Exposure / White Balance
The section Exposure / White Balance allows the user to configure Exposure
(shutter, iris and gain control) and White Balance settings. In most cases, the default settings are
sufficient and no adjustment is needed. Some options will only appear under certain Exposure / White
balance modes. Each mode is described in detail below.
IR Exposure Compensation – Enabled
IR Exposure Compensation is available on all cameras with IR lLEDs. This feature automatically balances
the IR exposure to eliminate over-exposed images cause by too much IR on the subject. When enabled,
the AE reference target is automatically adjusted to control the sensor’s shutter speed and gain to
compensate IR effect.
Exposure Mode - Auto
In Auto Exposure Mode, you control the image brightness by configuring the AE Reference Target and
Slowest Auto Shutter.
AE Reference Target (Auto Exposure reference target) can be considered as the “Target Brightness on
Sensor”. The camera will use several internal parameters to achieve best quality with reference to this.
The higher this value, the brighter the overall scene, however, there may be more noise at night in such
case. The range of AE Reference Target is 1~255.
The camera will automatically control shutter speed, auto iris (if available) and signal gain to achieve the
target level set by the user. If the auto iris does not exist or is already opened to a maximum size, and the
image is still darker than the user defined target, it will further slow down the shutter speed within the
allowed range (set by user under Slowest Auto Shutter Speed) and increase the signal gain.
