Key Considerations for Effective Design of 24 hour CCTV
When designing CCTV systems for effective 24 hour surveillance there are particular areas which must be addressed regarding the night-time performance of the system:
1. Camera
All cameras are not the same, and some are better suited to providing effective coverage at night. It can be a minefield for installers with impressive claims of zero or low lux cameras, but in essence without light there can be no picture.
2. Lens
The night-time performance of lenses is sometimes overlooked.
3. Illumination
The key for a successful night-time schemes is having sufficient light, the right quality of light and the right control over the light.
The best night-time solution for CCTV is Infra Red lighting at the camera
Advantages of Infra Red:
-
Invisible to the human eye but monochrome cameras can see it
-
No light pollution or unnecessary costly lighting
-
Discrete or covert to blend with surrounding environment
-
Intruders are unaware of surveillance (semi-discrete and covert)
-
No glare for pedestrians or drivers
-
Increased return from investment in system by giving 24 hr coverage instead of just
daylight coverage
