CCTV Architecture, Design, Installation & Management Skills

One of the mosr critical skills in CCTV skills is the design stage. This is so, especially when carrying out large installation projects

During the design of CCTV systems much time is spent on estimating lens focal length and the right location of video cameras to get the necessary image on the screen.
Estimating person identification areas and license plate reading areas causes additional difficulties for a designer. The task becomes more complicated when it is necessary to choose optimal relative positions of several cameras or when it is necessary to make one camera solve several tasks (for example identification of entering people and surveillance over the perimeter). You can also add the necessity to calculate how this or that object will be displayed, where the motion detector will detect a person for an instance with enough light and contrast ratio, and where it will not, etc.
