The v-cam 500 M10772 camera uses Sony ExView HAD CCD II image sensor and Sony Effio-E DSP. It provides high resolution video with natural colors and high S/N ratio. The Sony ExView HAD CCD II image sensor is a further improvement of the technological solutions used in Sony ExView HAD CCD. The new features include larger number of pixels and a greater sensitivity in both visible light and infrared spectrum ( nm, used in cameras with mechanical ICR filters). The application of Sony Effio-E digital signal processor (DSP) extends the possibilities of image processing and in combination with the advanced image sensor used in the camera ensures horizontal video resolution of 650 TVL (color) or 700 TVL (B&W). Advanced video processing features include motion detection zones, privacy masks, digital noise reduction etc. High quality auto iris lens regulates the amount of light depending on actual environmental conditions. It has a huge effect on picture quality and is particularly important in systems operating in variable lighting conditions. Day/Night settings In insufficient lighting, the camera switches into B&W mode, which increases its sensitivity. The switching threshold and delay time can be set in the OSD menu. Due to fixed IR filter, the camera is not designed to work with IR illuminators. High resolution of the video allows for enlargement of any part of the image without significant loss of quality; additionally, 2D - NR (noise reduction) minimizes blur effects, saving sharp edges of objects. 2

3 Good quality of an enlarged part of the image Image quality in various lighting is improved by ATR function (Adaptive Tone Reproduction) which lowers the contrast between the darkest and brightest areas and allows to see details in the both parts of the image. The influence of ATR function (on the right) on readability of the image (A - in the brightest area, B - in the darkest area) The camera uses OSD menu. Adjustment of all parameters of the camera image is performed by using buttons placed under the dome (it requires unscrewing of 3 screws, with Allen wrench). Due to multiple functions and settings, the very practical feature is setup memory, allowing to save several options, even before the final calibration at the camera site. The camera menu is quite extensive but user-friendly, with easy and intuitive navigation. 3

4 The OSD menu contains the following settings: ES and AGC control, white balance, day/night function (thresholds, delay), video (mirror image, brightness, contrast, sharpness, color saturation), digital noise reduction, BLC, adaptive tone reproduction (ATR), privacy masks (8 zones), motion detection (4 zones), camera name. 4

ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) - continuously adjusts camera color balance in accordance with any change in color temperature, allowing the camera to capture color as seen by the human eye. AWB (Auto White Balance) - white color is automatically detected and used for camera color balance. It is suitable for environments with small changes of color temperature, the other ones require to use the above listed ATW function. Anti-CR (Anti-Color Rolling) - reduction of rotating color changes caused by flickering sources of light (e.g. fluorescent lamps), which cannot be eliminated by external synchronization with the power network (usually due to powering the camera with DC power source). AWC (Auto White Color/Circuit) - adjustment of the white balance to a "standard" white area/object. The calibration should be repeated when the lighting conditions have been changed. AGC (Automatic Gain Control) - maintains a constant output level, increasing the signal to noise ratio. The picture is more clear but less natural. Without this function (AGC OFF) the image is generally more natural, but more grainy. EE/AI (Electronic Shutter) - in EE mode it adapts the exposure time to the light intensity. In AI mode, the exposure time is constant (1/60 or 1/50 s) and level of incident light intensity is regulated by auto-iris lens (Auto Iris). BLC (Backlight Compensation) - automatically adjusts the level of bright light in order to provide more detail in dark areas. A good example is the image a human's face in the background of the sun shining from behind. HLC (High Light Compensation) - masks extremely bright areas such as car headlights. Privacy zones - masking areas that should be not visible. AES (Auto Electronic Shutter) - used to adjust the the exposure time to the light intensity (mostly with lens without AI function). DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) - circuit and/or algorithm which reduces noise, thus providing a higher signal to noise ratio. 3D DNR compares subsequent image frames. If, as a result of this analysis, it finds a difference between the images resulting from noise, it removes the very small grains, replacing them with average values. 7
