Configuring HDXA, HDXJ, and HDXF Camera Settings
Note Wide dynamic range mode is disabled when the auto slow shutter
limit is reached. It cannot be enabled while auto slow shutter is on.
Backlight Compensation
Backlight compensation (BLC) corrects for strong background lighting by
enhancing subjects in the foreground, providing detail that would normally be
silhouetted.
You can turn backlight compensation on or off by using special preset 93 when
the dome is configured for MAXPRO-mode, VCL, Pelco P, or Pelco D protocol.
Note In most applications, wide dynamic range may be a better option than
backlight compensation.
To enable/disable backlight compensation:
Setting NightShot (True Day/Night)
This feature is only available with HDXJ and HDXF cameras. It is not available with

When NightShot, or True Day/Night (TDN), is enabled, all available visible and IR
light is allowed to reach the image sensor and be recorded, producing a black
and white picture at the lowest possible light level.
