A recent white paper from Axis Communications documents a range of network camera, lens and lighting combinations tried in real-life low-light conditions. Network camera experts Axis and CCTV lighting specialists Raytec held a series of test nights throughout the dark winter months of 2011 and 2012. The test nights were designed to help attending security professionals (including integrators, installers, end users and consultants) tackle some of the most common practical issues when using lighting in conjunction with network cameras to achieve high performance CCTV images at night. The white paper seeks to unravel the main real-world challenges involved with low-light CCTV.
