Preparing your network video project
1. Define the
scene and type of network video products
required
|
Scene: what kind of scene do you want to monitor? How important is it? |
This will help you determine the features you'd like to have in a network camera, such as video quality, light sensitivity and type of lens. |
|
|
Lighting conditions: level of indoor and/or outdoor light sensitivity required |
Axis offers network cameras for indoor use, as well as ones for both indoor/outdoor conditions. Indoor/outdoor cameras have varifocal lens that automatically adjust the lens' iris. Day/night cameras, which provide color images during daytime and black & white images during nighttime are also available. Check details on the network camera's light sensitivity both in indoor and/or outdoor environments. Lighting conditions are measured in "lux". |
|
|
Distance from position of camera to object being monitored. |
This determines the type of camera and type of lens (normal, telephoto, wide-angle) to use, as well as the placement of the camera(s). Certain Axis network cameras have lens that are replaceable. |
|
|
Angle of view needed: wide, narrow, general or detailed coverage (Determine how much of the scene you need to see) |
Network cameras come with fixed angle and focus, as well as variable ones that allow remote pan/tilt/zoom capability, which enables a wider area of coverage. |
|
|
High or low traffic. |
The higher the traffic, perhaps more cameras are needed. |
