Abstract
Up to now the IAEA's Safeguards Surveillance Programme has been based upon 8 mm film camera systems. As this type of equipment availability is controlled by the needs of the amateur market, the Agency is forced to follow the changing world trend in replacing film with video. The eventual substitution of film with video systems should be influenced by two design approaches, namely integrated systems, resembling physically the present film cameras, and or remote camera-control unit systems. This paper will describe experiments being carried out on both types by some Member States as well as the Agency's activities in this field.
