Camera modes area: To define which camera modes to enable in the camera, select the
camera mode. For more information on each camera mode, see section 10.5.4.2 Explana-
tion of the different camera modes, page 22.
Gain mode area:
• Auto gain mode: Select to make the camera automatically switch between the high-
sensitivity range and the low-sensitivity range, depending on the scene temperature.
The temperature level at which the camera switches between the two modes is +150°C
(+302°F).
• Low gain mode: Select to make the camera work in the low-sensitivity range only. This
has the advantage that the camera does not perform a non-uniformity correction when
an object with a temperature higher than +150°C (+302°F) enters the scene. However,
the disadvantage is lower sensitivity and a higher level of signal noise.
Add custom boot image area: To specify your own unique image to appear during start-up,
click Browse, and navigate to the image file. This is useful for, for example, identifying your
fire department’s cameras. By incorporating your fire department’s logo, and a unique
identity number in the image, you can keep track of your cameras.
