What is Wide Dynamic Range

Wide Dynamic Range is a technology employed by cameras in order to provide a clear picture in situations where there is a large dynamic range in lighting. This typically occurs when a camera is pointed towards a large window or entrance that lets in large amounts of light. For cameras not implementing WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology the images that the camera records will be washed out and hard-to-see.

These hard to see images are produced because of the large dynamic range from the dark and bright elements of the room which the camera has trouble processing. WDR cameras implement two Charge-Coupled Devices and take two scans of the same image and process them together to provide clear images. For more information on dynamic range and how they effect security cameras, check out our Wide Dynamic Range camera page.

CCTV For Police Departments

Law enforcement is beefing up its security inside its police stations lately with the addition of security cameras inside its interview rooms, holding cells, evidence rooms and hallways. A security camera has many uses inside a police station. For example having a security camera watching the evidence room is a given due to the fact that a police station can have everything from money to drugs hidden inside its evidence room and what good is your evidence if it has been stolen.

Also another favorable place is the interview room for a security camera and also audio equipment is often being used in an interview room. The reason is simple, if you get a suspect to confess to a crime you now have video and audio proof to back up his claim in court.

Philadelphia is getting help from Security Cameras

Mayor John Street is not a stranger to crime. Born into a violent rural community in Norristown, Mayor Street began his public career as a community activist for peace. Today he announced a plan to add 250 security cameras to city streets.

The first of the cameras will be installed in the violent neighborhood around 52nd and Market Streets in West Philadelphia according to Deputy Police Commissioner Jack Gaittens. The first of the cameras could be operational as little as two weeks.

The cameras will all be wireless, highly visible to deter criminals, and monitored by a new class of civilian police workers.

The $9 million deal between the city and Unisys provide video surveillance to a large area of the city.

City Council members Darrell Clarke and Donna Reed Miller promised legislation that would authorize a similar amount for another 250 cameras next year - 500 altogether by 2009.
