This document provides guidelines for using Surveon camera specifications in project bids or requests for proposals (RFPs). It outlines Surveon's unique camera features and how to compare them to competitors' products. Tables are included to filter camera models and copy desired technical specifications into an RFP for potential customers. The goal is to highlight Surveon's advantages for various lighting conditions, image quality metrics, and encoding capabilities over other brands.

• A university in Korea plan to renew their cctv systems to
megapixel solutions. They need 60 outdoor dome, 30 box
cameras and 10 speed dome for a 30 days & 24 hours
recording. How you help them to define the specifications
for all the cameras?
