Video Adjustments Area

Auto Iris Mode	Choose whether auto iris mode is enabled or disabled:
	• On—Auto iris mode is enabled. With this setting, the iris opening in the
	IP camera lens adjusts automatically based on light conditions. This
	setting is the default and recommended choice.
	• Off - Auto iris mode is disabled. With this setting, the iris opening in the
	IP camera lens remains fully open.
Sensitivity	Designates how the iris opening in the IP camera lens adjusts when auto iris
	mode is enabled. As sensitivity increases, the auto iris closes more to reduce
	the light level and increase the depth of field in bright environments.
	However, a high sensitivity may cause the image to oscillate between bright
	and dim. In this situation, reduce the sensitivity to improve the image quality.
White Balance Mode	Choose one the following white balance modes from the drop-down list:
	• Manual—Choose this option if you want to set the white balance by
	using the White Balance slider in the Camera Video/Control window as
	described in Chapter 4, “Viewing Live Video.”
	• Auto—Suitable for most conditions that do not have special lighting
	• Indoor (incandescent)—Suitable for indoor conditions
	• Fluorescent (white light)—Suitable for indoor conditions with
	fluorescent white lighting
	• Fluorescent (yellow light)—Suitable for indoor conditions with
	fluorescent yellow lighting
	• Outdoor—Suitable for outdoor conditions.
	The default setting is Auto.
