IMAGING TAB
General: Includes camera orientation and digital processing settings. The orientation settings allow for
standard or inverted installation of the camera. The digital processing settings adjust the sharpness,
saturation, and contrast of the scene.
Exposure: Adjusts scene detail and contrast. A scene with correct exposure settings has adequate detail
and contrast between white and dark values. An image with too little or too much exposure eliminates
detail in the scene. The camera features auto and manual exposure settings.
Focus: Includes auto focus and manual focus settings (refer to Focus in the IM-E and IM-V Series
Installation/Operation manual for detailed instructions). Focus adjustment controls the focus of the lens.
Auto focus automatically adjusts the focus on a subject at the center of the scene. Manual focus turns off
the auto focus mechanism and locks the camera at a user-specified position. The manual focus setting is
recommended only for indoor applications that have a single, unchanging primary light source.
Tone Map: Balances the brightest and darkest sections of an image to produce a picture with more
balanced lighting and more detail.
White Balance: Defines how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. White
balance is especially effective in scenes with changing lighting conditions or in scenes with more than one
type of light source.
Window Blanking: Conceals user-defined privacy areas. A blanked area appears on the screen as a solid
gray window. The camera can handle up to four blanked windows as long as the total blanked area does
not exceed 50 percent of the field of view.
