To prevent serious injury or death, follow these safeguards:

• In the use of the product, you must be in strict compliance with the electrical safety regulations of the nation and region.

• Input voltage should meet both the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and the Limited Power Source with 12 VDC according to the IEC60950-1 and IEC62368-1 standard. Refer to technical specifications for detailed information.

• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• An all-pole mains switch shall be incorporated in the electrical installation of the building.

• Do not connect multiple devices to one power adapter to avoid over-heating or a fire hazard caused by overload.

• Make sure that the plug is firmly connected to the power socket.

• If smoke, odor or noise rise from the device, turn off the power at once and unplug the power cord, and then contact the service center.

• Never attempt to disassemble the camera by unprofessional personal.

To prevent potential injury or material damage, follow these precautions:

• No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the equipment.

• Install the equipment according to the instructions in this manual.

• To prevent injury, this equipment must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

• Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.

• Do not touch sensor modules with fingers.

• Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold (the operating temperature shall be -40°C to 60°C), dusty or damp locations, and do not expose it to high electromagnetic radiation.

• If cleaning is necessary, use a clean cloth with a bit of ethanol and wipe it gently.

• Do not aim the camera at the sun or extra bright places.

• The sensor may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser equipment is in use, make sure that the surface of the sensor will not be exposed to the laser beam.

• Do not expose the device to high electromagnetic radiation or extremely hot, cold, dusty or damp environments.

• To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for the operating environment.

• Keep the camera away from liquid while in use for non-water-proof devices.

• While in delivery, the camera shall be packed in its original packing, or packing of the same texture.

• The beam of the light at the distance of 200 mm is classified as Risk Group 1 (RG1). Possible hazardous optical radiation is emitted from this product.

• DO NOT stare at the operating light source. It may be harmful to the eyes.

• Wear appropriate eye protection or turn on the supplement light only at a safe distance (0.3 m) or in the area that is not directly exposed to the light when installing or maintaining the device.

Please follow the steps below to call and control the menu. Note: The actual display may vary with your camera model.

Steps to access the menu:

1. Connect the camera with the TVI DVR and the monitor.

2. Power on the camera, TVI DVR, and monitor to view the image on the monitor.

3. Click PTZ Control to enter the PTZ Control interface.

4. Call the camera menu by clicking the appropriate button or calling preset No. 95.

Steps to navigate the menu:

1. Click the up/down direction buttons to select menu options.

2. Click Iris + to confirm the selection.

3. Click left/right direction buttons to adjust the value of the selected option.

The available video formats depend on the camera’s video output type and model specifications. The table below outlines the available options.

You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, HLC, or DWDR.

• GLOBAL: This is the normal exposure mode which adjusts lighting distribution, variations, and non-standard processing.

• BLC (Backlight Compensation): BLC compensates light to the object in the front to make it clear, but this may cause over-exposure of the background where the light is strong.

• HLC (Highlight Compensation): HLC detects strong spots (over-exposure portions of the image) and reduces their brightness to improve the overall image.

• DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range): This gives the camera the ability to view dark areas of the given image as well as extremely lighted portions of the image, or areas of high contrast.

AGC optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The AGC level can be set to HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW.

Note: The noise will be amplified when setting the AGC level.

In the LIGHTING SETTINGS menu, you can configure IR LIGHT and WHITE LIGHT options.

IR LIGHT

• IR LIGHT: You can turn on/off the IR LIGHT to meet the requirements of different circumstances.

• SMART IR: The Smart IR function is used to adjust the light to its most suitable intensity and prevent the image from overexposure.

• D→N Threshold (Day to Night Threshold): This controls the sensitivity of switching from day mode to night mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value, the more sensitive the camera is.

• N→D Threshold (Night to Day Threshold): This controls the sensitivity of switching from night mode to day mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value, the more sensitive the camera is.

WHITE LIGHT

Under the WHITE LIGHT sub-menu, you can set the mode to OFF or AUTO.

• OFF: Set it to OFF to disable this function.

• AUTO: In this mode, you can set THRESHOLD and LEVEL.

• THRESHOLD: The higher the threshold is, the more sensitive the device is to a dark environment.

• LEVEL: You can adjust the maximum brightness of the supplement light.

Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and enter the submenu. The following settings are adjustable:

• IMAGE MODE: This is used to adjust the image saturation. You can set it to STD (Standard), HIGH-SAT (High Saturation), or HIGHLIGHT (better indoor facial details).

• WHITE BALANCE: This function adjusts the color temperature according to the environment to remove unrealistic color casts. You can set the mode to AUTO or MANUAL. In MANUAL mode, you can set the R-GAIN/B-GAIN value to adjust the shades of red/blue color of the image.

• BRIGHTNESS: Refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the value from 1 to 9 to darken or brighten the image.

• CONTRAST: This feature enhances the difference in color and light between parts of an image.

• SHARPNESS: This determines the amount of detail an imaging system can reproduce.

• SATURATION: This is the proportion of pure chromatic color in the total color sensation. Adjust this feature to change the saturation of the color.

• DNR (Digital Noise Reduction): This function reduces noise in the video stream.

Under the AUDIO SETTINGS sub-menu, you can set the mode to ON or OFF. Adjust the VOLUME to a higher value to raise the volume.

Navigate to the FACTORY DEFAULT option in the menu. This will reset all the settings except the video format to factory defaults.
