To the issue of functional efficiency of CCTV systems

The article considers the issue of ensuring the functional effectiveness of video surveillance systems. Indicators are proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of solving the main tasks of video surveillance. A description of Russian recommendations and European regulatory requirements for the detection, recognition and identification tasks is given, and a study is conducted to examine the objectivity of these requirements and recommendations. The results of the study indicate that the application of regulatory requirements does not guarantee an effective solution to the problems of detection, recognition and identification. To ensure the functional effectiveness of video surveillance systems, the authors of the article suggest designing the resolution characteristics of video cameras when designing. In the future, the authors plan to analyze methods for determining the resolution of video cameras.
