STEP 2. Connect the camera to the “Video In” port on the monitor or television.

For Television: You may need to tune or select the correct INPUT (i.e.; A/V, L1, L2, Source) Consult your television’s manual for details.

Depending on your TV or monitor, you may need to use a BNC-to-RCA adapter (not included) to connect the BNC connector on the video/power cable to your screen.

CONTROLLING YOUR CAMERA

The camera’s on-screen menu is accessed by the multifunction button attached to the camera cable. In the case of the QD6503X, a group of five buttons makes up the multi-function controls. The operation of both types of control is similar.

OPERATION

The On Screen Display (OSD) built into your camera allows you to control almost every aspect of how it captures images. Using the built-in menus, you can control brightness, contrast, white balance, shutter speed and other functions.

It should be noted that these settings must be made at the camera itself and they cannot be set remotely. When used with a security DVR system, what you see on the screen will be what is recorded - including the OSD menu. In fact, use of the OSD can trigger motion detection so it may be advisable to temporarily disconnect/disable alarms or notifications when working in the OSD menu.

When saved using the “Save All” command, settings will be stored on the camera even in the event of power loss. Once power is restored, the camera will continue to operate according to your settings. You can revert to the factory default settings by selecting “Camera Reset” in the menu.

SETUP MENU

Pressing the multi-function or Menu button (depending on model) will open the OSD to the first page of the Setup Menu. The menu will appear over the video image being delivered by the camera.

To access the on screen display, press the control or menu button. This will bring up the menu on your system’s monitor or other attached display. This button also acts as the “Enter” button when setting your parameters.

Navigate through the menu using the directional controls. The cable-mounted multi-function button acts as a miniature joystick allowing you to move up, down, left or right through the menu and submenus. On the QD6503X, pressing the individual directional buttons will move you through the on screen display.

To change a setting, scroll to the desired item until it is highlighted and press right or left to select the desired value. Menu options with a “” indicate that there is a submenu. Clicking on an item with that option will take you to the submenu. Move between the two pages using NEXT or BACK as appropriate.

LENS

This turns the auto iris feature on or off. The iris controls the amount of light entering the lens, or exposure. Only the QD6503X has the capability to use this feature, but it will require an automatic lens which is available separately. With such a lens attached, you can select;

In addition to the on-screen settings, you can adjust the camera’s zoom, focus, and in some cases the light level (iris). These adjustments can be made externally with the exception of the QD6001D which will require removal of the dome to adjust.

QD6503X Multi-Function Controls

TYPE - DC (direct current) or VIDEO (video control) of the iris.

MODE - AUTO (automatically adjusts), OPEN (always opened) or CLOSE (always closed).

SPEED - When the mode is set to AUTO, this controls the sensitivity of the lens with a value ranging from 0 to 255.
