AXIS 221 Day & Night Network Camera
Light as perceived by the human eye ranges between wavelengths of ~400 -700 nm.
Infrared light exists in nature at higher wavelengths, which can not be perceived by
the human eye. IR light is filtered away in the camera by an IR cut filter in order to
render a ”human image”, AXIS 221 can thus produce high quality b/w pictures by
removing the IR cut filter when light conditions are too dark to render colors.

Progressive scan is used instead of the interlaced method found in analog CCTV
(PAL/NTSC) cameras. With progressive scan all pixels (lines) are captured at the
same time, enabling moving images to be presented without distortion.
Progressive Scan, all lines are
captured at the same time
Interlaced, 20 ms difference between
odd and even lines
