Before introducing the Lightfinder technology produced by the manufacturer Axis, it is essential to emphasize the importance of video monitoring in color and how this technological aspect can be a differentiator for your project.
Colors
Capturing and analyzing environments via video in color is not merely a technological luxury but a decisive factor when it is necessary to investigate and analyze the smallest details.
Thanks to advanced technologies today, recording with this type of resource is common, as there are millions of camera models on the market capable of performing good captures in high-quality resolution and color. This allows, for example, that in investigation projects, suspects can be identified by the colors of the clothes they were wearing at the time of the event.
However, many camera brands begin to lose their quality significantly when their equipment is exposed to low-light environments. There are resources like infrared that assist in capturing movement in the dark; however, the market lacks equipment that can monitor with quality and color in poorly lit places, which is where Lightfinder technology makes a difference.
Lightfinder
Axis Communications' Lightfinder technology utilizes a combination of extremely sensitive sensors, algorithms, and image processing to enhance monitoring and provide high-quality color and light capture in near darkness.
In the article about lighting, we defined the unit of measurement for light known as "lux"; you can read this article by clicking here.
Axis cameras with Lightfinder can detect colors and a considerable resolution for investigation in environments of up to 0.02 lux (to give you an idea, a moonlit night has about 0.1 lux).
This technology allows the camera to achieve better accuracy and quality than the human eye in low-light environments. See below a demonstration video from Axis:
In addition to all these advantages, a camera with Lightfinder technology can also assist in the process of freezing images, allowing greater focus and visibility of moving objects and people.
