This whitepaper explains how Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology enables cameras to capture scenes with both bright and dark areas without losing detail. Traditional cameras struggle with high-contrast environments, often resulting in overexposed or underexposed regions. WDR solutions overcome this by combining multiple exposures or applying advanced image processing techniques. Axis emphasizes forensic WDR, which prioritizes clarity, usability, and minimal artifacts such as motion blur or noise. The paper highlights that real-world performance depends on overall image quality rather than just technical specifications, making WDR essential for surveillance in environments like entrances, tunnels, and outdoor settings.
