A video capture device (analogue or IP) mounted inside the elevator cabin to record or transmit cabin images for security, monitoring, or remote diagnostics purposes.
Full Definition
Elevator cabin cameras range from legacy analogue (CVBS/AHD) units connected to DVR systems to modern IP cameras integrated into networked NVR platforms. Key specifications include image sensor size (1/3″–1/2.8″ CMOS), resolution (720p to 4K), field of view (≥100° for full cabin coverage), and low-light performance (≥0.01 lux for colour imaging). Vandal-resistant housings (IK08–IK10) are standard for public-access cabins. Analogue cameras require a coaxial pair in the travelling cable; IP cameras use Cat5e/Cat6 pair with PoE or separately powered. In smart elevator systems, cabin cameras may integrate with face-recognition destination dispatch, load estimation via computer vision, or anomaly detection AI. Distinction from CCTV: the term 'cabin camera' is broader and includes non-recording live-view cameras used by remote monitoring centres or passenger intercom video systems.
