1Introduction
So - you have bought one (or more!) of Swann’s range of Pro Series cameras, browsed
through the On-Screen Display (OSD), noticed lots of confusing settings, and don’t quite
understand what they all do. This manual will help you navigate through the OSD and
explain the OSD settings in detail.
The OSD enables you to control the appearance and characteristics of the image shown on
your camera. It features a myriad of settings that can be adjusted to obtain the best possible
image quality in any surveillance environment, providing you the flexibility to install the
camera in the most challenging of lighting situations. If you are experienced in photography
or video-making, then many of the camera’s functions are things you’ll be familiar with.
Just to be clear - there’s nothing you can do in the OSD which can actually damage the
camera. If it does all go wrong, you can use the Load Default option to set everything back to
the default/automatic settings.

• 3D-NR (3D Noise Reduction): Lets you
turn the camera’s 3D filtering system on
to assist in obtaining low-noise images
for recordings done at night or in dim
conditions. Setting the 3D-NR value too
high (>9) can result in a “trailing” effect
(also known as motion blur) on moving
objects appearing on screen.
• Iris: Lets you control the default behavior
of your lens and iris. Many of the PRO
series cameras feature a prime lens with
a static iris, so the lens and iris settings
will have no effect. Even cameras that
have a vari-focal lens which is controlled
physically by using the lens control rods -
will not be affected by these settings.

• AE (Automatic Exposure) Mode: Lets
you choose from several AE modes
that will allow the camera to evaluate
the amount of light coming through
its image sensor and deliver optimal
exposure to the objects in the scene by
automatically setting the appropriate
shutter speed and/or aperture. This
setting comes in handy for those times
when your camera is in less than
ideal situations and the default AE
mode is not giving you good images
(e.g., camera installed in an area with
unusual lighting conditions, camera
facing a window, camera looking into
car headlights).
• WB (White Balance): Lets you choose
from a selection of preset white
balance options to adjust screen color
and help you obtain the most accurate
reproduction of color tone in the scene.

• Image Enhance: Lets you manually adjust the
levels of sharpness, contrast and saturation in
the displayed image.
• Sharpness: The clarity of detail and edges
in the image. Setting the sharpness too high
will make the image look pixelated. On the
other hand, setting the sharpness too low will
make everything look soft and blurry.
• Contrast: 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.
• Saturation: The amount of grey in a colour.
Increasing saturation will produce more
vivid and intense colours in the image while
decreasing saturation will result in more
subdued colours. Setting saturation to 0 will
create a completely desaturated, black and
white image.

• Mirror: Lets you horizontally reverse
the orientation of the image.
• Flip: Lets you turn the image upside
down. This is useful if you have your
camera mounted upside down on a
ceiling and do not want to rotate it
physically.
• Brightness: Lets you adjust the level
of brightness in the displayed image.
Increasing the Brightness setting can
be useful if you have an unusually
dark monitor/television, or are
trying to view images in a very bright
environment. Typically, the default
value is fine unless you have specific
problems you’re trying to overcome.
• Zoom In: Lets you see the object of
interest up to five times closer using
the camera’s digital zoom.

• DAY & NIGHT
• Auto: Lets you set the camera to
switch automatically from day to night
mode.
• Color: Lets you set the camera to
operate in color mode only. In low-light
conditions, the color will be faint, but it
will be there (assuming there’s enough
light to see anything). This will reduce
image clarity in low-light conditions.
• Black & White: Lets you set the
camera to operate in black and white
only.
• External: This mode is not supported.
Lets you choose how the camera handles colour and manages the transition from daytime to
nighttime and vice-versa
