Moonlight Mode
Custom Exposure Mode
Moonlight Mode:
Limits exposure time from 20ms to
500ms. This mode produces the best image quality
under very low light conditions with the least amount of
image noise. The trade-off is in favor of low noise at
the expense of high motion blur.
Custom Exposure Mod:
Enables manual setting of
exposure time between 1 and 80ms. Shorter exposure
times reduces motion blur for applications such as
monitoring fast moving objects and reading license
plates. The trade-off is an increased level of noise. It is
recommended that this mode be used only when there
is constant scene illumination sufficient to provide a
quality image.
Lighting Compensation
Frequency:
50hz, 60hz, Custom
Prevents flicker caused by the power line frequency of

60Hz for US and Japan. This parameter will have no
effect when the dominate light is sunlight. Or, user can
select frequency between 5Hz and 255Hz. It will be
enabled when user select “Custom”.
