Why infra-red lighting

by Mark Rowe

The larger a CCTV system becomes, the more important it is to use LED illuminators as the cost savings are multiplied, says the CCTV distributor Cop Security. The zero maintenance of LEDs is another benefit on large systems. To raise standards, all CCTV should be designed for 24 hour surveillance, not just daytime operation. To be truly secure, a site must be protected night and day, the distributor says.

Cop can offer two ranges of IR Illuminators, IRLAB and Cop Security’s own range. Both ranges offer high powered LEDs to enable night time images, even in the most demanding circumstances, it’s claimed. Both ranges offer the same features as other leading IR illuminator manufacturers, according to the firm.

The IRLAB range offers illuminators that can cover distances from 25 metres up to 200m over angles from 30 degrees to 120 degrees; while the Cop range can cover distances from 60m to 350m over angles from 10 degrees to 120 degrees.

The Cop range also features a trigger input and output, enabling you to link multiple units together on a single site. This means that all of the units will trigger simultaneously and work together.
