If a surveillance camera is installed in an environment with fluorescent lighting, which effect may...

Fluorescent lighting can cause flickering effects in video due to the way these lights operate. Fluorescent lamps typically flicker at twice the power line frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz), which can interfere with the camera's frame rate and shutter speed, leading to visible flickering in the recorded video. This effect is more pronounced when the camera's exposure settings are not synchronized with the frequency of the lighting. Axis Network Video documentation discusses the importance of using cameras with anti-flicker settings or adjusting the shutter speed to match the lighting frequency to mitigate this issue.
