Technical Information

Camera is located on the roof deck of a ten-storey building in Prague 6 quarter. We use outdoor-ready HD camera AXIS P1344-E with 1 megapixel resolution.

Prague Castle and St.Vitus Cathedral are located at a distance of 3 km (approx. 2 miles) from the camera, the Zizkov TV tower at a distance of 7 km (approx. 4,5 miles). For this distance we used AXIS 5-50mm telezoom lens for megapixel HD cameras. Camera delivers color pictures both day and night.

Due to the long distance of the objects from the camera, the picture quality and visibility of the objects is weather dependent. Explicitly rain, snowfall and fog decreases the picture quality radically and the picture may even fully disappear.

This outdoor-ready camera has a rugged metal housing for dust, rain, snow and sun protection and can operate in temperatures as low as -40 °C. Temperature-controlled heating is present in the camera housing which warms up the space inside in frosty weather. Due to the heating, the camera's electronics operate in a good range of temperatures and it prevents steaming up of the glass lens window. The camera is powered using Ethernet cable.
