CudaEye Support

The pictures during the day look funny, can I do anything?

CudaEye does a good job in most lighting situations. The Ultra High Dynamic Range (UHDR) gives you usable imagery in deep shadow and bright sunlight, in indoor/outdoor scenarios, and if you have lights in the image. At the very high end of the dynamic range, contrast and colors tend to flatten out and you will see some color washout or red tinge.

The only real limitation of UHDR is in low light situations. If getting quality imagery in the dark portion of the scene requires gain (multiplication of the light value, not just increased exposure) it rapidly defeats the UHDR. The gain threshold is in the range of 10lux, something around dimly lit indoor lighting.

If you have this scenario and your are seeing images washed out in the bright areas, you can either try to change the camera framing to eliminate the darkest area, or provide some additional lighting in those areas. In future releases, we will provide ways to do this electronically.
