More on Shutter Settings?
This OSD allows users to adjust the settings of the camera shutter. For
instance, setting the cameras electronic shutter to
Automatic, allows the shutter
speed to change with response to the amount of perceived light to keep
the signal output at the best possible level.
This allows an iris to adapt automatically to different lighting
conditions. When the shutter speed increases, the light passing through
the lens is decreased and the cameras sensitivity is reduced. When the
shutter speed is decreased, a larger amount of light enters the iris.
For fast moving objects the shutter speed can also be increased to
provide a freeze effect in order to provide higher resolution images.
More on White Balance?
With this OSD, White Balance can be set to a number of settings. For
instance, the Automatic White Balance setting allows the camera to
adjust the tone according to the color temperature of the light source
illuminating the subject.
It allows the operator to see objects as they appear during daylight.
However, manually adjusting, or pushing the white balance feature is
also available with this OSD, along with creating different unique
savable user settings.
More on Backlight Settings?
Generally speaking, this OSD allows for adjusting the impact of
backlight in various lighting settings. When Automatic Backlight
Compensation or BLC is activated, the camera can sense the whole area of
the frame and measure the average light level.
The working point will be based on general testing of the whole
environment. If there is a very bright background with a very dim front
image, back light compensation is activated so that the camera can apply
light to the dark zone. With this feature a normally dark and unspecific
image can be easily transformed into a clear and easily interpreted one.

With Auto Backlight Compensation (BLC) TURNED ON
What is a Privacy Mask?
Privacy masking or zoning is a great yet often overlooked and
misunderstood feature. This OSD allows privacy masking settings to be
adjusted. With a privacy mask, protection of personal privacy is
possible by concealing parts of the camera’s image from view with a
masked area i.e., transparent or pixelated effect.
This OSD allows for an ON/OFF setting to be applied to up to 4 separate
privacy masks.
Day/Night Feature
This OSD allows for programmability of the Day/Night features included
in these cameras. The settings can be set to Auto, Black and White, or
Colour, to account for various lighting situations in order to provide
optimal image quality at different times of day.
NOTE: adjusting the D/N feature at
different times of day, for instance, to Black and White after dark; can
often account for better visibility as seen below.
