The Role of Smart Surveillance Cameras in Enhancing Day/Night Video Monitoring Systems
Installing smart surveillance cameras has become essential for both residential and commercial premises in a time when security is of the utmost importance. These cutting-edge gadgets are made to improve sight both during the day and at night, in addition to providing constant monitoring. The NIR USB camera, which uses near-infrared technology to enhance image quality in low light, is one of the most creative options available in this market. This article examines the important role that smart security cameras play in improving both daytime and nighttime video monitoring systems, with an emphasis on the features, uses, and special benefits that NIR USB cameras have to offer.
Benefits of smart surveillance cameras for day/night monitoring
Enhanced visibility with NIR USB cameras
Smart surveillance cameras equipped with NIR USB technology provide superior visibility in low-light environments. Traditional cameras often struggle in dim conditions, leading to grainy or unusable footage. In contrast, NIR USB cameras capture clear, high-resolution images by utilizing infrared light, allowing for effective monitoring even in complete darkness. This capability is essential for security applications, as it ensures that all activity is recorded without the need for additional lighting, reducing the risk of detection by potential intruders.
Cost-effective security solutions
The use of smart surveillance cameras, particularly those utilizing NIR USB technology, can lead to significant cost savings for businesses and homeowners alike. By enhancing night vision capabilities, these cameras reduce the need for expensive lighting systems typically required for traditional surveillance cameras. Moreover, with the ability to provide 24/7 monitoring, organizations can avoid costly security breaches that might result from insufficient visibility at night. This makes smart surveillance cameras a smart investment for anyone looking to enhance their security measures.

Infrared theory
(Idk if someone already noticed this, and I'm sorry if that's the case)
That's going to be a pretty long post, sorry about that.
Since the pilot drop, something in the color grading of the "gray world"'s scenes was troubling me. I couldn't really put my finger on it but something in how the light and the shadows were reacting to the movement felt wrong.
I did go to film school, but I specialized in video editing and 2D animation. So my first instinct was to think (wrongly) that it was du to post-production. I thought it was a weird choice they probably made in the color grading before removing the color (vibrancy/saturation) from the rush that create this weird rendering.
Firstly, this isn't bad, it's just, for someone like me (but probably everyone I guess) the images felt like something wasn't right but it's just a feeling because you can't actually explain what feels wrong with it. I don't know if I'm been clear right now, my apologizes.
I just saw the BTS picture Jeff posted, and it brought even more questions to me. Like their clothes IRL are as dark as Jeff's hair but in the video Jeff's hair are still black while their clothes partly went white.
At first, I thought they could have use rotoscoping on his hair but that would have needed a lot of time and the rendering would have probably had artefacts. I showed it to my boyfriend who works in cinema post-production (compositing) and for him it's clearly not rotoscoping. (please, the poor soul listens to all my HES ranting those past weeks, he's very patient with me 😭)
He asked me if I knew the camera they used which I clearly don't. But that made me think about something we saw in film school.
I'm not sure I remember correctly so feel free to correct me if I'm spilling bullshit right now. If you use a infrared light camera, to film in the dark, you can differentiate a natural dark head person and someone who colored their hair. A natural dark head person will be seen with dark hair on infrared but someone who used bleach at some point on their hair will look blond even if they colored it back to black after the bleach. Infrared light cameras perceive light we don't and react to texture differently.
So, I think they used a infrared light camera to film the gray world parts. The part of the guards' clothes that came out black look very matte in the BTS picture like faux leather while the white part seems like a cotton base fabric, that could have been bleach before been dye in black.
Like I said earlier, infrared are wavelengths of color that can't be perceive by human eyes. Those cameras reveal what's invisible for us.
So... if I may try to theorise this again. (All the theories I made recently were all wrong so don't take this seriously I guess) Humans like Anawin can't see the gray world, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I don't really know what to make out of this information but Damon could clearly come from a world where the colors aren't the same as in ours, which would also explain his appeal to painting and colorful stuff ( like the bright yellow bouquet). It could also explain the "Damon is partly or fully blind" theory, because his eyes aren't made to see the wavelengths of color we have in our world, like we would be completely blind in an infrared world. Or, maybe, he has been blind all his life in the gray world but not in our world, which made him fall in love with the colors of our world, and the infrared is here to highlight this.
#If Jeff really went this far as using infrared cameras to signify blindness well this man is clearly a genius#Yes I'm still hyperfixating on this pilot#My former college teachers would probably hate me rn#but I always had been better in video editing and scriptwritting than in all the technical camera courses#Happy Ending#happy ending series#happy ending pilot#Infrared#fan theories#jeff satur#thai series

