In the wake of spring flooding in the UK, security systems are being deployed in a bid to minimise damage and provide an early warning system to residents. The lighting specialists Raytec, Mobotix and Farson Digital Watercams are three companies who have teamed up to provide a system designed to monitor river conditions in the UK.
Designed by Farson Digital Watercams, the HD camera network using Mobotix cameras provides real-time video feeds of multiple river sites 24/7. Raytec reports that its Infra-Red LED lighting is crucial to allowing the system to operate 24/7; even in hours of darkness.
With VARIO holographic lens providing even light distribution, the IR lighting allows the camera system to provide images of the scene at night, with zero light pollution.
The network camera system allows interested parties to view live footage of the rivers at any time, crucial the firms add for monitoring locations which are isolated or difficult to access.
Farson Digital Watercams also saw the energy and cost saving benefit in choosing LED illuminators. All Raytec illuminators provide a ten year life, have a low power consumption and low running costs. They also require zero maintenance. This has allowed them to make significant savings compared to other traditional high energy lighting the makers claim.
