WIPE MODE There are 3 modes for the wiper: Normal, Intermittent, and 5 Wipes.
With Normal, the wiper will run while the button is depressed or
between presses if latching. If Intermittent Wipe is on, instead of the
camera continually wiping while activated, it will wipe approximately
twice every 60 seconds, until wipe is deactivated again. This function
would only be useful on systems with latching auxiliaries. The last
mode is 5 Wipes, which will perform 5 wipes every time the On
command is received.
In FV protocol, the wipe is stored as an auxiliary in the manual control
command, so if the wipe function is latched, the camera will receive a
Wipe On command every time the joystick is moved. So for this feature
a momentary wipe button would be preferable.

LOWLIGHT
Decreases the shutter speed of the unit when the light levels drop,
rather than increasing the gain. Motion blur on the video may occur if
the frame rate drops sufficiently low, which may not be ideal for a
camera which is continually moving. However if still, the images will
not have the grain associated with low light conditions. The gain at
which a change is made and the lowest frame rate can be controlled
via the MIN INT SPEED setting.

RANGE
The camera supports Wide Dynamic Range which manages to level out
the brightness in an image where there is a large range of luminance.
For example a camera inside where the video is half inside and half
outside, may normally expose for the outside part making the inside
very dark, or for the inside part making the outside very bright. Wide D
levels this out giving a more evenly exposed image.

its defined auto pan limits when the feature is activated. The speed
ranges from 1 to 255.

PROPORTION
AL PTZ
With Proportional PTZ enabled the camera will monitor the current
zoom position and scale the pan and tilt speeds accordingly, which
provides more accurate control whilst zoomed in.

PAN TIMEOUT This function stops the camera if continually panning for more than 60
seconds without user input. This function is typically used on systems
where STOP commands get lost due to noisy communication lines.
