Depth of field
Over 95% of today’s surveillance applications use wide angles with subjects over 5 feet
from the camera
Depth of field is of little concern in these environments

Exposure Controls
A window can be drawn to isolate specific pixel data. The camera will adjust
exposure based on the type of pixel data contained within the exposure window. If
the pixel data is primarily bright, the image will darken to adjust for potential
overexposure. If the pixel data is primarily dark, the image will brighten up to adjust
for potential underexposure
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
>
The term Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is used to describe the function of a camera
designed to produce clearer, more actionable images and/or video in circumstances
where back light and intense illumination can vary excessively, especially when both very
bright and very dark areas are simultaneously present in the camera’s field-of-view. The
wider the dynamic range, the better the camera’s sensor can accurately capture varying
light intensities and then heighten the details visible within the area of view.
>
Examples where WDR functionality is most needed include:
Instances where the subject is positioned against strong back lighting, such as a heavily
windowed retail storefront or office
Areas with rapid and constant changes in illumination, like entryway/exit points
Where the lighting condition in the field-of-view moves from a well-lit area into a darker area
City transportation centers such as parking garages, tunnels or train stations, where people
and vehicles enter and exit (commonly with bright daylight outside and low levels of light
inside)
Scenarios such as toll plazas, gas stations, and anywhere vehicles with bright headlights are
driving directly towards the camera
Environments with intense light reflection off banks of windows such as with office buildings
and shopping malls, or for areas with water features
WDR Image examples
>
Here’s an example of multi-frame imaging where the camera captures multiple frames, each having a
different dynamic range. The camera then combines the frames to produce a single, superior WDR
frame
