c. For detection purposes – the figure should cover at least 10% of the screen height

d. For monitoring purposes – the figure should cover at least 5% of the screen height

  • For number plate recognition, the recommended screen image representation

must be at least 50% of the screen height.

display screen

  • the number of cameras per display screen will depend primarily

drives like CD/DVD/Blu ray Recorders or any other device in a format

which can be replayed through a standard PC based software. Log of any such activity

should be maintained by the system which can be audited at a later date

  • The recorded video should be exported in its native file format (i.e. without converting between formats) to

maintain image quality and no additional compression should be applied during the export process

for NOT less than one (1) hour in case of power failure

  • The system must have a hot standby system with automatic changeover

in case of any fatal failure in the active system.
