DORI stands for Detect, Observe, Recognize, and Identify. This is a standard that allows us to compare the visibility of different cameras. By comparing DORI distances, we can determine which cameras are a better fit for what we're looking for. If we want to be able to recognize faces or license plates from a distance, for instance, we'll want to find a camera that has a "Recognize" distance similar to what we're looking for.

DORI distances are determined by the amount of Pixels Per Meter (PPM) in the image. A camera with a lower resolution or a shorter focal length will have shorter DORI distances than a higher resolution, more zoomed in security camera. In this video, we show you how this works out in practice by comparing the DORI numbers of two varifocal cameras, one at a 1080p resolution and one at a 4K resolution.
