Cameras equipped with High Dynamic Range (HDR) can show more detail in the dark shadows and bright highlights of an image. HDR is especially useful for capturing clear video in areas with harsh lighting conditions (e.g., a camera on a covered porch, under an awning, facing a bright light source, etc.).
Users can toggle HDR on and off using the Alarm.com Website.
