Smart CCTV Ltd: Olympic Stadium Webcam Gives The Wider Picture

Smart CCTV Ltd, a specialist in video analytics, has supplied a special wide angle, 5 megapixel IQeye IP camera to Essex Security Services Ltd as an Olympic Stadium Webcam installed for H.Forman & Son, the world-renowned salmon smokery based in Fish Island, Stratford, East London. The webcam can be viewed by the public at

Smart CCTV Ltd specified the IQeye750 Series Day/Night, 5 Megapixel IP camera and adjusted the settings to obtain the best picture quality. The camera's high resolution allows viewers to zoom in closely to selected scenes. Due to the short distance of approximately 100 metres between the Olympic site and the camera's mounting position, a Lensation lens was chosen that enables a particularly wide angle of view at 52.6 using just one camera.

The IQeye camera delivers low-bandwidth video images to a server for remote viewing, whilst simultaneously recording megapixel images onboard the camera.

Essex Security Services Ltd wanted to create a time-lapse video, so Smart CCTV's application engineers customised the camera's software code to record a photograph at 2pm every single day of one particular scene, transferring the video image via FTP to the company's hosting server. In four years' time a film of the whole building process from start to finish will be created to coincide with the London Olympics in 2012.
