Watchfire Exposure Settings

MOBOTIX M25 Watchfire Exposure Settings

Attribute		Explanation
Automatic Contrast		Automatic Contrast: Off: no contrast enhancement. Standard: applies uniform contrast enhancement. Extended: applies non-uniform contrast enhancement. Aggressive: increases image contrast even more but may result in unnatural images. Factory default: Standard
Brightness		Brightness: Factory default: 0
Backlight Correction		Backlight Correction: Factory default: 4
Exposure Control		Exposure Mode: Full Image Area: uses the full image to optimize exposure according to exposure windows, ideal for full image recording. Visible Image Area: optimizes exposure according to the visible image section, ideal for vPTZ. Factory default: Full Image Area
		Exposure Windows: Select from exposure windows relative to a full image. Custom Windows allows for arbitrary exposure windows. Factory default: Quarter
	0,120,50,1026,425,in	Custom Windows: Format: lens, window[, in/out] lens: 0=right, 1=left. window: can be defined as a rectangle as well as a polygon. For a detailed description of window definitions, please refer to the help page. Note: All user-defined coordinates are relative to the entire sensor area. The origin (0,0) corresponds to the lower left corner, (1279,959) to the upper right corner (if the image is mirrored/rotated the coordinate system changes accordingly).
		Exposure Weighting: Weight between exposure windows and the rest of the image for exposure control. Factory default: 100%
		White Balance Weighting: Weight between exposure windows and the rest of the image for white balance. Factory default: Total
		Show Windows: Show exposure windows as green and red boxes. If you select Off, the windows will only be displayed when you explictly change them.
Target Brightness		Average Brightness: Average brightness inside exposure window. Affects exposure time. Factory default: 40%
		Minimum Average Brightness: Compensate shorter exposure time by software amplification (could increase image noise). Factory default: 20%
Night Improvement		Enable Night Improvement: Software amplification for dark images. Could increase image noise.
Sensor Gain Range		Sensor Gain Range: Select the range for the hardware amplification. Higher amplification increases image brightness in dark scenes while lower amplification reduces image noise. Factory default: Full Note: To gain the maximum reduction of image noise, also disable the Night Improvement.
Exposure Time		Exposure Program: Select an exposure program. 0: Standard program. Negative: Tends to reduce exposure time; could increase image noise. Positive: Increases exposure time to reduce image noise; does not affect exposure in very bright scenes.
		Max. Exposure Time: Maximum exposure time in seconds (e.g. 1/90s = 11ms).
		Min. Exposure Time: Minimum exposure time in seconds (e.g. 1/90s = 11ms).
Frequency of Power Supply		Line Frequency: Select the frequency of your power supply to avoid interferences by artificial light. Use 60 Hz for USA and Canada, 50 Hz for Europe and Asia and No artificial light if the camera is exposed to daylight. Factory default: 50 Hz
