Wide Dynamic Range

Overview

WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) is the technology that adjusts a camera’s image to counter an image that contains both bright and dark areas. Without WDR, the bright areas can be too bright and the dark areas may be too dark, leading to a lack of visibility in those areas. WDR works by capturing multiple images at both a slow and fast shutter speed. The slow speed captures more light and the fast speed captures less. WDR then combines them into a single image. In doing so it brightens the dark spots and darkens the light sports so that the overall image is clearer.

Key Technologies

Advanced sensors for higher light depth

Tone mapping for automatic brightness adjustment

Fast and light-sensitive sensor

Per-pixel exposure utilizing different sensitivity levels on the sensor

Technology to capture lifelike images efficiently

Your Need, Our Solution

Cameras with WDR technology have advanced sensors that can produce a wider range of lighting, allowing them to record in a higher light depth
Along with recording a larger range of lighting more accurately, WDR-enhanced cameras have two other ways of balancing light for better images
Lobbies and showrooms with many windows where the contrast between natural light and indoor light causes bright and dark areas
Indoor recording, where the light when a door opens may make the person and their clothing unrecognizable

Wide Dynamic Range Cameras are able to interpret the image properly and eliminate the glare during the daytime
Nighttime recording, where non-IR lighting may overexpose some areas while leaving other areas dark
WDR cameras work well with difficulties like fluorescent lighting that can cause glares and mitigate various lighting issues
WDR cameras not only provide a great solution to everyday issues but are a cost-effective way to meet the demands of all indoor and outdoor applications
