Note: When WDR is enabled, you might notice a slight flicker to the video
image. This is a normal characteristic of WDR operation.
Changing the Wide Dynamic Range Setting
1. Select Camera Functions from the Dome Configuration Menu.
2. Move the highlight to the WDR field, and then change the setting.
• Select OFF to disable WDR. Use this setting when the light level is constant or changes
in lighting conditions are gradual.
• Select ON to enable WDR. Use this setting when both bright- and low-light areas need
to be viewed simultaneously.
The default setting is OFF.
3. Select Exit. The Dome Configuration Menu appears.
Note: When Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) is enabled, the Wide Dynamic
Range feature cannot be enabled and does not display on the Camera Functions
screen.
Working with AGC and Open Shutter Settings
The SpeedDome Ultra 8 camera dome provides settings for compensating for low-light scenes
in color: Automatic Gain Control and Open Shutter. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) amplifies
the video signal in scenes with minimal light. Many low-light scenes result in picture noise. As
gain is increased, the picture noise is also amplified.
