Test Methods for Monitoring Cameras

Release Date:2024-12-20 Source:www.antovt.com

 

1.Testing of Color Reproducibility

 

A color monitor should be selected for testing this parameter.

 

Firstly, observe people and clothing from a distance to see if there is any color distortion.

 

Compare objects with bright colors and observe the sensitivity of the surveillance camera.


Place a color brochure in front of the dome camera to see if the image is clearly outlined, whether it is too

light or too dark. Then, capture moving colored objects to see if there is any color tailing, delay, blur, etc. 


The testing conditions are as follows: when the latest illumination of the camera is 50V, it should be

measured at 5010V illumination, that is, ten volts should be added to the latest illumination of each monitoring

camera, and the aperture should be kept in the closest state.

 

 

2. Measurement of clarity

 

When testing surveillance cameras, the same lens should be used (recommended to use fixed focus and

two variable lenses), with the center circle of the test card appearing on the left and right sides of the monitor

screen as the standard. 


They respectively represent vertical clarity and horizontal clarity, and a corresponding set of lines has

been given.there are 350 lines vertically and 800 lines horizontally, it is best to use a black and white monitor

at thistime.


During testing, it is possible to focus on distant objects or focus while measuring. It's best to use both,

as you can see the difference between this camera (focusing on distance). 

 

 

3. Illumination

 

Place the surveillance camera in a dark room with active 220V self igniting lights in front and behind.

 

Install a voltage regulator to adjust the brightness of the lights in the dark room. The voltage can be

adjusted from 0V to 250V. 


Indoor maximum to record the lowest illuminance value (the active light can be dimmed with a

voltage regulator to make it difficult to see the built-in image in the darkroom), and then the aperture

can be set to the minimum to record the lowest illuminance value. The front and rear lights can also be

adjusted to turn on and off separately. 

 

 

4. Backlight compensation for surveillance cameras

 

There are two methods to test this parameter: one is to turn on the voltage regulating light on the

front side of the camera in a dark room, set it to the brightest, and then place a picture or text below the light.


Place the monitoring  camera in front of the light to see if the image and text can be seen clearly and if the

image is not dazzling. Adjust the AL and AX toggle switches to see if there is any change. Which one has the best

effect. Another way is to shine   the camera out of the window in sufficient sunlight, and see if the images and

text can be seen clearly. 

 

 

5. Power consumption of monitoring cameras 

 

The minimum working voltage is measured using a multimeter to measure the current, and a small voltage

regulator is used to adjust the voltage. In security systems, image generation mainly comes from CCD cameras. 


CCD is short for charge coupled device, which can convert light into charges and store and transfer them.

 

It can also retrieve stored charges to change the voltage.


Therefore, it is an ideal camera component, and CCD cameras composed of it are widely used due to their

small size, light weight, immunity to magnetic fields, and resistance to earthquakes and impacts.

 

 

6. Distortion of surveillance cameras

 

To check for distortion in the surveillance camera, place the test card at the front of the camera so that the

entire sphere appears on the screen. 


Check for ellipses in the sphere shape, move the camera forward to see if the center of thecircle is enlarged,

and then test for curved distortion in the edges, corners, and frames from a distance.
