CCTV
Closed Circuit Television, commonly known as CCTV, is an interesting area of television technology. It is usually used in surveillance systems, but a lot of Components and concepts can be implemented in an industrial production monitoring System, or equally, in a hospital or university environment.

CCTV Equipment Basics

Signal Transmission Media: This media will receive the signal from the camera end and send it to the video management end with lowest possible attenuation. This media could be wired or wireless transmission. Video management: This end will receive the signal and process it to be viewed. A video processing unit, recording unit and a monitor construct this end. Video collection: This end collects the image from object and send via the transmission media to the processing end. It is constructed from camera, lens, power and mounting accessories.

CCTV Cameras
Cameras could be divided into 4 categories: Monochrome camera Produce black and white picture Color camera Produce Color picture Day/Night Camera Color picture in a daytime light level Monochrome picture below certain light level, automatically changed IR (Infrared) Cameras Color picture during the day Monochrome picture when used with infrared illuminator

CCTV Cameras
Understanding Camera Types
Board Cameras-a board camera is small camera consisting of a lens mounted directly to a circuit board or small group of boards. Bullet Cameras-bullet cameras use similar technology to the board cameras with a different configuration. Fixed Domes-a fixed dome camera means that the camera within the dome enclosure remains in one position.

CCTV Cameras
PTZ domes-fully the camera equipped pan/tilt and zoom (PTZ) domes provide the camera system operator with the ability to move the camera left and right(PAN) or up and down (tilt).they also allow the operator to change the view on the camera with a zoom lens, closing in on smaller areas of the subject field. Full-size cameras-this type of camera is a traditional Box camera. Network Cameras-Network cameras are the newest type of cameras in the security industry. instead of the traditional video output from the back of camera, this camera connects directly to a computer network.

Basic Terms and Concepts Illumination

Light Units-Lux [lx]Light unit for measuring illumination. It is defined as the illumination of a surface when the luminous flux of 1 lumen falls on an area of 1m. It is also known as lumen per square meter, or metercandelas.

Basic Terms and Concepts

Resolution Resolution is the property of a system to display fine detail. Vertical resolution The vertical resolution is defined by the number of vertical elements that can be captured on a camera and reproduced on a monitor screen. Horizontal resolution The horizontal resolution is defined by the number of horizontal elements that can be captured a camera and reproduced on a monitor screen.

Resolution
1920 * 1080 (1080P/HD) 1280 * 720 (720P/HD) 720 * 480 (480P/D1/SD) 320 * 240 (240P/CIF)

Resolution Description

Basic Terms and Concepts

Frame Rate No of separate images or frames that is displayed over given period of time NTSC 30 fps PAL 25 fps Recommended recording FPS is 10 -15 fps.

Basic Terms and Concepts Field of View

Extent of the area captured by the camera Angle of View The angle formed by the 2 lines from the secondary principal point to the image sensor

Focal Length the distance between the secondary principal point and the focal point (image sensor) determines the focal length of the lens.

Fnumber

CCTV Camera Specs

SNR Signal-to-noise ratio. The SNR relates how much stronger a signal is than the background noise. Usually expressed in decibels (dB)

CCTV Camera Specs Dynamic Range

Ability to see both the very bright and very dark at the same time

Wide dynamic range

Night Vision

Image Scanning
Interlaced- Rotates between odd fields and even fields every 30th of a second Progressive- Display both odd fields and even fields at the same time (Better image quality and less motion artifacts)

CCTV Camera Specs

C and CS Mount C and CS mount camera is the positioning of the pickup element. A C-mount camera sets the lens at a distance of 17.526 mm away from the pickup chip. Whereas, A CS-mount camera sets it at 12.526 mm. So there is a 5 mm difference between the C and CS mount. For instance CS-camera works with CS-lens, Ccamera works with C-lens, and CS-camera with C-lens if we add a 5 mm extension ring.

CCTV Camera Specs Iris

small aperture through which light must pass before it can strike the light-sensitive target inside a camera. In low light, for example, the aperture is fully opened and in bright light, it will nearly be closed.

CCTV Camera Specs

Fixed-Iris and Manual-Iris Fixed-iris and manual-iris lenses can be used in situations where the light essentially stays the same all of the time. Auto-Iris Lenses A lens with an auto-iris feature should be used in environments where the light intensity can vary from minute by minute, hour by hour, or day by day.

