In this paper we present current progress in development of new observational instruments for the double station video
experiment called MAIA (Meteor Automatic Imager and Analyzer). The main goal of the MAIA project is to monitor
activity of the meteor showers and sporadic meteors. This paper presents detailed analysis of imaging parameters based
on acquisition of testing video sequences at different light conditions. Among the most important results belong the
analysis of opto-electronic conversion function and noise characteristics. Based on these results, requirements for image
preprocessing algorithms are proposed.
