Hanover, Germany (March 5, 2013) – Arecont Vision, the industry leader in IP megapixel
camera technology, announced today that their true Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology
is now available in three different camera series. The MegaDome® 2 WDR, MegaBall™ WDR
and MegaVideo® Compact WDR cameras are all on display at CeBIT, Hall 13, Stand C57.
Arecont Vision WDR cameras are available in resolutions of 1080p and 3-megapixels. The
company’s WDR technology delivers a dynamic range of up to 100dB at full resolution and
without lowering the frame rates. By combining long and short exposures in the same field-ofview,
WDR maximizes the amount of detail in both bright and dark areas of a scene. The
WDR performance of Arecont Vision cameras represents an up to 50dB improvement (300X)
in dynamic range compared to non-WDR cameras.
“Wide dynamic range is a highly sought-after capability in the European security market,” said
Peter McKee, Vice President of EMEA Sales, Arecont Vision. “These WDR models expand
the usefulness of our megapixel technology by making it possible to capture sharp images in
scenes with challenging lighting conditions, such as the lobby of an office building or the
loading dock at a distribution facility.”
Arecont Vision megapixel technology delivers superior image quality and reduces overall
system costs by covering larger areas with fewer cameras. WDR complements the other
features of MegaDome® 2, MegaBall™ and MegaVideo® cameras, including a dual H.264
(MPEG-4 Part 10) and MJPEG encoder, fast frame rates, on-camera privacy masking and
1024-zone motion detection. The cameras are ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum)
and PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance) conformant.
