Iris Settings

Iris settings control the amount of light let into the SentinelPro camera. Changing these settings affect how bright your picture will be, and how the camera reacts to changes in lighting conditions. Your options are:

·PEAK: This setting controls the reaction of the automatic iris adjustment in relation to the average light level in the picture. A higher level of peak sets the camera so that the automatic light controls adjust to a higher average light level.

·ALC: Automatic Light Control determines whether the camera should adjust for light differences automatically or manually. If you set this to manual, you can set the level of lighting control that will be used.

·AES: (Automatic Exposure Setting) selects whether to use automatic or manual exposure settings, how long the exposure should be. This affects how fast the camera “sees” an image – a long exposure time lets more light in and could give you a clearer picture, but it will mean that motion is harder to see.

Backlight Compensation

Backlight compensation settings affect how the camera adjusts for light sources behind the camera’s view or focus. You can use this to adjust for the silhouette effect you might get when looking at things with light behind them.

·BLC: Turns Backlight Compensation On or Off. Turning BLC On will brighten the part of the picture that is being silhouetted, but will also brighten the background.

·AREA: If BLC is on, the AREA setting allows you to set the sensitivity separately for different parts of the camera’s field of view. The default setting only turns on BLC in the center of the camera’s viewing field.

·SENS: Adjusts the sensitivity of the Backlight Compensation. Low means that the camera responds less to backlit conditions, higher settings means that compensation turns on more quickly.

Use the Up and Down arrows to select IRIS (use the Left Arrow (Dim) to back out of the menu). With IRIS selected, when you press the Right arrow button the screen above right is displayed.

Use the up and Down arrows (On and Off) to select the desired menu item from the screen above right (Peak, ALC, AES). Then select the item with the Right Arrow. Adjust the item with the Up and Down arrows. Select with the Right Arrow, and then back out of the menu with successive presses of the Left arrow.
