The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.

1. Video surveillance apparatus for monitoring a region illuminated by gas discharge lighting, comprising:
a linescan camera, said linescan camera viewing a vertical line in the monitored region, said linescan camera operating in a time-delay-integration mode with a multitude of light sensitive columns, said linescan camera operating with a line rate; and
a scanner, said scanner sweeping the viewed vertical line horizontally across said monitored region in synchronization with said time-delay-integration mode of said linescan camera;

wherein said line rate is substantially equal to twice the number of said light sensitive columns multiplied by the frequency of the power source driving said gas discharge lighting divided by an integer greater than zero.
