Abstract: Technologies for assessing a health condition of a light emission assembly and recalibrating the light emission assembly are disclosed. For example, health assessment and recalibration of an imaging system is performed by initially identifying absence of an object at the imaging system, before performing either the assessment or recalibration. For an imaging system having a weigh platter assembly and an off-platter detection assembly serving as the subject light emission assembly, the imaging system performs a health assessment of the detection assembly responsive to a zero weight condition measured at the platter assembly. The imaging system then selectively enters into recalibration, responsive to the health assessment finding a sufficiently degraded light intensity, by measuring reflected light from the detection assembly.

Abstract: A surveillance camera system capable of accepting any appropriate surveillance camera and video transmission option and is programmed to operate with a multitude of competitive communication protocols with minimal servicing required. The system can quickly convert and/or update the camera system to be able to transmit video data over coaxial cable, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), fiber optics or IP. A conversion from UTP to IP can convert the camera assembly into a network server for TCP/IP communication enabling the camera to be controlled locally or from any location over the internet using any installed network video protocol. The camera assembly with the ability to quickly configure the communication video interface via switch selectable on-board communication protocols.
