Winner of the ‘IFSEC Best CCTV System of the Year’, Raytec’s range of VARIO network illuminators has now been extended to include PoE capability and four new model sizes in Infra-Red and White-Light.
Power over Ethernet allows for a much quicker and more cost effective lighting installation, the UK makers say. VARIO IP PoE illuminators can be integrated onto a network, with no local mains connections or special electrical labour required, the manufacturers say.
Operated via integrated web interface or VMS, VARIO IP PoE allows for remote set up, commissioning, operation and maintenance of a lighting scheme from anywhere on the network. Users have control over their lighting at all times to respond to live events in real time, triggering lighting to deter crime, or altering settings in response to operational changes for the best CCTV images and safety at all times.
An API is available for VMS integration, allowing operation of your lighting within your overall security system. A new HTTP API is also coming soon to allow for IP lighting via simple HTTP commands. The product can be controlled individually or in groups and triggered on demand via other network devicessuch as cameras or detectors, and scheduled using a timer for activation only when needed, to reduce electrical consumption even further.
The VARIO family of illuminators includes VARIO IP PoE – a CCTV illuminator to integrate into a VMS, and VARIO Hybrid, pictured, VARIO Lighthouse Kit and VARIO D-Zoom; visit www.rayteccctv.com.
