Image settings
The Image tab allows you to adjust image settings for each individual camera channel.
You may need to adjust the camera image depending on the location background in
order to get the best image quality.
The system has image settings for frequently encountered lighting conditions;
Standard, Indoor, Dim Ligh, and Outdoor. You can also manually adjust the brightness,
contrast, saturation, hue, sharpness, and digital noise reduction values.
You can modify the digital noise reduction (DNR) value to improve image quality. This
function removes image noise from a video signal, which can be more pronounced in
low light conditions.
For IP cameras, more image settings may be available depending on the camera
model.

view toolbar (see “Live view toolbar” on page 28).
