DSS

23 Dec, 2019 by

Digital Slow Shutter is the same as Sense-Up which has been in our camera terminology for several years. DSS allows the shutter speed of the camera to slow down giving more time for the CCD image device to gather light. The normal shutter speed for a CCTV camera is 1/60 second so slowing it down will cause it to be 1/15, 1/5, 1/1 (one second), 2/1 (two seconds) or capturing a still picture 15 times a second, 5 times a second or capturing a still picture every 1 or 2 seconds. This setting will produce a picture in very low light but it also causes smear if any movement occurs in the scene.
