the Min Focus Distance (m) to an expected minimum distance that the camera will need to focus on.
Setting White Balance
Each Sensor has its own white balance settings. Auto mode is the default setting for each sensor.
Selecting Manual mode allows you to adjust white balance settings for the sensor.
1. Select White Balance from the Imaging menu.
2. Select a white balance mode:
l Auto: The recommended setting for most lighting conditions. It has a color temperature range
from 7,500K to 2,500K.It can be used to properly white balance scenes illuminated by daylight
to warm white sources.
l Auto Tracking White (ATW): Has the largest color temperature range.
l Cool White: A fixed white balance mode for cooler (more blue) sources such as true daylight,
daylight fluorescent, white light LEDs, or metal halide sources.
l Warm White: A fixed white balance mode for warmer (more yellow) sources such as
incandescent, tungsten-halogen, warm white compact florescent, or LED lighting.
l Manual: Allows manual adjustment of the red and blue range; this may be helpful in areas
where lighting does not change, such as inside a casino or mall. Move the Red and Blue sliders
to change color levels.
Using Window Blanking
Window Blanking is used to conceal user-defined privacy areas. A blanked area appears on the screen as a
solid gray window. The camera can handle up to eight blanked windows as long as the total blanked area
does not exceed 50 percent of the field of view.
Note: Window-blanking regions will not scale proportionally with changes in zoom. Set the zoom
level for the camera before defining window-blanking regions.
1. To enable Window Blanking, click On.
2. If you receive a Calibration Incomplete message, perform the following:
a. Click Calibration.
b. Click to center on an object to be covered and click OK.
c. Use your cursor to draw the region to be blanked and click OK.
d. Redraw the same region to be blanked and click OK.
You should now see the Calibration Completed message.
e. Click Done.
3. If necessary, maneuver the video preview to find the region you want to blank.
4. Drag the mouse across the video area that you want to blank. Select an existing blanking region to
delete or edit its size and position. You have the option of drawing up to eight window blanking
levels. Each window will be designated with a unique color.
5. Secure Blanking ensures maximum privacy by blanking the entire screen during positional moves.
