Noise Reduction (DNR) Parameters:
- 2D NR: Reduces image noise, default Auto.
- 3D NR: Reduces image noise, default Auto.
- Max Strength: Valid in auto noise filter mode, default 50. When 0, noise filter is disabled.
- Fixed Strength: Valid in manual noise filter mode, default 50.
Enhance Image Parameters:
- WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): Used to display foreground and background at the same time with large brightness difference, default 50. Higher values improve image effect.

Maintenance Features
The manual provides guidelines for proper device maintenance and troubleshooting:
General Precautions:
- Electrical Safety: Adhere to local electrical safety standards and use LPS-marked power adapters. Ground the device in places with unsteady voltage or frequent lightning to prevent damage.
- Environmental Protection: Prevent water or liquids from entering the device. Avoid placing the camera near high-intensity radiation sources (sun, laser, arc welder) or high heat sources, as this can affect accuracy and permanently damage the detector.
- Installation: During outdoor installation, adjust the sun shade to prevent direct sunlight on the lens. Avoid heavy loads, intensive shakes, and soaking during transport and storage.
- Static Sensitivity: The device is static sensitive; proper ESD protection and grounding are essential during installation and uninstallation.
- Physical Protection: Protect the device from falls and intensive strikes. Keep it away from magnetic fields and avoid installing it on shaking surfaces.
Cleaning:
- Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning the device body. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild detergent on a dry cloth, then wipe dry.
- For the front window (precision optics), use a clean, soft cloth moistened with water. For further cleaning, use isopropyl alcohol or detergent. Improper cleaning can cause damage.
Troubleshooting:
- Login Issues:
- If the IP address in the browser is incorrect, verify the IP address and ensure the certificate is installed.
- If the web management system cannot be accessed, check network connectivity (ping command) and ensure the PC is directly connected to the camera.
- If the IP address is used by another device, change the IP address.
- If the IP addresses of the PC and IP camera are on different networks, check network settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway).
- After an IP camera upgrade, if the web management system cannot be accessed, clear the browser cache (Tools > Internet Options > Delete Browsing History).
- PTZ or Dome Control Issues: If PTZ or dome cannot be controlled, check the protocol, baud rate, and address settings. If the signal cable is not properly connected, check signal strength and cable connection.
- Upgrade Issues: If the IP camera cannot be upgraded, confirm network connectivity, check network settings, and ensure the correct upgrade package is used.
Special Announcement:
- The manufacturer is not responsible for device damage caused by users' non-conformance to installation requirements.
- The manufacturer reserves the right to update the manual and device information without prior notice. Users should refer to the latest version.
