Wide Dynamic Range

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is a feature that allows viewing of high contrast scenes that include both bright and
low light areas in the same field of view (FOV).

19

Picture Additional

WDR Level allows you to adjust the WDR level to favour a underexposed or overexposed image. By selecting the
lower end of the control the image is underexposed which provides more detail in areas of bright but less details in
areas of darkness. Selecting the higher end of the control the image is overexposed which provides more detail in
the dark areas but less details in the bright areas.

A typical use for this feature would be viewing a scene with both indoor and outdoor lighting conditions
simultaneously, for example, in a warehouse area with an open bay door.

Procedure 3-11 Disable/Enable Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

Day Night Mode

IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light performance.

When needed one of these functions, the True TDN mechanism, removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of
the imager allowing the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional near-infrared energy found in
many lighting sources like halogen, moonlight, etc.

This, along with slowing down another function, the shutter speed, significantly improves low light performance
rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.

IR Illuminator

When the camera is in B/W mode it can utilize or “see” near-IR illumination; something the human eye cannot do.
This can be extremely powerful when the dome is paired with 850~950nm IR illuminators. With this combination a
scene can be well lit with IR light that the dome can see but people cannot. This is great for areas where externally
lighting is not allowed or there is a need for covert security.

Day Night Mode

The dome provides a black-and-white (B/W) mode to improve camera performance when the light level falls below
certain thresholds. This allows clear images to be obtained under low-light conditions. There are three Day/Night
settings:Forced Color, Forced B/W and Auto.

Lens Calibration

Use the lens calibration process to recover focus and zoom after motor stalling has occurred. Motor step stalling
is rare but it can occur during shipping or through mishandling of the camera. If the One Touch focus at Wide or
Tele is not working through the zoom range, the camera requires lens calibration. The lens calibration tool uses
infinity focus curves to align the camera lens and correct problems focusing at Wide or Tele.
