About the OSD So - you’ve got one (or more!) of Swann’s range of PRO cameras, and you want to use some of the advanced features. Good call! It may seem a little tricky at first, but it’s pretty easy once you’re up and running. You can adjust almost any aspect of how the camera captures images. If you’ve got experience in photography or video-making, then many of the camera’s functions are things you’ll be familiar with. If you don’t know much about cameras and optics, don’t worry - there’s

Setup (Main) Menu Exposure: Controls how sensitive the camera will be to light. Press SELECT to enter the Exposure sub-menu (page 9) to access the detailed exposure controls. Note: As the cameras have fixed iris lenses, control over exposure is determined by the electronic shutter (that is, how long each frame is “exposed” for). Unlike manually altering an iris, this setting will have no effect on your depth of field (how much of your image is in focus). Special: Accesses the Special submenu

Setup Menu: Continued AWC --> SET: Allows you to create a custom white balance. You’ll need a sheet of thick white card/paper. Hold the paper in front of the camera so that it covers just over half the viewing area. If you are using a camera with a vari-focal lens (such as the PRO-680/681) adjust the focus so that the piece of paper’s edge is sharp and clear. Then, press SELECT. The camera will use the white card/paper to ascertain the color of the light, and will adjust itself accordingly.

Exposure Menu From the EXPOSURE menu, you can control how the camera reacts to lighting conditions. SHUTTER: This setting controls the behaviour of the electronic shutter. In a nutshell, it controls how long the camera will expose each frame. The longer that the electronic shutter is “open”, the more light it will let in. We recommend leaving this on AUTO (this will adjust the shutter speed automatically). Only on rare occasions will AUTO not prove the best option - however, these are so

DWDR Menu DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range) Menu You can change and set the way that the camera captures and represents different lighting conditions. LEVEL: The higher you set the LEVEL, the more dynamic your images can be. It works by changing how the camera interprets data from the CCD (the actual image sensor). If this setting is low, then bright areas will have a tendency to “white out” while shadows will do the opposite and “black out”. The higher you set the DWDR, then the more the

Special Menu ‘Special’ Menu CAM TITLE: You can give your camera a name, if you’d like to. There’s no requirement to do so, but it can make identifying which video feed you’re viewing on a multiple camera setup easy to determine at a glance. It’s also kind of nice to feel like the camera is your friend. MOTION: The camera is able to detect motion, and to highlight the areas where motion is detected. For more information, see page 12. PRIVACY: You can apply a privacy mask to any area of the sc

Motion Menu AREA SELECT: Choose which areas of the camera’s view that you’d like to configure. You can have up to four areas defined and active simultaneously, which can overlap or be quite discrete. AREA STATE: Whether the area has motion detection enabled or not. A disabled area retains its border definitions, size and placement, but will simply not register activities. Disabling an area will have no effect on other motion sensitive areas it happens to overlap. HEIGHT: How high the area

Image Adjustment Menu IMAGE ADJ.: The Image Adjustment menu allows you to control many aspects of the camera’s pictures. LENS SHAD.: If your lens is exposed to direct light, the LENS SHADE option can improve the quality of your images. When this is ON, the camera will automatically adjust the content of your images to remove as much as possible of the direct light. Note: The Lens Shading feature is a quick-fix, and won’t completely correct for direct light entering the lens. Of course, the

Image Adjustment Menu: Continued FONT COLOR: What colors the on-screen text will be. There are fifteen options, the default (white) is #3. The text will always have a black border. CONTRAST: Controls the dynamic range of the camera’s output. The higher the contrast, the greater the difference between the blackest black and the whitest white will be. Note that this setting will have no bearing on how the camera actually captures images in situations with harsh lighting. Also, setting the con

CRT Adjustment Menu PED LEVEL: Altering the PED level will slightly alter the output voltage of the composite video out, altering the way that a CRT monitor will build images by combining the red, green and blue pixels on screen. Higher values will give brighter images, particularly in darker areas of greyscale. This is an expert feature – we’d recommend not touching it unless you know exactly what you’re doing. COLOR GAIN: The amount of color in the video signal. As different televisions an

LCD Adjustment Menu GAMMA: Allows you to fine tune the gamma reproduction curve of your monitor. This is an expert feature, and intended for advanced users only. If you want to make adjustments to your images, we suggest using the Image Adjustment menu and the options located therein: the vast majority of outcomes achievable by using the GAMMA adjustment setting here can also be achieved, more easily and accurately, by tweaking the Brightness and Contrast settings on the ProcAmp.

Highlight Compensation Menu (HLC) LEVEL: Sets when highlights will be masked. The lower the value, the lower the required luminance value will be for the camera to mask it, and thus the more areas of the screen will be masked. MODE: You can choose when HLC will be active. ALL DAY will leave HLC on at all times, whereas selecting NIGHT ONLY will leave highlights during the day unaffected - this is a good option if you’re looking to mask, for example, car headlights or an inconveniently plac

Manual White Balance Menu COLOR TEMP: Color temperature (technically measured in degrees kelvin) is a measurement of the average wavelength of light being photographed. Artificial lights (particularly older style tugnsten bulbs) have a low color temperature, somewhere between 3000°K and 3500°K, and this appears to be an orange/yellow color. The INDOOR setting will compensate for this, allowing the camera to more accurately represent color, despite the yellow light. Sunlight, on a clear day,
