We held back one of the most critical topics because it deserves its own spotlight: Dynamic Range  (often delivered via HDR —High Dynamic Range). In many applications, this isn't about a better picture; it's about safety and mission success . What is Dynamic Range? Dynamic Range (DR) is the ratio between the brightest light and the darkest shadow  a sensor can capture simultaneously while retaining useful detail. It's measured in decibels (dB) . Low DR (e.g., 60 dB):  The cam
