Discrimination Level
Definition
Specifies a capacity to recognize a target of interest according to a given level of discrimination.
You can use video for identifying a wide range of detail, from motion detection to positive identification of a person for forensic evidence.

Select a video system that conforms to the requirements the application needs, without over- or under- specifying the system.
