Image settings
The Image tab allows you to adjust image settings for each individual camera channel.
You may need to adjust the camera image depending on the location background in order to
get the best image quality.
The system has image settings for frequently encountered lighting conditions; Standard, Indoor,
Dim Light and Outdoor. You can also manually adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, hue
and saturation values.
You can modify the digital noise reduction (DNR) value to improve image quality. This function
removes image noise from a video signal, which can be more pronounced in low light
conditions.
Note: These options can also be modified from the image settings button on the live view
toolbar (see “Live view toolbar” on page 30).
To adjust display settings:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Camera Setup > Image.
2. Select the camera for which to adjust the video image settings (Standard, Indoor, Dim Light,
or Outdoor).
3. Adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, sharpness and digital noise reduction
values by dragging each scroll bar.
