Initial laboratory evaluation of color video cameras
Sandia National Laboratories has considerable experience with monochrome video cameras used in alarm assessment video systems. Most of these systems, used for perimeter protection, were designed to classify rather than identify an intruder. Monochrome cameras are adequate for that application and were selected over color cameras because of their greater sensitivity and resolution. The increased emphasis placed on the identification objective of video security systems leads to the need to improve system designs and upgrade existing systems. Color information is useful for identification purposes, and color camera technology is rapidly changing. Thus, Sandia National Laboratories established an ongoing program to evaluate color solid-state cameras. This report describes test parameters and procedures and provides the results of an initial evaluation.
