The TCL-553HDOSD has dozens of user-friendly features. Using the OSD menu (and the controls conveniently located on the back of the camera) you can make adjustments to white balance, shutter, iris, video quality and more. The menu also includes a reset selection that initiates PrePro (Pre-Programmed by professionals) function, which sets the camera to optimum level for most surveillance environments. Used judiciously this feature can save the installer tons of time.

A built-in microphone captures sound at the camera location.  Auto-iris control electronics are built-in, with the standard port on the back of the camera.
