Q

WDR

A
  • (Wide Dynamic Range) Forensic Capture
  • Bright and dark areas become visible (Balanced)
  • “opposite of Lightfinder”
  • Balances the light source between dark and light areas
  • Takes multiple exposures. Puts over and under exposed images together
  • Dark areas are over exposed to brighten upgrade
  • Light areas are under exposed to not be blown out
  • Do not use if you require high frame rate (Ex. 60FPS)
  • By default is on for supported cameras
  • Halo appears around objects where there is high contrast between light and dark areas
  • Dynamic contrast and dynamic capture both used as part of the Forensic Capture

Q

Optimized IR

A
  • Illumination automatically adapts to camera zoom level
  • Most LED illuminators on a camera is 4
  • Too many LEDs heat up the sensor and burn it up
  • Produces better balanced IR instead of a focused illumination beam
  • Lights are dimmed or brightened based on object distance from camera (less light for close up, more for far away)

Q

4K

A
  • Benefit of 4K = Captures more detail, better digital zoom capability, cover more area with single camera (or less)
  • Much higher bandwidth and storage consumption
  • Light gathering capability is worse than lower resolution cameras 1080/720
  • Now supports Lightfinder
  • Large area coverage

Q

Corridor Format

A
  • Takes 16:9 and flips it 90 degrees to make it 9:16 for longer view
  • 2 Ways to do Corridor format. Auto flip - Physically flip camera and it will be detected and adjusted. Manual flip - requires software change to adjust view 90 degrees
  • NOT the same as rotating in VMS

Q

Zipstream

A
  • Compression algorithm
  • Saves on bandwidth and storage consumption
  • Diff from H.264 is that when there is no change in scene (larger savings with Zipstream)
  • H.264 with zipstream performs better than H.265
  • H.265 is not yet available because it’s not industry supported (encoders etc…)

  • Telephoto has least coverage, but most detail
84
Q

Fixed lens

A

Pre-configured, can’t change anything (even zoom)

85
Q

Varifocal

A
  • Zoom in and out a little bit

- Must refocus whenever zoom is adjusted

86
Q

Zoom lens

A

-Camera will automatically zoom in and focus

87
Q

C/CS Mount (Difference and interchangeable?)

A
  • C will give higher focal length (more zoomy)
  • CS will give wider field of view
  • Need adapter ring to convert camera from CS to C mount
  • Can do remote back focus
  • Manually set zoom and focus physically on camera. Remote back focus for minor adjustments
88
Q

iCS lens

A

-Remote zoom and focus

89
Q

Lens (what does it do?)

A

-Influences the FOV and focuses light

90
Q

Iris (what does it do?)

A

-Regulates the amount of light by controlling the size of the aperture

91
Q

Aperture (what does it do?)

A
  • Hole through which light enters
  • More open, lets in more light to expose image
  • More closed, lets in less light to avoid being blown out
92
Q

Sensor (what does it do?)

A

-Converts light into an electrical signal

93
Q

Processor (what does it do?)

A

-Processes an electrical signal into an image

94
Q

Focal length

A

-Distance between glass and sensor

95
Q

FStop

A
  • 1 is almost completely open

- 10 is almost closed

96
Q

Depth of Field

A
  • The area before and after the focal point
  • When an object moving through view goes out of focus, they are out of the depth of field
  • Less light = higher depth of field
  • More light = less depth of field
97
Q

Wide lens DOF

98
Q

Telephoto DOF

A

Shallow DOF

99
Q

Iris types

A

-Fixed,DC-Iris, P-Iris

100
Q

Fixed Iris

A
  • Aperture cannot change, fixed value

- Put in a controlled environment where light doesn’t change (indoors)

101
Q

DC-Iris

A
  • Direct current iris
  • Looks for condition changes to adjust iris
  • Sometimes auto-adjust will make portion of view go out of focus and need to be focused again
102
Q

P-Iris

A

-Has a logical check for focus and will auto-correct

103
Q

Image Sensor

A
  • Think grid
  • Higher resolution = smaller “pocket” footprint
  • Smaller “pockets” collect less light, but more pixels (4K)
104
Q

Shutter speed

A
  • slow = more light
  • Fast = less light
  • 1/6 second exposure = 6 exposures every second
105
Q

“Flicker Free”

A

-Allows for changing to 60Hz

106
Q

Gain

A
  • To compensate for low light
  • Amplifies light on image
  • Can be “noisy” or “grainy”
  • Will increase bandwidth/storage (more changes detected by H.264)
107
Q

