Camera -> Advance (Style 2):
White Balance: Select the value that best represents the installation
environment of the camera, or leave it on auto to let the
camera do the adjustment automatically for you.
Lighting: If the camera is installed indoors, select either 50 or 60 Hz,
depending on the power grid frequency in your country.
Select Outdoor, if the camera is installed outside, or pointing
outside. The automatic mode can also be used, but best
results are ensured by manually specifying the correct value
for your location.
Exposure mode: Exposure mode controls the behavior of the shutter, which is
used to control the brightness of the video.
Auto: The camera controls the shutter speed automatically.
As light levels decrease, the camera keeps the shutter open
longer and vice versa.
Auto (fast shutter)/High-Speed Mode: This mode provides
better results when moving objects (e.g., cars) are captured
by the camera. The shorter shutter time ensures that the
moving object remains sharp.
Manual: When this is selected, you can manually specify the
time the camera keeps the shutter open. This is useful if you
want to instruct the camera to keep the shutter open for a
relatively long time in order to be able to capture video in
poor light conditions. Values range from ¼ sec. to 1/120
seconds. REMOVE:
With the gain value you can also adjust the exposure time. This
feature is not suitable if the camera captures outdoor video and typically, you do not need to
change the exposure mode to manual.
Iris:
Optional parameter, only available in cameras with a DC-
controlled auto-iris. This value should be set to auto to allow
the camera to adjust the iris in accordance with the current
light conditions for best results. The calibration function
should be performed from time to time to ensure proper
results.
If the light levels are too low, the calibration function will fail
and the message “Calibration Failed” is shown. This is normal.
Repeat the calibration when there is more light available.
