Camera Control

(1) [Digital Zoom]

Set digital zoom to [Disable] or [Enable].

The higher the digital zoom ratio, the lower the image

quality becomes.

(2) [Image Stabilizer]

Select [Disable], [On1] or [On2] for image stabilizer.

Image stabilizer has the effect of correcting blurry

images. Try [On2] if the image is still blurry after

selecting [On1].

If you have selected [On1] or [On2] as the image

stabilizer setting, the viewing angle will be smaller and

the image more coarse than when [Disable] is

selected. This is not a malfunction.

(3) [AGC Limit]

Select one of 5 levels from 1 to 5 to automatically set

the upper gain limit. The greater the value, the higher

the sensitivity becomes. If you do not want to use the

automatic gain adjustment, select [OFF]. Setting the

[AGC Limit] allows you to record dark scenes without

gain adjustment.

Day/Night

(1) [Mode]

Set Day/Night mode to [Manual] or [Auto].

It is also possible to switch between [Day Mode] and

[Night Mode] using Admin Viewer Night Mode

function (p. 139).

If you have selected [Auto], set [Switching Brightness]

and [Response (sec.)] according to the environment

in which the camera is installed as well as the desired

switching conditions.

(2) [Switching Brightness]

Set the brightness at which [Day Mode] and [Night

Mode] will be switched. Select [Darker], [Slightly

Darker], [Standard], [Slightly Brighter] or [Brighter].

Select [Darker] if you want to capture video in color as

much as possible.

Select [Brighter] to reduce noise. Note that this mode

switches to black & white sooner.

(3) [Response (sec.)]

Set the time in seconds needed for judgment on

switching between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode].

Select [60], [30], [20], [10] or [5].

The mode will switch between [Day Mode] and [Night

Mode] if brightness remains above or below the level

set in (2) for the number of seconds specified.

Select [30] or [60] if brightness changes frequently,

such as when a light source passes in front of the

camera. Select [5] or [10] if change in brightness is

minimal.

operation test to check the effectiveness of the setting

beforehand.

Admin Viewer to [Auto], [Auto (Flickerless)] or [Auto (Shutter-
priority AE)] (p. 138).

• To use with infrared illumination, set [Day/Night] to [Manual].

When Day/Night Mode is set to [Manual], in additional to the

Day/Night function of the Admin Viewer (p. 139), it is also
possible to switch Day/Night Mode via settings in [Setting

Page] > [Event] > [External Device Input] (p. 63) or [Event] >

[Timer] (p. 64).

• When [Day Mode] and [Night Mode] are switched, the image

may not focus correctly depending on the brightness.

• If [Day/Night] is set to [Auto], the infrared cutoff filter may

move several times while the mode is switching between
[Day Mode] and [Night Mode]. Pan, tilt, zoom and manual

focus will not work during this period.
