Among the various obstacles that can arise in CCTV projects, lighting is a fundamental aspect to plan for during implementation. A project with high-resolution cameras but lacking the necessary specifications for low or very bright lighting environments can create a window of distortions during monitoring, and if this project aims for detection, whether it be LPR or people and objects, the likelihood of inappropriate equipment causing problems is much higher.
Fortunately, in the CCTV market, there are suitable cameras for installation in extreme lighting environments; various brands strive to create technology that filters light and finds the correct lighting point for better equipment performance.
In the case of Axis, a pioneering manufacturer of IP digital transmission technology, the company developed the Forensic WDR technology that is capable of resolving detailing issues in environments with a lot of light and shadow. We will explore more about WDR in this article.
Axis Forensic WDR
Able to resolve issues of discrepancies between darker and lighter areas, the Axis Wide Dynamic Range, better known as WDR, enhances exposure levels, contrasts, and other filters, reducing noise and revealing what needs to be revealed.
With this technology, Axis addresses problems of underexposure and light overlap on objects and people, making it perfect for implementation in monitoring projects at entrances with external daylight in indoor environments, such as:
- Parking lots;
- Tunnels;
- Environments where the camera direction monitors large windows and glass doors with access to external lighting.
Below you can see a demonstration video of how the technology works, and if you prefer, you can contact the IPMarket team to request a quote for models with WDR; Axis has a diverse catalog of cameras that support this and other technologies.
