The Intelligent Camera
February 24th, 2008
The closed-circuit television camera or CCTV has improved tremendously over time. Cameras come in many types depending on the features involved such as compact, fixed and direction-controllable. The more sophisticated models can capture an entire dynamic range of scenes regardless of light conditions. This feature can be very important to specific areas such as poorly lit train stations or the railway track itself.
Advances in technology have provided various options for maximizing the use of this intelligent camera including miniaturization, motion detection, day/night operation, backlight compensation, dynamic noise reduction as well as remote and automatic lens control. The wide range of accessories available has likewise given options for mounting, weather-proofing and resistance to tampering impacts and hazardous substances.
