Point
calibration for
every scene
change.
DEFAULT Optimizes camera for general purpose setup.
HIGH Optimizes camera for high-contrast scenes.
LOW Optimizes camera for low-contrast scenes.
ACTION FIELDS
CALIBRATE – Initiates calibration.
MISC – Displays Miscellaneous menu.
ALARMS – Displays Alarms page with BIT test results for the IR sensor.

STATUS INDICATORS
FOV 0.36°, 1.09°,
5.43°, 26.67°
Current optical horizontal FOV in degrees.
FOCAL LENGTH 27, 135, 675,
2024
Current focal length in mm. VNFOV has a 2x E-Zoom applied.
FOCUS 3 m to Infinity Focus position, expressed as an estimated distance to the object that sensor is
focused on. Units = meters.
Note: This is a very crude calibration and therefore should not be taken as a
target distance.
SENSITIVITY AUTO System has been enabled for automatic control of image brightness.
MAN Current value for manual sensitivity. Operators can increment the sensitivity to
control image brightness from the Hand Controller.
LEVEL AUTO System has been enabled for automatic level control.
MAN Current value for manual level. Operators can increment the level to control
image contrast from the Hand Controller.
TEMP STATUS COOLING Sensor disabled because internal operational temperature is above or below
limits.
OK Sensor at operational temperature.
POLARITY BLACK HOT Hottest objects in video appear black, coolest appear white.
WHITE HOT Hottest objects in video appear white, coolest appear black.
