9. www.axis.com What Level of Detail is Required? There are three main quality levels normally used to determine the image detail required for a camera: Detection: To detect the presence of a person in the image, without needing to see their face. Recognition: To recognise somebody you know, or determine that somebody is not known to you. Identification: To record high quality facial images which can be used in court to prove someones identity beyond reasonable doubt.
10. www.axis.com Historically with analogue systems these levels were defined using a percentage (%) of the screen height: Detection: What Level of Detail is Required - Analogue? 10%
11. www.axis.com Recognition: Historically with analogue systems these levels were defined using a percentage (%) of the screen height: What Level of Detail is Required - Analogue? 50%
12. www.axis.com Identification: Historically with analogue systems these levels were defined using a percentage (%) of the screen height: What Level of Detail is Required - Analogue? 120%

19. Pixel Density v Camera Resolution
20. www.axis.com You will always get a better pixel density from a higher resolution camera. True or False? It depends on the Field of View (FoV). If the FoV is the same, the higher resolution camera gives a better pixel density. If the FoV is different, a lower resolution camera may provide a better pixel density. Pixel Density v Camera Resolution