Storage Capacity Calculation

General Equation in estimating the total amount of storage

Where: Size = Image size in kB fps = Images per second C = Number of cameras in the system Hours = Total number of operational hours in a 24 hour period TR = Retention period 3,600 is to convert seconds into hours (60 x 60) 1,000,000 is to convert kB to GB

Storage Capacity Formula

Example 1:A CCTV system is being specified for a custody suite that is required to capture a 1080p high quality images with H.264 compression. 12 frames per second are being generated and there are 8 cameras in the system. Each camera is recorded for 24 hours per day, and the OR has stipulated a retention period of 31 days. 41.5 x 12 x 8 x 24 x 3,600 -------------------------------- X 31 = 10.67TB 1, 000, 000

DIVA VMS FaceR

isolate faces from video images and digitize them into metadata. Metadata points are placed on eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. The found face print can be compared with the person lists (black- or white list). W With a match or mismatch an event can be created. Besides comparing face prints with the person lists, risk profiles can be programmed to detect people returning within a pre-defined period. All these events can be used to trigger macros from other components.

casings

Power and directivity Without obstructions and with high intensity and beam focus, RF can travel long distances As a general rule of thumb, if you see light through obstruction you can connect with a radio.

Advantages of multiple antennas Resistivity to fading (quality) Increased coverage Increased capacity Increased data rate Improved spectral efficiency

Multiple antenna systems

Spatial Diversity - transmission more robust - no increase in the data rate - redundant data on different paths. Spatial Multiplexing -not intended for transmission more robust - It increases the data rate Beamforming -method used to create the radiation pattern of an antenna array - Strengthen the receive signal level.

Mimo technology
Multiple input multiple output Each RF flow carries different information at any given time Multipath reflections which are created by RF waves bouncing off water and buildings now increase SNR because the signal can be received at 1 of 3 antennas so deployment in cities and over water are simpler.

OVERVIEW ABOUT OFDM OFDM was invented more than 40 years ago. OFDM has been adopted for several technologies:
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) services. IEEE 802.11a/g, IEEE 802.16a. Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB). Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcast: DVD in Europe, ISDB in Japan 4G, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.16, and IEEE 802.20.

FDM OFDM
Frequency Division Multiplexing

OFDM frequency dividing

50% Overlap of Adjacent Channels Available bandwidth is Used Twice

Ofdm and mimo improves nlos capabilities LOS both visual LOS and and clear radio LOS nLOS clear visual LOS but the radio LOS is blocked NLOS both visual LOS and radio LOS are blocked

Multipath and reflections

Certain conditions such as flat or reflective surfaces can cause certain portions of signal to arrive later than another and/or out of phase of the main signal Prevent: raise/lower either of the antennas or relocate the antenna to another area. Always avoid installing in situations where a radio link will traverse large flat, reflective surfaces. No longer an issue with mimo and diversity

Concept of interference Interference is the reception of signal from sources other than the intended source. The source of interference may be anything producing from electromagnetic signals Excessive interference can degrade the integrity of radio link

Co-Channel and Adjacent Channel Interference Co-channel interference (CCI) comes from another AP located on the same channel
Ex. AP next door Ex. Neighboring cell

Adjacent channel interfence (ACI) comes from an AP on an overlapping channel

Ex. I am on channel 1, another AP is on channel 2 Can be more worse than (CCI)

Key to succesful design

#1) It starts with RF Quality. Everything else is secondary Good Link Quality = Good network Throughput Design Rule: Need -70dBm RSSI or better to achieve Max. throughput Throughput determines number of applications, and specifically the number of application devices, i.e., CAMERAS, that the ptp/mesh/wimax network can support. Design Rule: Max. radio to radio throughput ~ 22 Mbps (TCP) or 32 Mbps (UDP)

Finding the right signal

Too high - RSL should never exceed -30 dBm and may cause damage above this level - Imagine talking to each other with megaphones - Fix: lower gain antenna, attenuation Too low RSL should always be 15 dB higher than the receivers sensitivity for the desired modulation. -imagine someone whispering Fix: higher gain antennas, higher power or repeater
