Step 6 Set the Exposure Compensation setting. Move the slider bar to the right to brighten the video, or move
it to the left to darken the video. The exposure compensation range is -100 to 100; the default setting is
0 (zero).
Step 7 Set the Max Exposure Time and Night Max Exposure Time.
• Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is
exposed during daytime conditions. Decreasing Max Exposure Time reduces the blur caused by fast
moving objects as the light dims, but it also reduces the light sensitivity of the camera. The exposure
range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.
• Night Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image
is exposed during dim light, such as nighttime conditions. Increase this time to increase the light
sensitivity of the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 120 msec.
Step 8 Set the Day Max Exposure Time and Night Exposure Time.
• Day Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image
is exposed when the camera is in Day
(Color) mode. Decreasing Max Exposure Time reduces the
blur caused by fast moving objects as the light dims, but it also reduces the light sensitivity of the
camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.
• Night Max Exposure Time: This setting controls the maximum time in milliseconds that an image
is exposed when the camera is in Night
(black-white) mode. Increase this time to increase the light
sensitivity of the camera. The exposure range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 120 msec.
Step 9 Set the Day Exposure Time and the Night Exposure Time.
• Day Exposure Time: This setting is the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed
during daytime conditions. Decreasing exposure time decreases the light sensitivity of the scene and
reduces the blur caused by fast moving objects; however, it increases the amount of noise in the
scene. The day maximum exposure time range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 33.3 msec.
• Night Exposure Time: This setting is the maximum time in milliseconds that an image is exposed
during nighttime (black-white) conditions. Increase the exposure time to increase light sensitivity
of the scene. The night maximum exposure time range is 1 to 500 msec; the default setting is 120
msec.
Step 10 Set the Day Night mode to Auto or Manual.
• Auto: This setting automatically controls the IR cut filter determined by the Transition Level and
the Transition Detect settings.
• Manual: This setting sets the IR filter to a fixed position. The filter can be set to the Day (color)
position or the Night (black-white) position.
