IP Camera Features Dynamic Capture WDR for Demanding Lighting Conditions

October 23, 2012

Axis Communications introduced the AXIS P3384-V/-VE Fixed Dome Network Cameras, which feature wide dynamic range (WDR) with “dynamic capture” for environments with strong variations in light, as well as Lightfinder technology to produce color video even in the lowest of light. Intensity, quality and direction of natural and artificial light often fluctuate throughout the day, challenging a camera to produce quality video in a variety of difficult lighting conditions, such as low light, direct light, through shadows and while fighting reflections. AXIS P3384 Network Cameras, available in vandal-resistant indoor and outdoor-ready models, allow the user to select between two enhanced imaging modes during installation to combat specific lighting scenarios. The camera can be configured to utilize WDR with dynamic capture to compensate for intense backlight or variable lighting conditions, or enable Lightfinder to overcome low light and capture color details when typical day/night cameras would switch to black and white.
