AI SSA (Scene Self Adaption)- based on deep learning algorithm that can intelligently identify multiple scenes and adjust to their optimal images. If mode is turned on, you won't be able to make adjustments in Exposure, Backlight, Defog, and AFSA.

Image- common functions like Brightness, Contrast Saturation, Sharpness, and Gamma.

Flip- Able to flip the image 0-90 degrees.
Mirror- Flips the image to the opposite side.
EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization)- system reduces image shake and controls image stability by                         manipulating the image electronically.

Exposure- exposure in the IP camera is a setting that affects how bright or dark the image is. It depends on 2 factors, shutter speed and iris opening.

Anti-flicker- Normally set to 60Hz. If needing to set to the shutter speed. change to Outdoor-> Mode-> Manual and you will be able to adjust shutter speed.

Exposure Compensation- Helps override automatic exposure adjustments your camera makes in situations with uneven light distribution, filters, non-standard processing, or underexposure or overexposure.

3D NR- Turn mode on or off.
3DNR is smarter than 2DNR because it considers more information to reduce noise and make things clearer, but sometimes it can make moving things a bit blurry.

3D NR Level- Adjust the levels.
2D NR Level- Adjust the levels. 

Backlight-

Backlight compensation (BLC)- is a feature that empowers you to decide which parts of your scene receive the right exposure, rather than relying on the camera's automatic selection. When you activate BLC, you're instructing your camera to intentionally brighten the brighter areas of your picture to achieve proper exposure for the darker portions.

Highlight compensation (HLC)- is a feature that enables the camera to counteract the excessive brightness in certain parts of the image, preserving the finer details that might otherwise be lost due to extreme brightness. The camera considers intensely bright spots, like spotlights, and adapts the exposure to accommodate them. With HLC, the camera strives to achieve accurate exposure for the entire scene while toning down the intensity of the highlights.

Wide dynamic range (WDR)- employs two image sensors to record a scene with two distinct exposures. This approach results in WDR sensors generating images where both the darker and brighter areas are adequately exposed, enhancing detail across a broader spectrum between shadows and highlights.

Supersampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA)- aims to lessen the jagged edges that occur when rendering curved or rounded images using square pixels. It employs a resource-intensive technique that cleverly addresses this issue.

White Balance (WB)- in a CCTV camera adjusts colors for accurate representation under different lighting. It ensures white appears white, counteracting color shifts caused by lighting. It's crucial for natural and consistent image colors.

  1. Natural: This mode aims to capture colors as they appear in natural daylight, providing a neutral and balanced color representation.

  2. Street Lamp: This mode is designed for situations where the primary light source is street lighting or other types of sodium vapor lamps. It adjusts the colors to counteract the strong yellow-orange cast often associated with such lighting.

  3. Outdoor: This mode is optimized for outdoor daylight conditions. It enhances color accuracy under sunlight, reducing any potential color shifts caused by intense outdoor lighting.

Each of these settings tweaks the camera's color sensitivity to match the specific lighting conditions, ensuring that the captured images maintain a more accurate and natural color representation without requiring manual adjustments.
 

  1. Manual: Allows manual adjustment of white balance based on the specific lighting conditions. Users can choose a color temperature value for precise customization.

  2. Custom Mode: Permits users to set a custom white balance by referencing a neutral white object in the scene. This ensures accurate colors under unique lighting not covered by other presets.

  1. Color: Captures and displays images in full color during both daytime and well-lit conditions.

  2. Black and White: Switches to black and white mode under low light conditions for better visibility, as monochrome is often more sensitive to low light.

  3. Auto: Automatically switches between color and black and white modes based on lighting conditions.

  4. Sensitivity: Adjusts the threshold at which the camera switches between color and black and white. Higher sensitivity means the camera may switch to black and white mode even in slightly dimmer lighting.

  5. Delay: Sets a time delay before the camera transitions between color and black and white modes after detecting changes in lighting conditions.

Illuminator

Fill Light: Provides additional light to enhance visibility in dimly lit areas, helping to illuminate details that might otherwise be obscured.

  1. Smart Illumination: Utilizes intelligent algorithms to adjust the illuminator's output based on the scene's lighting conditions, optimizing visibility while conserving power.

  2. Warm Light Mode: Applies a warmer light tone, which can enhance certain color details and reduce the harshness of standard white light, often used for a more pleasant viewing experience.

  3. IR Mode: Activates the camera's infrared (IR) illuminators, allowing the camera to capture images in complete darkness using infrared light. This mode is common for nighttime surveillance.

  1. Illuminator Delay: This setting introduces a delay before the illuminator turns on or off after detecting changes in lighting conditions. It can prevent rapid toggling in situations where lighting fluctuates temporarily.

  2. Brightness Upper: This controls the upper limit of the illuminator's brightness output. It ensures that the illuminator doesn't become too intense, which can lead to overexposed or washed-out images.

Defog- is a camera feature that enhances image quality by reducing the impact of fog, haze, or atmospheric interference, improving visibility in challenging weather conditions.

  1. Auto: Automatically adjusts the defogging effect based on the camera's analysis of the image.

  2. Manual: Lets you control the defogging effect yourself.

    • Intensity: In the manual mode, you can adjust the strength or level of the defog effect. This allows you to fine-tune how much the image clarity is improved, depending on the severity of atmospheric interference.

AFSA
AFSA (Anti-flicker Self-adaption)- a function that automatically eliminates flickering in certain lighting conditions. This feature is designed to improve the quality of captured images by reducing or eliminating the unwanted flickering effect caused by discrepancies between the camera's frame rate and the frequency of artificial lighting (such as fluorescent lights or LEDs).
