Look for (120dB or higher). Fixed cameras are often installed in challenging lighting (entrances with backlight from the sun). Real WDR requires two exposures captured simultaneously by the sensor.
The term "fixed" is the most critical qualifier. Unlike PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) or varifocal cameras (which allow remote zoom after installation), have a stationary lens. This is not a limitation; it is an optimization. Look for (120dB or higher)
Fixed network cameras, also known as network cameras or IP cameras, are digital cameras that transmit data over a network or the internet. Unlike PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras, fixed cameras have a static view and do not move. They are often used for monitoring specific areas, such as entrances, exits, or large open spaces. The term "fixed" is the most critical qualifier
On the software side, cameras implement network stacks, encryption (TLS/HTTPS, SRTP for streams), and management protocols such as ONVIF for interoperability with recorders and video management systems (VMS). Modern fixed network cameras commonly include onboard features like motion detection, tamper detection, exposure control (WDR/HDR), noise reduction, and basic analytics such as line crossing or object counting.
