WDR allows you to see the video in a wide range of lighting conditions. One example is when you are looking at a loading dock that has sunlight on a part of the floor area. Another example is when people are in front of a large window or glass door and you would like to see the people both inside and outside the area. WDR is usually provided by taking multiple pictures at different gain settings and then averaging the result into one composite picture. Most of the cameras that claim WDR provide at least 60 dB of contrast. The Hikvision cameras are rated at 120 dB.
