Arecont Vision has introduced a 12 megapixel (MP) 360° panoramic camera with true Wide Dynamic Range (WDR). The Surroundvideo panoramic camera produces high quality images of wide areas even in the most challenging lighting conditions without the aberrations produced by single sensor fish-eye panoramic cameras.

Approximately half the size of the manufacturer’s previous panoramic dome camera, the new camera’s unobtrusive design makes it suited for numerous applications both indoors and out. The company’s WDR technology delivers a dynamic range of up to 100dB at full resolution without lowering the frame rates. By combining long and short exposures in the same field-of-view, WDR maximizes the amount of detail in both bright and dark areas of a scene.
