Optional: Click the Change Settings link to navigate to the A/V Streams page where Maximum Frame
Rate and Aspect Ratio settings can be established.
Note: Enabling High WDR is only recommended for scenes needing greater than 120dB dynamic
range. You will see increased noise artifacts in the mid-tones at elevated temperatures.
Enabling and Disabling Electronic Image Stabilization
Electronic Image Stabilization attempts to compensate for vibrations that interfere with your camera and
video output. Enable it by choosing On or disable it by choosing Off.
Note: High WDR and Image Stabilization cannot be used at the same time.
Note:Digital Zoom and Image Stabilization cannot be used at the same time.
Configuring Day/Night Mode
Day/Night Mode: Controls the IR cut filter, determining whether or not your camera captures color (day) or
black and white (night) video. You can set the Day/Night position manually, but it is recommended that you
engage the auto mode if lighting around your camera is expected to change drastically at any time.
1. Set your Day/Night Mode.
l Auto: Engages day or night mode based on the Transition Level setting; this allows you to
capture color video (Day) when enough light is available, and automatically switch to black and
white video (Night) when light is unavailable.
l Manual/Position: Requires you to choose a Day or Night mode. Day captures color video;
Night captures grayscale video.
2. (Optional) Set your camera’s Transition Level, determining when the camera switches from Day to
Night mode. Lighter settings cause the camera to change modes at higher lux values.
3. (Optional) Set the Transition Detect Time, determining the frequency at which the device checks for
adequate light to transition to day mode or night mode.
Configuring Focus Settings
Focus Settings affect your camera’s focusing behaviors. If you set all focus behavior settings to Off, you
must manually focus your camera.
l Auto:Automatically back-focuses the camera on the subject in the center of the scene.
l Manual: Locks the camera’s focus at a specified position. Manual focus is recommended only for
indoor applications with a single, unchanging light source or when using analytics.
l Sure Focus: When set to On, causes your camera to auto focus when pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ)
operations are complete or if the IR cut filter changes state. When your camera achieves an auto
focus lock, auto focus is turned off and the focal position will remain until the next PTZ operation. If
30 seconds pass without an auto focus lock, your camera will retain its focal position until the next
PTZ action.
l Focus Trace: Enables your camera to use a focus trace curve when zooming based on the distance
to ground-level targets in the scene; distance to ground-level targets is determined by the Install
Height setting. If Auto Focus is disabled, set to Off, your camera will not perform auto-focus
operations, but will perform focus trace corrections when the tilt angle of your camera changes.
