TECHNICAL CORNER
AXIS SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY
Image quality is one of the most important features of any camera, if not the most important. This is particularly so in surveillance and monitoring applications, where lives and property may be at stake.
Determining factors
Unlike traditional analog cameras, Axis network cam- eras are equipped with processing power not only to capture and present the images, but also to digitally manage and compress the video for network transport. There is a natural
>Type of image sensor
>Low light capabilities of the camera
>Ability to replace the lens
>Resolution
>Supported compression standards
>Image capture technology
Why is Axis image quality superior?
Since the development of network cameras first began, Axis introduced a stream of image enhancing technol- ogies and patents. From a technical point of view, Axis’ Superior Image Quality rests on three pillars:
>Advanced signal processing, image enhancement algorithms and video compression technologies
>
>Careful selection and matching of the latest image sensors and lenses
