What is Rotakin Testing?
Overview
Image quality is measured against the Rotakin standard. The
Rotakin target was developed by Home Office Scientific
Development Branch as a means of auditing the efficiency of a
CCTV system. It consists of a human silhouette target 1.6m in
height. When the target fills the screen vertically it is said to be
100%R.
The quantity and location of cameras will be site specific. They
must meet the requirements identified within the O.R.
(Operational Requirement) procedure.
