Configure Camera Settings

Adjust camera settings to capture optimal footage in the installation environment. Changes appear in Live View immediately, so check results while adjusting image quality, white balance, sensitivity, and backlight compensation. Available AI features vary by mounting type (ceiling or wall).

Adjust camera settings in the following situations.

  • To improve image quality to match scene brightness and color.

  • To minimize noise in low-light environments while maintaining motion detection.

  • When strong backlight from a window or doorway makes the subject look dark

  • To reduce flicker from fluorescent or LED lighting.

  • When supplemental lighting is available or color video is required, and IR switching at night must stay off

  • When ambient light makes a face appear too dark or too bright, face authentication may be difficult

  • To optimize the camera and AI features for the installation location.

  • When condensation or frost forms on the lens due to cold or humidity, and the image looks blurry

Camera settings​

  1. Click Settings in the upper-left of the screen.

  2. Click Basic → Camera on the left sidebar.

Info

Each option change appears in Live View in real time and saves automatically.

Adjust image quality​

Adjust image quality to match the shooting environment. Adjust each slider in the Preset section to reflect changes in the preview in real time. Set values between 1 and 100.

  • Saturation: Adjust color saturation. (Default: 26)

  • Sharpness: Adjust image sharpness. (Default: 55)

  • Brightness: Adjust overall image brightness. (Default: 50)

  • Contrast: Adjust contrast between bright and dark areas. (Default: 50)

Info

When moving a slider, each setting updates the preview immediately and saves automatically.

White balance settings​

Set white balance so the camera accurately reproduces the scene's lighting color. In the White Balance section, enable or disable the Auto option.

  • On(default): The camera automatically detects and adjusts the color temperature.

  • Off: Set the white balance by manually adjusting the Red and Blue values.

Sensitivity settings (Time Filter)​

Adjust the time filter to balance sensor noise reduction and fast motion detection. Adjust the Time Filter slider in the Sensitivity section to set noise filtering strength.

  • Low (1~30): Weak noise filtering helps detect fast-moving objects, but noise may increase in low-light environments.

  • Medium (31~70): Balanced filtering suitable for typical shooting environments.

  • High (71~100): Strong noise filtering reduces noise in low-light conditions but may hinder detection of fast-moving objects.

Info

The default value of Time Filter is 1.

Backlight settings​

Enable WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) to allow the camera to capture bright and dark areas simultaneously in backlit scenes. In the Backlight Setting section, enable the WDR option to activate backlight compensation. (Default: Off)

Info

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) mode allows the camera to adjust exposure automatically so both bright and dark areas are represented in backlit scenes. Enabling WDR prevents overexposure of bright areas and improves detail in dark areas. Useful when shooting in heavily backlit environments.

Anti-flicker settings​

To reduce screen flicker caused by a mismatch between lighting and frequency, set the Anti-Flicker option in the Video section.

  • Off (default): Disable anti-flicker.

  • 50HZ: 50 Hz fluorescent/LED environment

  • 60HZ: 60 Hz fluorescent/LED environment

Info

Select the option that matches the lighting frequency in the scene. Incorrect settings may cause flicker or banding on the image.

IR auto switch setting​

Set whether the camera automatically switches to IR (night) mode when ambient light dims. Disable auto switching in areas with supplemental lighting or where color video is required. In the Video section, enable or disable the Auto IR Switch option.

  • On (default): Automatically switches to IR mode when ambient light dims, based on the illuminance sensor and image brightness.

  • Off: Does not switch to IR mode in low-light environments.

Info

Firmware version 1.1.0 or later supports the Auto IR Switch option.

Adaptive AE mode setting​

Near a window or where sunlight changes a lot, Facial Authentication may be difficult. Use Adaptive AE mode in this case. The camera learns where faces often appear and adjusts exposure so faces look properly lit. In the Video section, enable or disable the Adaptive AE mode option.

  • On (default): Adjusts exposure based on face area brightness.

    • Keeps face area brightness consistent under strong ambient light or changing sunlight.

    • Image brightness stays stable regardless of clothing colors, whether people pass by or stay.

    • When lighting turns on or off, readjusts exposure to the new brightness.

  • Off: Does not use Adaptive AE mode correction. When enabled again, correction runs automatically.

Info

  • Adaptive AE mode operates based on the AI event face area and person detection range. To set the area, see Manage AI Events.

  • Firmware version 1.1.0 or later supports the Adaptive AE mode option.

Mounting type settings​

Set Mounting Type according to the camera's installation location. Supported AI features depend on the mounting type.

  • Ceiling (default): Select for ceiling installation. All AI features are available.

  • Wall: Select for wall installation. Only Facial Authentication AI is available; object tracking is not supported.

Info

  • When changing from ceiling to wall, a confirmation popup appears stating that only Facial Authentication is available and object-tracking AI is unavailable. Review the message before proceeding.

  • When changing from wall to ceiling, the change applies immediately and all AI features activate automatically.

Camera heater setting​

Low temperatures or high humidity can fog or frost the lens, blur the image, and reduce AI recognition accuracy. Enable the camera heater to keep the lens clear. In the Heater section, enable or disable the Heater option.

  • On: The heater operates. The heater turns off automatically after 30 minutes.

  • Off (default): Stops the heater.

Info

  • To prevent overheating and unnecessary power consumption, the heater runs for 30 minutes and then turns off automatically, and the option changes to Off. If the lens still has fog or frost after the heater turns off, enable the option again.

  • Support for the Heater option is included in firmware 1.1.0 or later.

Reset camera settings​

To restore all camera settings to factory defaults, click Restore to default in the Reset section.
