Uri Guterman, Head of Product & Marketing for Hanwha Techwin Europe, provides a bite-sized overview of the contribution IR illumination can make to the effectiveness of a video surveillance system. Video surveillance cameras need light to capture high quality images 24 hours a day.
In times gone by, this meant supplementary lighting had to be installed to ensure cameras could operate effectively in low light and night-time conditions. The cost of doing so could be prohibitive if civil engineering work was required for cabling purposes.