Lightfinder req

A

-Needs good lens, sensor, and processor to support Lightfinder

108
Q

WDR use case

A
  • Works well on cloudy days

- Over exposed and under exposed image merged together

109
Q

Light/illumination measurement

A

-Measured in Lux

110
Q

Light calculation

A
  • When you double the distance you need 4 times the light

- Inverse square law of light

111
Q

Colour Temperature

A
  • Measured in Kelvin

- Distorts images if set incorrectly

112
Q

White balance

A

-Tries to remove the gold/purple/blue tint COLOUR TEMP

113
Q

IR wave info

A
  • Semi-covert IR is around 850nm, but can easily be seen with human eye (far distance)
  • Covert IR is 940nm and difficult to notice with human eyes (shorter distance)
114
Q

IR-cut filter

A
  • Blocks the IR light from hitting the sensor (cuts out IR with a filter)
  • IR-Pass filter blocks off majority of white light and allows IR through
115
Q

Optimized IR

A

-adjusts the IR beam angle to match the cameras FOV

116
Q

IR requires …..

A

“IR corrected lens” to maintain sharp focus

  • Without the correct lens, the image will be blurry

Emissivity

A
  • The rate at which a material radiates thermal energy
  • More porous materials have higher emissivity and radiate heat more
  • Think coffee in paper cup vs thermos on thermal camera
119
Q

Compression

A
  • Too much compression reduces image detail (pixely view)
  • Seek balance between bitrate and image quality
  • Lossless vs lossy compression
  • Lossless = Think deflating a beach ball and re-inflating. Nothing is lost. Not much bitrate savings
  • Lossy = More savings, but image quality is impacted. Takes sample, analyzes sample next to it, will compress and send, decompress as “good enough”
  • More compression = less samples taken
120
Q

Codecs

A
  • encode/decode
  • MJPEG vs H.264/H.265
  • MJPEG compresses by applying lossy compression to each image
  • H.264 compresses by using “I” frames and “P” frames. Initial frame “I” frame is the whole complete image. Predictive “P” frames (key frames) are only the changes in image.
  • MJPEG requires little processing
  • H.264 requires heavy processing
  • MJPEG uses very high bandwidth
  • H.264 Uses very low bandwidth
  • MJPEG easy to predict bitrate because whole image processed and sent each time
  • H.264 Difficult to predict bitrate because size of image dependent on the changing image/view (no changes = very small, many changes = very big)
121
Q

GOP/GOV

A
  • Same thing
  • Group of pictures/Group of videos
  • Now is Number of P frames
  • Determines when the next I frame will be captured/sent
  • So #of P = 61 means there is an I frame followed by 60 P frames
122
Q

H.264 profiles

A
  • B frames = bidirectional frames, looks at frames before and after current frame
  • Surveillance only uses I and P frames
123
Q

Latency

A
  • Time it takes to compress, transport, decode, and display video stream
  • MJPEG has lower latency than H.264 because the processing cost is much lower
124
Q

JPEG compression

A
  • Compression of 10 will keep 90% of the image and compress 10%
  • Compression happens on a curve. The gains from compression are lessened as you compress more. Balanced is often around 30.
125
Q

Artifacts

A

-Blocky pixely bits that appear on overly compressed image (Ex. 100% compression)

126
Q

Variable bitrates

A
  • Bitrate rises and falls as the scene changes

- Camera is unrestricted/can use what it needs

127
Q

Maximum bitrate

A
  • Set a threshold for the max bitrate a camera can use
  • Prioritize image quality or frame rate
  • Priority on image quality will not touch compression level to preserve image at the cost of framerates
  • Priority on frame rate will not touch frame rate at the cost of image quality (compression / artifacts)
128
Q

Zipstream

A
  • Not proprietary
  • Built off the back of H.264
  • Took H.264 and modified it for best bitrate savings
  • Different levels of zipstream
  • Advanced Zipstream features (anything other than Dynamic ROI) only supported by 3 VMS (Axis Camera Station, Milestone, Genetec)
  • Dynamic regions of interest (ROI) are marked when change/motion detected and compression is not adjusted
  • Areas not marked as dynamic regions of interest (movement/change) are set for increased compression
  • Dynamic Regions of interest are labeled as such because the camera automatically detects change and marks without user input
  • Zipstream analyzes every P frame and recalculates what it considers as a dynamic region of interest
129
Q

Zipstream Methods

A
  • Dynamic regions of interest = Supported by any VMS that is capable of using H.264
  • Dynamic GOP = If GOP/keyframes is set to 61, zipstream increases to ~300 for bitrate savings until change is detected. It will automatically use 61 if there is any change
  • Zipstream for PTZs = Same as Dynamic region of interest, but now supported for PTZ cameras
  • Dynamic FPS = If frame rate is set to 30FPS it will drop frame rate down to 1FPS if there is no change in image. It will automatically go back to 30FPS if there is any change. (can set higher than 1FPS if required)
130
