Backlight Compensation
• Backlight Compensation is gracing the specifications of CCTV cameras for years now. The technology is relatively new, but not that new for people to not have an iota of an idea what is it and what it exactly does. For people who are still new to the concept of Backlight Compensation and have no idea what to expect from the camera laced with this technology, just take a look at the pointers given below,
• The BLC is an ideal technique for neutralizing the images so recorded with overpowering, and bright lights in the background.
• BLC takes the assistance of the digital signal processor (DSP) to methodically optimize the brightness of the images.
• BLC systematically breaks down the images into different parts, thereafter providing exposure for the parts so divided by the BLC.
Highlight Compensation
• Highlight Compensation on the other hand, makes the brightest or the overpowering points of the images captured by the CCTV camera to black.
• They are basically equipped with cameras to handle the images captured by the CCTV cameras that are too brightened up or the flow of light is too much in certain areas because of headlights and spotlights.
• HLC takes the assistance of the image sensors of the CCTC cameras to spot the areas of too much brightness and reduce the exposure to improve the overall quality of the image.
