Description

 

 

 

Flickerless

Off, On

Eliminates the “flicker” that can appear in an image under certain

 

 

lighting conditions (for example, fluorescent lighting). This setting is not

 

 

available if you have selected ELC.

 

 

 

DSS

Off, Low, High

Automatically provides a clear image under low-light conditions. DSS

(Digital Slow Shutter)

 

improves the picture quality (brightness) in low-light scenes. DSS might

 

 

introduce motion blur; the higher the setting, the more likely motion blur

 

 

will occur.

 

 

 

Day/Night

Auto, Day, Night

Controls True Day/Night (TDN) operation. When Auto is selected, the

 

 

IR-cut filter will be removed automatically in low-light scenes. When Day

 

 

is selected, the IR-cut filter is on at all times. When Night is selected, the

 

 

IR-cut filter is off (removed) at all times.

 

 

 

Night Mode

B/W or Color

Sets the color mode as B/W (monochrome) or Color in Night Mode.

 

 

Day/Night must be set to Night.

 

 

 

Detect Time

5–60 seconds

Sets the time (560seconds) before the camera switches to Day or

 

 

Night mode after detecting a low-light condition or a normal light

 

 

condition, respectively.

 

 

Day/Night must be set to Auto.

 

 

 

DayToNight

1–7

Determines the low light detection level (17) when the camera

 

 

switches to Night mode. The lower the value, the darker the lighting

 

 

conditions before the camera switches.

 

 

Day/Night must be set to Auto.

 

 

Note The DayToNight threshold level must be set at least 2 less than

 

 

the NightToDay threshold setting.

 

 

Note The DayToNight threshold range is decreased if the AGC level is

 

 

reduced.

 

 

 

NightToDay

3–9

Determines the low light detection level (39) when the camera

 

 

switches to Day mode. The higher the value, the brighter the lighting

 

 

conditions before the camera switches.

 

 

Day/Night must be set to Auto.

 

 

Note The NightToDay threshold range is decreased if the AGC level is

 

 

reduced.

 

 

 

White Balance

White Balance ensures that color integrity is maintained in the camera image by compensating for the temperature color “casts” that different light sources can cause. Use Table 4-6to set up White Balance options.
