CCTV Installation and Image capture in Winter is the most challenging time of the year.

This is when CCTV Cameras are really put to the test.  With freezing temperatures, bright low sunlight causing glare, shorter daylight hours and heavy rain, snow and ice - this is often the time when people find out if they really got the right camera for the job!

A CCTV Camera is not just for summer!

It’s important to think of the job the camera has to do throughout the year! 

It’s all very well capturing people’s faces or licence plates in the summer but when it’s dark at 4pm and you have no external lighting or Infra Red/White Illumination, you suddenly have a camera that is not fit for the environment it is in.

With banks dropping like flies and being bailed out by our government, house prices falling but no one being able to get a decent mortgage and the economy now effectively in a recession what, if any, impact might this have on the CCTV industry?

At first thought you might think: if everyone is ‘tightening their belts’ the first thing to be scrapped from the spending list would be the new/upgraded security system, but is this really the case?

Wide Dynamic Range cameras have been around for a little while now but although a lot of people have heard of Wide Dynamic, nowhere near as many have actually used this technology.

Firstly, for those of you who do not know what Wide Dynamic Range (or WDR for short) means, here’s a brief explanation…….

Wide Dynamic Range is a technology which allows the camera to cope with extreme lighting levels.  This can be very low light but is often used to cope with extremely bright areas such as the sun shining through a glass door or window.  

A typical example of where Wide Dynamic Cameras could be used would be where a camera is pointing towards a set of windows.  When the sun shines through the windows this can wash out the image and make it almost impossible to view anyone either standing in front of or behind the glass.

As you can see in the example below with WDR technology, the figures in front of the glass and the scene through the glass are both visible.

Example of Wide Dynamic Range

If you are interested in testing a Wide Dynamic Range camera, ezCCTV have a Vandal Proof WDR Dome Camera that is ideal.
