Step 3

1. Use the template supplied on the quick installation guide to mark an appropriate mounting

position on a wall, drilling to create apertures on the wall. Additionally, for proper routing of Video

Output Terminal and Power Input Terminal cables, there may need to be a hole on the wall right

at the center of the template.

2. Insert the four wall plugs into the apertures and install the camera to the mounting surface by

fastening four screws.

3. Secure the camera on the mounting surface by using a Torx driver.

1. Focus Adjuster:

Adjusts the lens focus from near (N) to far (∞). Turning counterclockwise toward N would

bias lens focus for near objects, whereas turning clockwise toward the ∞ setting would bias

the focus for far-away objects.

2. Second Video Out Jack:

Sends out identical video information as that of the first video out jack. A second video out

jack would allow simultaneous video connection to a DVR in addition to a video monitor.

(NOTE: Cable for 2

video out is sold separately.)

3. IR ON/OFF Switch: Turns the IR (infrared) illumination option ON or OFF. IR

illumination takes effect when there is inadequate or no visible lighting.

4. Field of View Adjuster: Adjusts the focal length of the lens from wide (W) to telephoto (T).

Turning counterclockwise toward W would decrease focal length, yielding wider field of view,

whereas turning clockwise toward the T setting would increase focal length, yielding narrower

field of view but with farther zoom.

5. OSD Toggle Switch is for navigation through the OSD menu.

areas in high-contrast scenarios.

DAY EXPOSURE has these submenu items: WDR CTRL, WDR ZONE, EXPOSURE PREF, BLC, and

DAY AGC.

 WDR CTRL: Specifies WDR (wide dynamic range) preset or user-adjustable control settings.

Available choices are LOW, NORMAL, MEDIUM, HIGH, and CUSTOM (AUTO-RANGE). Note

that by choosing CUSTOM, the subsequent AUTO-RANGE sub-menu will appear.

AUTO-RANGE

BIAS (-30~30):

LIMIT (0~36):

Sets dynamic range limit factor for EXPOSURE PREF.

 WDR ZONE: Specifies the screen region for WDR calibration reference. There are 4 presets,

each with its own factory default settings: WD NORMAL, SAFE AREA, CTR SPOT, and

LOWER 1/3.

Each of these 4 presets can be further adjusted by pressing ENTER – the ZONE adjustment

screen will appear with the following stages (in order):

is 0 ~ 60.

NIGHT EXPOSURE

This menu item sets exposure settings for night-time use. This camera has the DNR (digital noise

reduction) feature, which reduces image noise in low luminance environment.

NIGHT EXPOSURE has these submenu items: SLOW SHUTTER, DNR, and NIGHT AGC.

 SLOW SHUTTER: This is the option to slow down the shutter in exchange for extended

exposure time (improved visibility by sacrificing some timeliness). The available settings are

shown in time extension factor and frame rate (FPS = frames per second):

(NOTE: to simplify the OSD menu tree listings, frame rates are omitted in the OSD Menu Overview section of this

manual and quick start guide)

OFF / 2X - 30FPS / 4X - 15FPS / 8X - 8FPS / 16X - 4FPS / 32X - 2FPS / 64X - 2FPS

WHITE BALANCE

White balance is the mechanism of choosing and/or setting the “white color reference” of the current

environment for optimal image color calibrations. The available white balance modes are:

ATW Normal, 1 TOUCH*, MANUAL, and ATW Xtnd

ATW Normal

This option sets the camera to Auto-Tracking White-balance Normal mode, which automatically and

continuously tracks video display contents (in the normal color temperature range of 2800~9100K) and

adjusts the display for optimal white balance.

1 TOUCH*

This option executes white balance calibration based on the moment of pressing the ENTER button.

MANUAL

This option allows the user to specify customized white balance settings. Entering this option will call

for its submenu “MANUAL WHITE BALANCE”. Follow instructions on the screen to make appropriate

adjustments.

ATW Xtnd

This option sets the camera to Auto-Tracking White-balance Extended mode, which automatically and

continuously tracks video display contents (in the extended color temperature range of 2000~11000K)

and adjusts the display for optimal white balance.

VIEWING

This menu item allows non-adaptive picture adjustments and settings of image presentation.

OSD Menu Descriptions

Discover 700 Series Outdoor IR Bullet Camera

MONITOR

This option sets the camera to Auto-Tracking White-balance Normal mode, which automatically and

continuously tracks video display contents (in the normal color temperature range of 2800~7500K) and

adjusts the display for optimal white balance.

PTZ

This option (pan, tilt, zoom) allows the user to digitally zoom in to a particular region of the surveillance

screen.

 ZOOM (1 ~ 8) – Adjusts the amount of magnification from 1X to 8X. Note that at the setting of 1,

the PAN and TILE adjustments have no effect (since the magnification is set at 1X, i.e. the

entire screen).

 PAN (-100 ~ 100) – Shifts the zoom window horizontally (-100 is the leftmost setting; 100 is the

rightmost setting; if there is a horizontal flip, the left and right settings are swapped).

 TILT –Shifts the zoom window vertically (-100 is the down-most setting; 100 is the up-most

setting; if there is a vertical flip, the up and down settings are swapped).

FLIP

This option allows the user to correct image orientation due to inverted physical camera lens orientation.

The available settings are:

 OFF – Image orientation is unchanged.

 HORIZ – This option flips the image horizontally for mirror-like screen behavior (more

natural for rear-view surveillance)

 VERT – This option flips the image vertically with mirror-like screen behavior (useful for

upside-down camera orientation and more natural for rear-view surveillance)

 BOTH - This option flips the image both vertically and horizontally (useful for upside-down

camera orientation and more natural for front-view surveillance)

COLOR GAIN

-8~8 – Adjusts the color gain of the overall video image. Range of adjustment is -8 to 8.

SHARPNESS

-8~8 – Adjusts the sharpness of the overall video image. Range of adjustment is -8 to 8 (-8 = most

blurry; 8 = sharpest edge clarity but may come with additional video artifacts).

PRIVACY MASK SETUP

This camera allows privacy mask creation and control for protecting privacy of certain regions. Up to 12

privacy masks can be created.
