Engineering and economics of lighting for closed circuit television (CCTV) security alarm assessment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6011124
The study examines the economics and applicability of low and high pressure sodium sources in both streetlight and floodlight luminaires for CCTV illumination of high-security areas. In addition the signal outputs of several popular CCTV camera tube types operated in the presence of common lighting sources are calculated. These calculations take into consideration the spectral response of the camera tubes and the spectral output of the light sources. The results are presented in terms of dollars per unit camera signal strength and also camera signal strength per connected watt of electrical load.
