| − | Brightness - makes video feed brighter or darker
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Contrast - difference in luminance or colour that makes an object
| |
| − |
| |
| − | distinguishable, this varies from blending to separating hue
| |
| − |
| |
| − | saturation - difference in black and white to full color. This can cause issues
| |
| − |
| |
| − | when compressing an image since it takes more information to process colors.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also if the picture is oversaturated then it will also cause blurry or
| |
| − |
| |
| − | artifacted pixels which will cause less compression in the image to occur.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sharpness - is the edge contrast among its surroundings, this can blur or define
| |
| − |
| |
| − | details in an image. The sharper the image the more noise it will create in a
| |
| − |
| |
| − | moving image. This causes the compression to render more of the image which
| |
| − |
| |
| − | results in a larger bit stream and saved file size.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Gamma - A nonlinear lighting adjustment used to eliminate blinding whites and
| |
| − |
| |
| − | absolute dark areas. Think of this like brighness with contrast included, and
| |
| − |
| |
| − | use it to accent darker areas as a fine adjustment.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Anti-Flicker - Used for lights (mostly flourecent lights) to sync up the rate at
| |
| − |
| |
| − | which they pulse. This is used if you see indoor lights flickering on the camera
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Exposure:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Auto, this will automatically adjust the exposure time and the gain (aka ISO)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | for the average lighting setting in the area
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Low Noise - This setting will maximize the gain for the ideal exposure. Low
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Noise Basicly turns up the ISO to the best setting without sacrificing exposure
| |
| − |
| |
| − | timing.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Low Motion Blur - This setting will maximize the fastest shutter speed, and will
| |
| − |
| |
| − | sacrifice the gain in return.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Manual - This setting lets you select your shutter speed and have the gain
| |
| − |
| |
| − | adjust automatically. Selecting customized range will let you both the shutter
| |
| − |
| |
| − | speed an adjust the gain manually.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | White Balance is the process of removing unrealistic color casts. It is an
| |
| − |
| |
| − | adjustment so white colors seem white in certian warm or cool lighted areas:
| |
| − | -Auto: adjusts for the best setting of the whole picture.
| |
| − | -Sunny: adjusts for very bright environments like a sun lit area.
| |
| − | -Night: adjusts for a darker environment
| |
| − | -Outdoor: adjusts for outdoor lighting settings
| |
| − | -Customized: lets you balance out the blue and red color yourself
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Day and Night: used to determine when black and white mode is turned on in a
| |
| − |
| |
| − | dark environment.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Color - always represents picture in color, does not use IR or black and white
| |
| − |
| |
| − | mode. Performs poorly in dimly lit areas unless you are using the Starlight
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Series cameras.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Auto - Uses D&N Sensitivity setting to change between color mode and infrared
| |
| − |
| |
| − | and black and white mode.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Black & White - Always sets picture to black and white, however when
| |
| − |
| |
| − | illumination is too dark it switches on IR mode.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you selected Auto in the above setting you will see:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | D&N Sensitivity: Low, Middle, and High modes are light thresholds to change Day
| |
| − |
| |
| − | and Night settings automatically.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | D&N Delay: The delay in seconds (2-10) when lighting conditions change for Day
| |
| − |
| |
| − | and Night
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | BLC Mode: Backlight compensation is a feature that camera companies have been utilizing for some time now. To read more about BLC modes

| |
| − |
| |
| − | OFF: BLC render mode is off
| |
| − |
| |
| − | BLC: backlight compensation: Default will use the whole image to balance the lighting settings, and Customized will allow you to balance the lighting settings from the target area.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | WDR: Wide Dynamic Range makes multiple scans of a scene to provide one balanced and unwashed image that is clear for the user.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | HLC:Highlight compensation is a feature that came out of necessity due to overexposure from strong light sources like headlights or spotlights.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | SSA: automatically lowers the brightness of bright area and increases the brightness of dark area according to the environmental lighting.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Mirror - Mirrors image on the vertical axis
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Flip - Flips the screen clockwise, 90, 180, or 270*
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Profile Management tab:
| |
| − | Normal which applies the day and night settings automatically
| |
| − | Full time which lets you choose day or night time.
| |
| − | Schedule which you can set day and night on the camera by time.
