At night or under low illumination scenes, the camera switch from color mode to B/W
mode automatically, which can improve low-light performance effectively.

Day: the camera stays at day mode.

Night: the camera stays at night mode.
Auto: the camera switches between the day mode and the night mode according to the illumination
automatically. The sensitivity ranges from 0~7, the higher the value is, the easier the mode switches. The filtering
time refers to the interval time between the day/night switch. You can set it from 5s to 120s.
Schedule: Set the start time and the end time to define the duration for day/night mode.
Triggered by alarm input: The switch is triggered by alarm input, and you can set the triggered mode to day or
night.
Low light or completely dark situation

What should we do ?
Smart IR

Smart IR function gives user an option to adjust the power of the IR LED, thus providing
a clear image that is not overexposed or too dark.

Manual mode: Configure the distance by

Smart IR off Smart IR on control the current intensity of the led
Auto mode: Auto-adjust the current intensity

AGC
• AGC(Auto Gain Control) amplify the signal from CCD to make it brighter during night time. This
amplification is called gain. The camera can auto adjust the gain control according to signal level.
• Advance: increase dynamic range;
• Disadvantage: amplify noise as well.

AGC Off AGC On

DNR
• Through DNR function we can reduce the noise to get a better quality image during night.
• Hikvision cameras adopt 3D digital noise reduction to provide images with less noise in low-light
surveillance scenes compared to conventional cameras. 3D DNR can be used to enhance image quality
and save bandwidth.

BLC (Back Light Compensation)

• BLC: When you monitor objects against strong backlight, the objects are usually too dark. BLC compensates
light to the object in the front to make it clear.
• It enables objects in the foreground to be seen clearly, although the background areas will be changed.

OFF, Up, Down, Left, Right,

Center and customize are
selectable.
WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
• WDR: WDR cameras often incorporate an image sensor that takes different exposures of a scene (e.g., a
short exposure for very bright areas and long exposure for dark areas) and combine them into one image,
enabling objects in both bright and dark areas of a scene to be visible.

120dB WDR

Enable WDR may reduce the

image quality (image looks grey)
in normal situation.

• Compensate the strong light in the picture, so that the surrounding area wouldn’t be over-exposed
and still could be seen.
• Widely used in traffic monitoring, where license plates must be recognized.

Fast Moving Objects
• Use high frame rate camera in the condition that the bitrate is enough, such as 4XXXFWD
camera.
• Decrease the exposure time to reduce the tailing.
• For less than or equal to 70km/h vehicle speed, we recommend 1/200s or 1/250s exposure time.
• To see the vehicle clearly at night, lower the contrast and set the 3D DNR to 20~30 or even
lower.
• Disable WDR to reduce tailing.

Exposure time
• Exposure time usually be set between 1/50 – 1/100,000 second.
• Long exposure time is suitable for dark scene, but moving objects may have trailing
problem.
• Short exposure time is suitable for dynamic scene, while the image may be dark.

 Rotate mode
• Rotate
• To make a complete use of the 16:9 aspect ratio, you can enable the rotate function when you
use the camera in a narrow view scene.
• When installing, turn the camera to the 90 degrees or rotate the 3-axis lens to 90 degrees, and
set the rotate mode as on, you will get a normal view of the scene with 9:16 aspect ratio.

Bandwidth and Storage Calculations

It depends on the following factors:

• Video compression type: H.264, MPEG-4, Motion JPEG, H.264+, H.265
• Scene: Image complexity (e.g., gray wall or a forest), lighting conditions and
amount of motion (e.g., office environment or crowded train stations)
• Image resolution
• Frame rate (Frames per second)
• Number of cameras will be recorded
• ......
H.265+
Based on the current H.265 standard, Hikvision analyzed and optimized the encoding, and
developed H.265+ that reduces the bandwidth and storage requirements.
Bandwidth/storage space
Different surveillance scenarios comparison between
H.265+ and H.265

Bandwidth Control
• Network video products utilize network bandwidth and storage space based on
their configuration. Under insufficient bandwidth, we need to lower the bitrate
in order to see the video.
• Choose the right stream type
• Main stream
• Sub stream
• Third stream
• Set the lower resolution and frame rate if there is no enough bandwidth.
H.265+ Configuration
When H.265+ is enabled:
• Only variable bitrate type. The bitrate will be
controlled by the algorithm to maintain the
long-term average bitrate.
• I frame interval is auto-adjusted by algorithm.

according to the maximum. according to the average bitrate.
ROI
• ROI (Region of Interest) encoding helps to differentiate the ROI and background
information in video compression, which assigns more encoding resource to the region of
interest, thus to increase the quality of the ROI whereas the background quality goes down.
