Lighting plays a critical role in network video performance, directly influencing image quality, detection accuracy, and overall system effectiveness. This white paper explains how factors such as light intensity, distribution, wavelength, and reflection impact surveillance results, emphasizing the importance of proper illumination design for both daytime and nighttime scenarios. LED lighting is highlighted as the preferred solution due to its efficiency, durability, and low power consumption, while infrared lighting enables discreet or long-range surveillance. Concepts like glare, brightness, beam patterns, and the inverse square law are explored to guide optimal placement and coverage, ensuring even illumination and reliable imaging across different environments.
