This document describes the TURBO HD H0T Series Bullet Camera, a surveillance device designed for various monitoring applications. The camera features a high-performance CMOS sensor, ensuring clear image capture. It is equipped with an IR cut filter with auto switch, enabling effective day and night surveillance. The camera supports low illumination conditions, capable of capturing images at 0.01 Lux@(F1.2, AGC ON) and 0 Lux with IR, making it suitable for environments with minimal light.

Usage Features:

The camera offers an OSD (On-Screen Display) menu with configurable parameters, allowing users to customize settings directly. It supports auto white balance for accurate color rendition and internal synchronization for seamless operation within a surveillance system. The SMART IR mode intelligently adjusts infrared light intensity to prevent overexposure, ensuring balanced illumination in dark scenes. For models with PoC (Power over Coaxial) functionality, the camera can receive power directly through the video cable, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for a separate power supply. The camera also features 3-axis adjustment, providing flexibility in positioning and aiming for optimal surveillance angles.

The OSD menu, accessible via PTZ control or preset No. 95, allows for comprehensive configuration. Users can navigate the menu using direction arrows and confirm selections with "Iris +".

Video Format: The camera supports multiple video formats, including 5MP@20fps, 4MP@25fps, 4MP@30fps, 2MP@25fps, and 2MP@30fps, offering flexibility based on resolution and frame rate requirements.

Exposure Settings: Exposure parameters can be adjusted through EXPOSURE MODE and AGC (Automatic Gain Control).

EXPOSURE MODE: Options include GLOBAL, BLC (Backlight Compensation), and DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range).
- GLOBAL: This is the standard exposure mode, where exposure is determined by the overall image brightness.
- BLC (Backlight Compensation): Compensates for bright backgrounds to ensure the foreground object is clear. However, this may lead to over-exposure of strong light areas in the background.
- DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range): Provides clear images even in challenging backlight conditions by balancing brightness levels across very bright and very dark areas simultaneously, revealing details in both.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control): Optimizes image clarity in low-light conditions. The AGC level can be set to HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW, or disabled by selecting OFF. It's important to note that enabling AGC may amplify noise in the image.

Day/Night Settings: The camera offers COLOR, B&W (Black and White), and AUTO modes for day/night switching.

COLOR: The image remains in color during the day.
B&W (Black and White): The image is always black and white, and the IR LIGHT activates in low-light conditions. Users can turn the IR LIGHT on/off and adjust the SMART IR value.
AUTO: The camera automatically switches between color and B&W modes based on ambient brightness. In this mode, users can also control the IR LIGHT and SMART IR settings.
- IR LIGHT: Can be turned on/off to suit different lighting requirements.
- SMART IR: Adjusts IR light intensity to prevent overexposure, with values from 1 to 3, where higher values produce more pronounced effects.
- D→N Threshold (Day to Night Threshold): Controls the sensitivity of switching from day to night mode, with values from 1 to 9. A higher value increases sensitivity.
- N→D Threshold (Night to Day Threshold): Controls the sensitivity of switching from night to day mode, with values from 1 to 9. A higher value increases sensitivity.

Video Settings: This submenu allows adjustment of various image parameters:

WHITE BALANCE: Adjusts color temperature to remove unrealistic color casts. Modes include AUTO and MANUAL.
- AUTO: Automatically adjusts white balance based on the scene's color temperature.
- MANUAL: Allows users to set R GAIN/B GAIN values (1 to 255) to fine-tune red/blue color shades.
BRIGHTNESS: Adjusts image brightness (1 to 9) to darken or brighten the image. Higher values result in a brighter image.
CONTRAST: Enhances the difference in color and light between image parts (1 to 9).
SHARPNESS: Determines the level of detail an imaging system can reproduce (1 to 9).
SATURATION: Adjusts color saturation (1 to 9).
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction): Reduces noise, especially in moving images under low-light conditions, resulting in sharper and more accurate images (1 to 9).
MIRROR: Offers options to flip the image: OFF (disabled), H (180° horizontally), V (180° vertically), and HV (180° both horizontally and vertically).

Installation:

The manual provides detailed instructions for both Type I and Type II cameras, covering ceiling/wall mounting with and without a junction box. Key steps include using a drill template for precise hole placement, securing the bracket with screws (self-tapping for wooden surfaces, expansion bolts for cement), routing cables, and connecting power and video cables. After installation, users should power on the camera and adjust its 3-axis position (pan, tilt, rotation) to achieve the optimum surveillance angle.

Maintenance Features:

FACTORY DEFAULT: Allows users to reset all settings to their original factory defaults.
EXIT: Exits the menu without saving any changes.
SAVE & EXIT: Saves all current settings and exits the menu.

Safety and Handling:

The manual emphasizes strict adherence to electrical safety regulations. It specifies that input voltage should meet SELV and Limited Power Source standards (12 VDC). Users are warned against connecting multiple devices to a single power adapter to prevent overheating or fire hazards. Proper mounting is crucial, ensuring the device is firmly fixed. In case of smoke, odor, or noise, the device should be immediately powered off and unplugged, and professional service contacted. Users are advised not to disassemble the camera themselves.

For optimal performance and longevity, the camera should not be dropped or subjected to physical shock. It should be kept away from extreme temperatures (-40°C to 60°C), dusty or damp locations, and high electromagnetic radiation. Sensor modules should not be touched with fingers. For cleaning, a clean cloth with a small amount of ethanol should be used. The camera should not be aimed at the sun or other bright light sources, and laser beams should be avoided on the sensor surface to prevent damage. Good ventilation is required to prevent heat accumulation. During delivery, the camera should be packed in its original or similar packaging. For non-waterproof devices, the camera should be kept away from liquids.
