During the early hardware scouting phase for security, automotive, or robotics projects, I get hit with the same question at least three times a week: "Should we source an F1.0 large-aperture lens for a 'Blacklight' full-color system, or stick to a traditional Infrared (IR) illumination setup?"
Read MoreThe surveillance industry loves talking about AI. AI detection. AI perimeter protection. AI behavioral analytics. AI everything. But here’s the uncomfortable truth most camera marketing avoids: if the lens cannot deliver photons cleanly to the sensor, the AI downstream is basically trying to i......
