Pelco IP110 manual SW1-4 Auto White Balance/Manual White Balance

SW1-4: Auto White Balance/Manual White Balance

Auto white balance (AWB) is enabled by default (ON).

To manually set and lock the white balance:

1.Set SW1-4 to ON.

2.Hold a white background in front of the lens until the video shows all white.

3.While holding the background in place, set SW1-4 to OFF. A green block and a white block alternate briefly on the video image until the manual white balance (MWB) process is complete.

SW1-5: Fluorescent/General

Enable this option to adjust the camera for best operation under fluorescent lighting.

Set SW1-5 to OFF for fluorescent lighting. Set it to ON for general lighting. The default setting is ON.

NOTE: If you use fluorescent operation, you should use AC line lock for best results.

SW1-6: General/Maximum Wide Dynamic Range

Maximum wide dynamic range (WDR) supports about 36 dB of additional dynamic range over a standard camera. Use it for installations that require the maximum WDR.

General WDR supports about 20 dB of additional dynamic range over a standard camera. Use it for installations that do not require the maximum WDR.

Set SW1-6 to ON to select maximum WDR. Set it to OFF to select general WDR. The default setting is ON.

SW1-7: Digital Slow Shutter

The default shutter speed for NTSC is 30 frames per second (fps). It is 25 fps for PAL. This is also known as SENS 2X.

You can decrease the shutter speed to 7.5 fps (NTSC) or 6.25 fps (PAL). This is known as SENS 8X, which improves low light sensitivity.

Set SW1-7 to ON to select SENS 2X. Set it to OFF to select SENS 8X. The default setting is ON.

SW1-8: Day/Night Operation (DW models only)

NOTE: On CW models, SW1-8 is unused and does not affect camera operation.

DW model cameras regularly check the brightness level of the field of view to determine when to switch between day (color) and night (black-white) operation. Use SW1-8 to set the general light levels at which the camera will automatically switch.

Set SW1-8 to ON (dark) to use standard thresholds to switch between color and black-white operation. This is the default.

Set it to OFF (dusk) to use higher light thresholds to switch between color and black-white operation.

Actual brightness threshold levels are affected by camera angle, amount of zoom, field of view, lens, and type of lighting. The switching process lasts from seven to 10 seconds.
