Clean After Dark
3D DNR noise reduction and a minimum illumination of 0.001 lux. The picture has less noise when the light fades.
Light and Shadow
Global WDR balances bright and dark areas of the frame. You can see detail both in the sky and in the shadows.

OSD Menu
The camera has an OSD menu with switchable PAL and NTSC. You can set the picture and the TV system to match your gear.
Clean Picture When the Light Fades
Caddx's comparison shows the same night scene without and with 3D DNR noise reduction. With 3D DNR the picture has visibly less noise.
