IPCS Word(s) of the Day: Progressive Scan
June 30, 2008 by Garrett Smith
Progressive Scan = The process whereby a picture is created by scanning all of the lines of a frame in one pass. Many analog surveillance cameras use Interlaced Scan as opposed to Progressive Scan, and are not good at capturing moving objects with clarity. Most IP cameras use Progressive Scan, making them superior for tracking and capturing moving objects, such as a license plate on a vehicle.
