One of the ways that is aimed at reducing losses from fires is to detect a fire at the initial stage of its occurrence, which can be most effectively carried out only with the help of fire automation systems. The latter includes information and measurement systems (IMS) of fire alarm systems, which are part of the fire detectors. Fire alarms (FA) are triggered by the appearance of primary signs of fire, transmitting a signal to the fire alarm control and indicating equipment (FACIE) through the appropriate loop. The FACIE processes these signals and forms commands for further actions, for example, sending alarm signals (sound and/or light) by fire alarms to warn people of danger, transmitting alarm notifications to the fire station and/or centralized fire monitoring console, as well as enabling and/or disabling certain equipment or engineering systems (including fire protection systems). Fire alarm loops (FAL) are electrical circuits that connect the output links of the FA, which include auxiliary remote radio elements and conductors, and are intended not only for issuing notifications about their status to the FACIE, but also for supplying power to these detectors. The reliability of the functioning of such IMS directly depends on the correct choice, according to the appropriate methods, of the nominal value of auxiliary hinged elements of loops, problems that arise during the use of equipment from different manufacturers.

Comparative analysis of the criteria for designing video surveillance information systems was conducted based on international and national CCTV standards. Their greatest differences concern identification and recognition tasks, and the smallest -– monitoring and detection. A comprehensive analysis of the impact of the technical characteristics of video cameras on the results of solving CCTV operational problems has not been carried out at this time. Therefore, the current direction of research is to determine the maximum feasibility of using the formed set of criteria. Increasing the resolution of video cameras leads to an increase in the number of pixels per meter of linear field of view. This in turn improves the display quality of the surveillance object at a greater distance from the camera. With the emergence of new information technologies, the resolution of matrices in video surveillance systems will increase. It will lead to qualitative and quantitative changes in the established set of criteria for designing of CCTV information systems. The methodology of estimation of spatial resolution of images of video surveillance information systems (CCTV) is presented in this work. The theoretical foundations for analyzing a set of technical characteristics of video cameras are confirmed by the results of computer modeling using specialized software "IP Video System Design Tool". The overall discrepancy between the calculated and modeled data does not exceed 3%. As a result, it was found that the use of a 25 MP video camera satisfies and exceeds all currently existing criteria for designing CCTV information systems for solving various types of operational tasks and the possibility of human vision. Therefore, with the cheapening and widespread use of video cameras with a resolution of over 25 MP, it will be necessary to review the feasibility of using existing criteria for designing CCTV information systems.

У статті приведено результати аналізу шляхів підвищення ефективності систем відеоспостереження за недостатнього освітлення. Встановлено факт неузгодженості світлотехнічних параметрів відеокамер та інфрачервоних освітлювачів, що призводить до зменшення глибини і кута сектору спостереження. Описано аналітично взаємозв’язок їх параметрів та встановлено необхідні умови, за досягнення яких можна покращити ефективність системи. Подано рекомендації стосовно застосування освітлювачів, залежно від довжини їх хвилі випромінювання та поставленої оперативної задачі.
