, night, disable and etc to adjust the video to the best quality.

  • Auto: The auto white balance is on. System can auto compensate the color temperature to make sure the vide color is proper.
  • Sunny: The threshold of the white balance is in the sunny mode.
  • Night: The threshold of the white balance is in the night mode.
  • Customized: You can set the gain of the red/blue channel. The value reneges from 0 to 100.
  • Outdoor: White balance threshold sets to outdoor mode.

Day&Night

It is to set device day/night mode switch independently from config file. Default is auto mode.  

  • Color: Device outputs the color video.
  • Auto: Device auto select to output the color or the B/W video according to the device feature (The general bright of the video or there is IR light or not.)
  • B/W: The device outputs the black and white video.
  • Sensor input: It is for external connection to IR light to control day/night mode.

Note: Only some non-IR devices support sensor input function.

Sensitivity

It adjusts sensitivity of color and black/white switch. There are low, medium and high levels. Default is medium.

Note:

Available only when day/night is auto.

Delay

It adjusts delay value of color and black/white switch. Its value  range is 2~10, and default is 6.

Note:

Available only when day/night is auto.

BLC Mode

BLC is used for backlight situation.

  • SSA
  • For backlight scene, SSA can automatically lower the brightness of high brightness area and increase the brightness of low brightness area according to the environmental brightness, and try to make it clear to see what is in the picture.
  • BLC
  • Default BLC: auto exposure according to scene.
  • Custom: select area to exposure, the objective is to make appropriate brightness in selected area.


  • WDR
  • For the WDR scene, this function can lower the high bright section and enhance the brightness of the low bright section. So that you can view these two sections clearly at the same time. The value ranges from 1 to 100. Default is 50.
  • When you switch the camera from no-WDR mode to the WDR mode, system may lose several seconds record video.
  • HLC
  • After you enabled HLC function, the device can lower the brightness of the brightest section according to the HLC control level. It can reduce the area of the halo and lower the brightness of the whole video. The value ranges from 0 to 100. The default value is 50 when HLC is on.
  • Off

Note:

It is to disable the BLC function. Please note this function is disabled by default.

3D NR

This threshold is mainly for multi-frame (at least 2) image processing. It reduces noise with info between a frame and previous frame. The higher the value, the better NR will be. Default is enabled. NR level ranges from 0 to 100. The recommended value to from 40 to 60. Default value is 50.

EIS

It can realize electronic anti-jitter function via algorithm of comparing image difference, which has efficiently solved the problem of image dithering during use and makes the picture much clearer. Default is off.

Defog Mode

The image quality will be lower when the device is exposed to the environment with fog and haze, the image can operate auto de-warp. It can also select different intensity manually according to the fog density to adjust the image definition. The default is off.

Mirror

It is to switch video left and right limit.

This function is disabled by default.

Full-screen Test

Click the  button on the video window, you can begin full-screen test.

Default

It is to set device default setup.

Cancel

It is to cancel the operation in current interface and restore previously saved operation.

OK

Save config.

Profile Management

IPCProfileManagement1.jpg

Profile management has three modes: normal, full time and schedule. If you select normal, the video will be configured as normal.

IPCProfileManagement2.jpg

If you select full time, you must select either day or night, and the video will be configured accordingly.

IPCProfileManagement3.jpg

If you select schedule, you can decide detained day time interval and night time interval. You can set 0:00 ~ 12:00 as day, and 12:00 ~ 24:00 as night.

Important

  • The setup becomes immediately effective after you click on OK.
  • You can see WDR option only if your camera supports WDR function. System does not support long-time exposure or low noise mode.
