EXPOSURE

EXPOSURE describes the brightness-related parameters. You can adjust the image brightness by the

BRIGHTNESS, EXPOSURE MODE, GAIN, DWDR and ANTI-FLICKER in dierent 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 EXPOSURE mode as GLOBAL or BLC.

— 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.

• 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 amplied when GAIN is on.

• DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) DWDR helps the camera provide clear images even with bright

or dark backlight conditions. When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the

Cleaning Instructions

• Dust or grease on the dome cover will cause IR reection. Do not remove the dome cover lm until the

installation is nished. If there is dust or grease on the dome cover, clean the dome cover with clean

soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.

• Make sure that there is no reective surface too close to the camera lens. The IR light from the camera

may reect back into the lens causing reection.

• The foam ring around the lens must be seated ush against the inner surface of the bubble to isolate

the lens from the IR LEDS. Fasten the dome cover to camera body so that the foam ring and the dome

cover are attached seamlessly.

Clean the camera dome with an approved glass cleaning solution and a lint free cloth.

• Dust can be removed from the unit by wiping it with a soft damp cloth. To remove stains, gently rub

the surface with a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and dry it with a

soft cloth.
