SURVEILLANCE STUDY GUIDE
●● WDR Technologies (Forensic Capture)
Answer: - Uses multiple images at different exposure levels plus image
processing techniques to manage difficult lighting and highlight forensic
detail.
- Enables objects in both bright and dark areas to be visible.
●● Optimized IR
Answer: - Overcomes the challenge of a fixed beam angle by adopting
the IR's beam angle to the field of view of the camera.
- Angle of illumination automatically adapts to camera's zoom level.
●● Electronic Image Stabilization
Answer: Minimizes effects from vibration and shaking to provide more
usable video at a significantly lower bitrate.
●● 4K
,Answer: - Has the unique ability to cover a large area while providing a
high degree of detail.
- Horizontal resolution in 3840x2160 - four times the resolution of
1080p
●● Corridor Format
Answer: - Rotating the camera 90 degrees to improve the target
coverage.
- Swaps the aspect ratio to put 100% of the pixels on target.
- Best for vertical scenes like hallways.
●● Zipstream
Answer: Preserves forensic detail while significantly lowering the
bitrate.