WASHINGTON, Jan 29 (Reuters) — A batch of newly released images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope show in remarkable detail 19 spiral galaxies residing relatively near our Milky Way, offering new clues on star formation as well as galactic structure and evolution.
The images were made public on Monday by a team of scientists involved in a project called Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) that operates across several major astronomical observatories.
The closest of the 19 galaxies is called NGC5068, about 15 million light years from Earth, and the most distant of them is NGC1365, about 60 million light years from Earth.
A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was launched in 2021 and began collecting data in 2022, reshaping the understanding of the early universe while taking wondrous pictures of the cosmos.
The orbiting observatory looks at the universe mainly in the infrared.
The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990 and still operational, has examined it primarily at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths.
Spiral galaxies, resembling enormous pinwheels, are a common galaxy type. Our Milky Way is one.
The new observations came from Webb's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
They show roughly 100,000 star clusters and millions or perhaps billions of individual stars.
"These data are important as they give us a new view on the earliest phase of star formation," said University of Oxford astronomer Thomas Williams, who led the team's data processing on the images.
"Stars are born deep within dusty clouds that completely block out the light at visible wavelengths - what the Hubble Space Telescope is sensitive to - but these clouds light up at the JWST wavelengths.
We don't know a lot about this phase, not even really how long it lasts, and so these data will be vital for understanding how stars in galaxies start their lives," Williams added.
About half of spiral galaxies have a straight structure, called a bar, coming out from the galactic center to which the spiral arms are attached.
"The commonly held thought is that galaxies form from the inside-out, and so get bigger and bigger over their lifetimes.
The spiral arms act to sweep up the gas that will form into stars, and the bars act to funnel that same gas in towards the central black hole of the galaxy," Williams said.
The images let scientists for the first time resolve the structure of the clouds of dust and gas from which stars and planets form at a high level of detail in galaxies beyond the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud, two galaxies considered galactic satellites of the sprawling Milky Way.
"The images are not only aesthetically stunning, they also tell a story about the cycle of star formation and feedback, which is the energy and momentum released by young stars into the space between stars," said astronomer Janice Lee of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, principal investigator for the new data.
"It actually looks like there was explosive activity and clearing of the dust and gas on both cluster and kiloparsec (roughly 3,000 light years) scales.
The dynamic process of the overall star formation cycle becomes obvious and qualitatively accessible, even for the public, which makes the images compelling on many different levels," Lee added.
Webb's observations build on Hubble's.
"Using Hubble, we would see the starlight from galaxies, but some of the light was blocked by the dust of galaxies," University of Alberta astronomer Erik Rosolowsky said.
"This limitation made it hard to understand parts of how a galaxy operates as a system. With Webb's view in the infrared, we can see through this dust to see stars behind and within the enshrouding dust."

Testing out CSP Assets hehehe
The city can be pretty beautiful with enough distance and a nice view.
Oh. I forgot what kind of story this was.
She ends up short circuiting the main terminals and letting it crash into a processing facility. Then she takes a stress nap and worsens her insomnia.
#sera in her big girl suit- one she designed herself for once#Reddish Burgundy has always been her favorite color#And the gold comes from the suit's integration with her weapon#There's a very specific reason why all of her weapons are made of that “gold”#One of the rare times you get to see her back for once#That big weaponized drone is an OVR-S; also known as overseer sentinels. They are the eyes in the sky keeping count of everything for OS.#They are rarely used for combat due to the size and inconvenience in battle#but certain exceptions are made for threats like Sera.#She took something far too important from the main OS to be left with all her limbs in one piece and a head full of eyeballs#No opportunities will be wasted. Sera hates these because they rarely have a pilot and often take ages to hack into.#plus they fail spectacularly#one crash from these ships is enough to destroy a city district- they're easily the size of a football field#Even worse yet are the rotary blades used to rudder the ships. They could easily slice her in half- armor and all#She has thankfully managed to avoid dying to them thus far. they usually end up crashing into the ocean and ruining variant imports#sentinels will usually monitor under a more advanced cloaking than the kind given to protected variants#Just under the cloud cover. Sera's cloaking functions the same way if not better thanks to her personal touches on it#Hers is a mix of both illusion and cloaking. in an emergency she could technically walk into a human space as long as she isn't touched#she would be okay unlike most variants who have trouble fitting in because of the city's mandated infrared cameras.#suffice to say there's a lot of things going on in this city that most people- humans and variants alike are none the wiser about.#Seraphinatag#art#artwork#digital art#my art#my artwork#MY OCs#original character#OC#my OC#ark_systema

welcome to our town where you can chill and maybe die.
*only chill if you were born here. If you want to be a visitor you have to get special permission from the mayor, if you aim to get married fine (pretty sure they accept people with “good” genes 🤢) but if you only aim to visit (why?) then it’s 24 hours at most and any loss of limb or life is not the town’s responsibility!
#I feel the people who die the most are those cheesy ghost hunters#that’s what you get for trying to sneak in#with your damn infrared cameras and oujia boards#Croun#town lore#we wretched creatures

so after getting frustrated earlier we accidentally fell asleep but since waking up we've actually felt pretty good we're still really fatigued and don't feel great physically but I think we are doing better than over the rest of the week, and showering yesterday definitely made us feel better mentally, but I'm also trying to kind of take note of what's made us feel good today.
for example:
I spent a while researching conifers which was really interesting
we played Cloud Gardens for a couple of hours and that was nice and relaxing
we've done a decent job of keeping on top of journaling so far today including writing about stuff we're looking forward to and stuff we're proud of ourselves for
I managed to write a poem for the first time in a while
it's been really sunny which makes us feel better just in general but also meant we could take some near-infrared photos of our plants
also here are the photos as a bonus
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#happy posting#our photos#those photos are very grainy and that's because they were taking by holding the infrared lens up to our phone camera#and while phone cameras can detect infrared they aren't really built for this kind of photogaphy#but I actually really like the vibe that it gives
