Raytec have launched a new range of Panoramic illuminators. The makers say it’s the latest development in ultra wide angle LED illumination for full scene CCTV images at night – from a single unit.
Historically, the company says, it has always been challenging to illuminate large areas from one lighting unit, without suffering a reduction in distance or a poor spread of light. Now, thanks to Raytec’s light distribution techniques, the new range of Panoramic illuminators offer a better spread of light and longer illumination distances, the makres claim. Panoramic illuminators are suitable the manufacturers say for PTZ or dome cameras covering large areas and also ide when matched with high definition, megapixel cameras fitted with wide angle lenses. The illumination allows detail even when zooming in over long distances, the company adds.
Available in Infra-Red and White-Light, all Panoramic LED illuminators use holographic lens technology to spread and control the light, creating a softer and more even distribution. Panoramic units feature Hot-Spot Reduction Technology (HRT), directing the light where it is most needed to minimise light waste, and to provide full scene coverage without hot spots caused by over-exposure.
The illuminators also feature an Adaptive Illumination system, which allows the angle of illumination to be adjusted on-site, anywhere from 60to 180 degrees to match the specific camera field of view.
