When the Axis inventor team launched Lightfinder, it changed the surveillance camera market completely, allowing forensic detail in low-to-zero light conditions. But how did the team bring colour to a greyscale world? Two of the people who worked in the core team of this invention and who were part of the development process right from the beginning gave an insight into the whole experience. Axis Lightfinder technology provides a network camera with extreme light sensitivity.
In very low light, where other cameras would switch to night mode and grayscale video, cameras with Lightfinder stay in day mode and keep delivering colour. Being able to see colour even during the night may be the crucial detail that helps to identify a person or vehicle. Cameras with this technology need less light to produce good footage, which results also in shorter exposure time. This keeps the blur and noise in the images to a minimum.
