Daily Frustrations on the Door
Trouble Identifying Guests in Bad Lighting
The majority of apartment dwellers in modern apartment buildings suffer from a common issue: trouble seeing guests at the door due to non-compliant video visibility. Whether it’s direct sunlight that causes glare on top of the camera or black shadowing that hides faces, outdated intercom systems are not likely to offer good-quality pictures. This could lead to frustration, delay, and security breaches.
Missed Deliveries Due to Poor Image Quality
Resident intercoms without cutting-edge imaging capabilities will struggle to capture clear images of delivery personnel. Residents most commonly miss critical packages simply because they cannot see who is standing at their front door. This is especially frustrating in heavily populated residential buildings where security and timing are paramount.
Why Old-School Intercoms Don’t Cut It
The conventional intercom system tends to utilize the services of standard cameras that are insensitive to variations in environmental lighting. Static image processing makes such systems deliver under- or overexposed images, making it challenging for residents to make informed decisions on admitting someone.
Lighting Conditions That Hinder Visibility
Glare, Backlight, and Low Light Issues
Cameras installed outside apartment buildings are exposed to extreme lighting changes throughout the day. Glare from direct sunlight, backlight from sunrise or sunset, and low-light conditions after nighttime all have disastrous effects on image quality. Dynamic adjustment is not possible in basic intercom cameras, resulting in washed-out or dark images.
Security and Convenience Risks from Poor Visibility
Poor visibility is not just a nuisance—it’s a threat to security. Unless residents are able to see a visitor’s face, unauthorized entry can occur. Furthermore, the absence of visual identification can delay emergency responses or confuse elderly residents who rely on visual signals.
Common Complaints About Apartment Intercom Systems
Two of the most widespread grievances about aging apartment intercom systems are grainy video outputs, sluggish response times, and non-interoperability with mobile devices. These issues reflect outdated technology that is unable to serve the needs of contemporary smart living spaces.
How Uniwin-Global Solves Visibility Issues with WDR
What is Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Technology?
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) is an advanced camera technology that balances lighting in both bright and dark areas of an image simultaneously. It ensures that faces are neither washed out by brightness nor lost in shadows—crucial for accurate identification at entry points.
Benefits of WDR in Harsh Lighting Conditions
The access control system uses a dual-lens wide dynamic camera, which adapts to harsh environments with strong and weak light, featuring fast recognition and high accuracy. This means that even under intense sunlight or dim evening light, the camera delivers clear facial images suitable for verification.
WO501 Outdoor Station: Built for Challenging Environments
WO501 binocular face recognition terminal supports audio and video intercom based on SIP protocol. It adopts a wide dynamic high-definition face recognition camera, adapts to harsh environments such as strong light and weak light, and offers fast recognition speed, high accuracy, and a large library capacity. This makes it a reliable choice for any apartment complex looking to enhance its access control system.
Enhanced Features of Modern SIP Intercoms
Real-Time Face Recognition for Security
WO501 integrates face recognition, identity verification, on-site face collection, blacklist warning, person-passing photo retention, liveness detection, and more—all working together to prevent unauthorized access while enabling seamless entry for approved individuals.
