1. This image shows an interior scene, at night. The only illumination is the Magnum Flashlight (3 D cell, halogen bulb). As the subject moved around the room, the light from the flashlight occasionally bounced off bright surfaces. This backscatter provides the only light on the subject’s face. In this image, the light is reflected off the side of the computer monitor shown. Lux levels varied from 80 lux in the center of the flashlight beam, 10 lux just off center but still in the beam, to 0.3 lux on the subject's face. Camera: IQeye301, lens 12mm Computar megapixel F1.4. LIGHTGRABBER set at 4X (2X is factory default, the main difference between the settings is increased digital frame integration).

2.Exterior scene, taken at night at a public high school. Illumination is mainly from exterior industrial flourescent lights. Notice the parking lot in the background, where sodium lights cast a yellow glow on the parking blocks. Lux levels not recorded. Camera: OKIQeye, lens 12mm to 36mm varifocal Computar megapixel F2.8. Image settings include an exposure window set in the middle third of the image, horizontally edge to edge to keep the camera from exposing for the bright areas at the top of the image, other settings at default.

3. Exterior scene, taken at night at a public park. Illumination is exterior metal halide lights. Inside the racquetball courts you can see an orange glow from normal incandescent lighting. Lux levels not recorded. Camera: OKIQeye, lens 12mm to 36mm varifocal Computar megapixel F2.8. Image settings at factory default.

Bandwidth Management

IP video is data - and no matter how you slice it, moving data around a network and storing data on hard drives costs money. Bandwidth management is an essential skill in designing cost effective IP video systems. OKIQinVision has been producing megapixel IP cameras since 2000, and we have a mature set of bandwidth management tools available to the system designers and installers.

Intelligent Cropping - odd aspect ratios - images that capture only what you care about. Stop spending money storing useless videos of trees and grass, when all you need is the road (or the doorway, or the aisle). Break the boundaries of that 4:3 CCTV box, and save money!

Bandwidth Throttle - you can set a limit for each camera, no matter what it will not transmit more data than you specify.

Storage Throttle - OKIQlibrarian allows you to set a maximum for disk space usage. When you are using OKIQlibrarian for recording on inexpensive network hard drives, you can set a ceiling on the amount of disk used. When the limit is reached it will either begin overwriting the oldest video, or stop recording and notify you via email and live view page alerts, your choice.

Resolution and Frame Rate on Event - Using OKIQlibrarian, you can transmit and record video at low resolution and low frame rates, then switch to high resolution and frame rates when events occur. Pre event images are also available at the higher resolution and rates, so you never miss the action.

Reduced Camera Counts - multi-megapixel images allow you to replace many conventional cameras with one ultra high resolution OKIQeye. One large image that covers the same field of view as two or three smaller images actually uses less space - due to the efficiency of compressing one large image file.
