Sanyo introduces the VCC-WD8574 Wide Dynamic Range camera, also known as Sanyo Dynamic, designed for security applications with challenging lighting conditions.
Wide Dynamic Range offers a solution to the problem of monitoring windows, doors, and other brightly backlit areas that result in unrecognizable, dark images of subjects in the foreground. The Wide Dynamic Range provides two shutter speeds, a normal 1/60 speed and a higher speed, which produces clear images by extracting highlights and shadows from the two shots and then combining them into a single, detailed image. Applications include retail, office, or other buildings where the camera is positioned to view from the inside looking out into bright daylight.
