Welcome to the Camera Reach Tool

The tool is to be used in conjunction with other Axis tools such as the Lens Calculator and IQ Tool to further improve know how around Axis network camera capabilities.

The tool focuses on scene capturing and face recognition capabilities of cameras at different distances and in combination with alternate lenses. Hopefully the tool will help you navigate through the product portfolio, in order to find the most appropriate camera for your application.

This guide will create awareness of the tough demands that face recognition and identification will put on CCTV and network cameras in the future. It will also highlight that even if the physical demands in pixel representation is fulfilled, identification is still dependent on the light environment and other non-controllable factors. However we aim to make this tool a guide for limiting errors and thereby making face recognition as advantageous as possible in several application situations.
There is also a number of application examples showing installed camera environments and resulting images from Axis network cameras in Sweden and around the world.

	Face & object recognition	The width of a face (16cm) should be represented by at least 80 pixels
	Camera view	10 meters camera distance
	Guidelines	Things to remember in order to get the best out of your camera
	Conclusion	System consideration and conclusion
	Transportation	Application examples
	Subway	Stockholm, Sweden
	Appendix A	Using the Magic spreadsheets for calculating the appropriate distance to the camera
	Appendix B	Using the lens calculator for calculating the appropriate distance to the camera
	Appendix C	SKL chart, installation tool for camera calibration
