[Inspection Technique] Measures Against Wide-Angle Lenses of Network Cameras
A method to attach a telephoto lens to a low-cost network camera to turn the camera's characteristic wide-angle lens into a "targeted shooting" angle lens.
Recently, there has been an abundance of inexpensive network cameras available, which has allowed our EasyMonitoring2 system (a system that collects images from network cameras for tasks such as meter reading) to be implemented at a lower cost. However, this has also brought about certain issues. Specifically: - Most cameras have become of a type that does not allow lens replacement. - The predominant lenses are those designed to cover a wide area, which often results in significant image distortion (similar to fisheye lenses). Due to these trends, it has become challenging to capture images of meters from a distance using inexpensive cameras. Since the EasyMonitoring2 system connects to a large number of cameras, there is a demand for compact and affordable options. Therefore, we decided to test a method that allows for capturing images of meters even with low-cost cameras. *For more details, please refer to the related link (blog).
