Video Stabilization

Security Cameras Shake

Videos from Security cameras often shake. Shake comes from many sources and is amplified by high-power zoom lenses. Swaying buildings, wind-driven locations, cameras mounted near machinery or Heating Ventilation Air Condition, PTZ servos and of course all mobile applications – they all generate shaky and unsteady videos.

Steady is more than beauty

Removing the shake has more benefits than the obvious professional look for the installation:

• A steady video shows cleaner details. Sharp details are a requirement for good and high quality security video.
• Steady video is less fatiguing to watch. Keeping the operator alert is a major challenge in real-life security CCTV. A simple change like a steady image helps a lot to meet this challenge.
• Steady video compresses better. Modern digital compressors use a lot of bits to encode moving features of a video. If the whole image shakes, it is all moving. This wastes an enormous number of bits. Remove the shake and digital recorders store more video. For the same reason, stable images have higher compression and quality for remote and Internet viewing.
