QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
VAPIX - ANSWERSCopyrighted integration application for Axis cameras
ONVIF - ANSWERSGlobal open industry forum for standardizing network interfaces of
video products to ensure greater interoperability
f-number (f-stop) - ANSWERSLight gathering ability of lens
Lower f-number - ANSWERSBetter low light performance
Manually adjusted iris works well in - ANSWERSconstant light level
Auto adjusted iris works well in - ANSWERSchanging light levels
Day/night functional camera has - ANSWERSRemovable IR filter (on during day, off
during night)
Optimized IR - ANSWERSAllows even IR lighting for camera
Lightfinder Technology - ANSWERSExtreme light sensitivity
Meagapixel sensors - ANSWERSGuarantee full frame rate, high color fidelity, 16:9
aspect ratio
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) - ANSWERSLarge differences in lighting of parts in scene
Wide Dynamic Range Mode - ANSWERSCombines short exposure of lighter parts, and
long exposure of dark parts of a scene
Thermal Imaging - ANSWERSUsed during dark scenes, and unideal conditions (Fog,
smoke, mist)
Electronic Image Stabilization - ANSWERSStabilize image in vibration susceptible
locations, use gyroscope and algorithms to compensate, processes movement digitally
(does not change lens settings)
Corridor Format - ANSWERSRotated camera 90 degrees to provide 9:16 aspect ratio
, Pixel Counter - ANSWERSVisual aid as frame with counter of width/height pixels to
ensure resolution is sufficient
Fixed Bot Cameras - ANSWERSTraditional, visible, good as deterrent, can come with
interchangeable lenses
Fixed Bullet Cameras - ANSWERSSmall, slim design, outdoor ready, built in IR, non-
interchangeable lenses
Fixed Dome Cameras - ANSWERSCamera inside dome housing, discreet and
unobtrusive, hard to see viewing direction, more resistant to tampering, can have
interchangeable lenses
Onboard Fixed Dome Cameras - ANSWERSSpecifically designed for transportation
surveillance, must be dust/water protected, must be tamper resistant, must be
vibration/shock resistant
Panoramic Cameras - ANSWERSProvide wide area coverage, single/multisensor or
multidirectional, can provide single/double/quad view for monitoring
Multi-Megapixel Cameras - ANSWERSPresent Bandwidth/storage challenges, can
cover large areas, can zoom on objects of interest automatically
Modular Cameras - ANSWERSFlexible, discreet, divided into sensor or main units, up
to 4 channel connections
PTZ Cameras - ANSWERSpan, tilt, zoom functions, commands sent over same cable
as video
Positioning cameras - ANSWERSMost comprehensive field of view, reliable, robust,
weatherproof, highspeed and slow jerk-free movements
Sharpdome Technology - ANSWERSAllows view above horizon (up to 20 degrees)
Thermal Cameras - ANSWERSHeat radiated imaging, lenses made with germanium,
cooled or uncooled
Explosion Protected Cameras - ANSWERSUsed in hazardous environments, heavy
duty enclosures, prevent sparks from entering hazardous area
Camera Light Sensitivity - ANSWERSSpecified in Lux, determined by lens and image
sensor
Field Of View - ANSWERSDetermined by focal length and size of image sensor
