Feature 

Description 

 

 

Auto 

Auto detects bright backlight, glare or high contrast 
lighting and automatically selects the WDR level. 

Note: WDR enabled will decrease the FPS of 5MP 
camera.

 

HDR 

Manually adjusts the intensity of backlight 
compensation. 

Note: WDR enabled will decrease the FPS of 5MP 
camera.

 

Turn off in low light 

Disables WDR backlight compensation when the light 
levels drop for better nighttime image quality. 

Turn off in B/W 

Disables WDR backlight compensation when the 
camera is in night mode for better nighttime image 
quality. 

DWDR 

Digital WDR (DWDR) is to enhance dark areas by 
adjusting the gamma value. This will not impact FPS of 
5MP camera. 

 

LDR 

Will not combine long and short exposures into one 
frame, resulting in better low light performance. 

Auto Exposure 

Automatically adjusts illumination and exposure values. 

Stream Profiles: 

Balance Mode 

-Slow Shutter 

Quality Mode 

 

Balanced Mode: 

Limits exposure time from 0.1ms to 

66ms. The camera will keep highest FPS when 

Slow 

Shutter

 is unchecked. 

Quality Mode: 

Limits exposure time from 0.1ms to 

200ms. 

 

This mode is a good compromise between 

reducing noise and motion blur under most lighting 
conditions, but with an increase in motion blur under 
low light conditions.
