AE (Auto Exposure)
AE describes the brightness-related parameters. You can adjust the image brightness by the BRIGHTNESS,
EXPOSURE MODE, and GAIN in dierent light conditions.
• BRIGHTNESS: Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from
1 to 10 to darken or brighten the image. The higher the brightness value, the brighter the image.
• EXPOSURE MODE: You can set AE mode as GLOBAL, BLC, and WDR.
— GLOBAL: GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode, used when adjusting for unusual lighting
distribution, variations, non-standard processing, or conditions of under exposure to get an
optimum image.
— BLC (Backlight Compensation): BLC compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear,
while compensating for over-exposure of the background where the light is strong. The level can
be adjusted from 0 to 8.
— WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera
provide clear images even under back light circumstances. WDR balances the brightness level of
the whole image and provide clear images with details.
• GAIN: Optimizes the clarity of image in poor light. GAIN level can be set to HIGH, MIDDLE, and LOW.
Select OFF to disable the GAIN function. Noise is amplied when GAIN is on.
WB (White Balance)
White balance is the white rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to
the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can set WB mode as either ATW
or MWB.
• ATW: In ATW mode, white balance is adjusted automatically according to the color temperature of the
scene illumination.
• MWB: In MWB mode, you can set the R GAIN/B GAIN value from 0 to 255 to adjust the shades of red/
blue color of the image.
DAY-NIGHT
Color, B/W, and SMART are selectable for DAY and NIGHT switches.
• COLOR: The image is colored in day mode all the time.
• B/W: The image is black and white all the time, and the IR LED turns on in the low-light conditions.
