This is awesome takes out a lot of the deciphering and makes it easy on the integrator to properly match the right camera for the intended needs on a project. I have shared with my colleagues what I am learning from IPVM University and they are amazed at the levels and quality of the tools developed by IPVM for use by the professional membership and students taking courses towards certification. Thanks and keep up the great work!

This is a very valid and necessary discussion. Finally there should be a standardized measurable dB value to compare the dynamic of cameras independantly from the marketing names. "The actual dynamic range of the camera is measured
using Opto-Electronic Conversion Function (OECF) analysis with a standardized test chart based on ISO standards."

So John, have you guys given any thought to writing a WDR standard and provide testing? Sort of the UL of the video world? Could be a new business model for you of collecting fees from the manufacturers to test their cameras and label them – IPVM approved!
