The manufacturers of network cameras and lighting respectively, Axis Communications and Raytec, hosted some educational test night sessions focused on ‘Lighting for Network Cameras’, held across England, Scotland and Denmark in the winter of 2011 to 2012.
After these regional events, Axis and Raytec have released a white paper to summarise the most useful and practical lessons learned.
You can download the white paper here. The paper summarises:
•Mounting and set-up (cameras and lighting)
•Matching angle of illumination to camera FOV
•Energy and cost saving solutions
•Using the minimum lighting required
•Using low light camera technology at night
•Lowering bandwidth and storage requirements
•Quick start lighting and good colour rendition
•Integration of thermal technology and infra-red (IR).
