Network video product manufacturer Axis Communications offers an infrared illuminator for outdoor versions of the AXIS P33 Fixed Dome Network Cameras.
The Swedish firm says that its outdoor-ready AXIS T90C Fixed Dome IR-LED enables the cameras to deliver high quality images by increasing visibility in darkness.
?With a sleek and compact design, the T90C IR-LED provides fixed angle illumination for all outdoor cameras in the AXIS P33 Series. The illuminator is controlled by a visible light sensor, which automatically turns the infrared light on when darkness falls. The product has pre-mounted cables and is available in two versions, one of which supports low voltage DC input; the other supports Power over Ethernet for easy installation.
“Axis’ accessory portfolio intends to make life easier for our customers, and the new AXIS T90C IR-LED is no exception,” says Phil Doyle, regional director, Northern Europe. “The new IR illuminator complements the AXIS P33 Series in installations where a separate IR illuminator is not feasible or is esthetically undesirable. The wall-mounted illuminator attaches directly to the camera for easy installation.”
The IR illuminator features eight LEDs which provide a wide-angle light beam giving the fixed dome camera a viewing range of 20 to 25 metres in complete darkness. Using the latest technology the new IR illuminator offers long-life performance, low power consumption of less than 15W, and requires no maintenance. The AXIS P33 Series and the AXIS T90C IR-LED operate in tough outdoor conditions and extremes of temperature, as they are IP66-, IK10- and NEMA 4X-rated. Axis says that the product is suitable for installations in airports, railway stations, for city use and for schools and campuses.
AXIS T90C Fixed Dome IR-LEDs will be available in Q1 2011.
