Î Keep it in OFF position all the time.
Privacy : Privacy setting and management function has been
moved to the main page, in title of “Privacy Mask”.
Î Keep it in OFF position all the time.
DAY/NIGHT: An IR (Infra-Red) filter is usually placed between CCD
and lens, to cut off non-visible light from going to CCD,
for obtaining better image quality. Such filter must be
removed when IR light source is provided in dark, or
camera can not receive the IR signal and no image
will be reproduced.
Mode Color
: Camera software will keep video output
in color format, with adjustable burst
level. Changing burst level will cause
color intense changes
B/W: burst on / off switch; taking burst
down will turn image to real
black-and-white, which would give you
better resolution (details); In B/W mode,
we suggest you keep burst OFF, for
higher image resolution
Auto: camera software will decide image
would be color or B/W based on the
brightness level it “sees” on the object.
If the level is high, color mode will be
maintained; otherwise, the software will
turn output into B/W.
PS
: the 10x version provides one extra Auto
mode (listed Auto1 and Auto2); the two
Auto modes have same function but are
for different brightness levels
NOTE
: when you change to Auto from B/W mode, picture
may remain in B/W; so we suggest you to make
change from Color mode to Auto when needed
