5
The Need for CCTV Lighting Most crime occurs during darkness All cameras need light to see Regular street lighting is not good enough Provide evidence for judicial purposes IP cameras need more light Megapixel cameras need more light Video analytics only works with good clean images
6
Types of Illumination Incandescent Bulb Fluorescent Lamp HID Bulb LED
7
LED or Bulb? Incandescent Bulbs Low cost 10% efficient – 90% heat Require regular replacement Halogen Bulb Halogen 15% efficient – 85% heat Require regular replacement Drawbacks Expensive to operate Expensive to maintain
8
LED or Bulb? Fluorescent Lamps 40% efficient – 60% heat Lasts 10-20 times longer than normal bulb Drawbacks Produces a flicker Contains mercury
9
LED or Bulb? HID Lamps 60-80% efficient – 20-40% heat Good color rendition except low pressure sodium Drawbacks Slow start up
10
Why LED? LEDs 80-90% efficient – 10-20% heat Extremely low running costs Extremely long life –10 year in case of Durable and insensitive to vibration Uniform illumination Global shift in lighting from incandescent bulbs to LEDs

14
What is Invisible Illumination? Active or near Infrared illumination Energy invisible to the human eye Visible to b/w cameras Light is measured in Nanometers (nm) Infrared light is 700nm - 1000nm Ideal source of illumination for security cameras:- Ideal as a covert form of illumination No light pollution Longer range than visible light Dont illuminate those assets you are trying to protect
15
Visible or Invisible Lighting? Infrared Illuminators 715-730nmVisible red glow 815-850nmFaint red glow 940-950nmInvisible Lower wavelength (<850nm) Longer distances but more visible Higher wavelengths (>940nm) Shorter distances but invisible

How to Specify Lighting for CCTV Angle of illumination should match camera/lens angle Too narrow –camera will see bright spot in middle of scene –contrast between light & dark areas on scene will be too great Too wide wastes energy & reduces distance Table below shows the FOV angle for different lenses Fixed LensesVarifocal Lenses Lens (mm)Horizontal FOV 1/3 CCD Lens (mm)Horizontal FOV 1/3 CCD 2.892 o 2.8-692 o - 44 o 464 o 3.5-878 o - 38 o 644 o 3.5-1078 o - 27 o 838 o 4.5-12.560 o - 23 o 12.522 o 8.5-4034 o - 6 o 1617 o 10-3020 o - 7 o 2511 o 506o6o
23
How to Specify Lighting for CCTV Select Angle of Illumination Following angles are available 10 o 30 o 60 o 100 o 120 o Select required Distance of Illumination As angle increases distance decreases Choose relevant Illuminator from Iluminar Distance Chart
24
Dual Mounting Bracket Infrared or White Light Illuminators Adjustable Illumination Doubles the Angle of Illumination (max. 240 degrees) Increases Illumination distance by up to 40% Mix-and-match illuminators
25
Lighting for Dome Cameras Problem: Providing lighting for PTZ dome cameras is a challenge for CCTV professionals as lighting cannot be fitted to move with the camera. Solutions: Wide Angle Illumination Target Area Illumination Local Area Illumination
26
Lighting for Dome Cameras Wide Angle illumination Wide angle illuminators covering 120° allow the full 360° angle of a dome to be covered with only 3 illuminators Use IL-DMB Dual Mounting Bracket
27
Local area illumination Illuminator fitted away from camera to illuminate the local scene Target area illumination Target specific points of interest such as gates or doorways Lighting for Dome Cameras
28
Lighting & PTZ Systems Problem: At long distances the lens is often zoomed in giving a narrow FOV At short distances camera pans to a wide angle Requires lighting to cover both narrow & wide angles Solutions: Provide lighting using twin lighting system mounted on PTZ camera (typically 1 wide & 1 narrow) Same solutions as for Dome Cameras Pelco Esprit with IR229-P Illuminators attached

41
Anodized aluminum construction instead of painted –Painted units insulate the heat sink; therefore, the units will run hot Pressurized equalization vent fitted as standard –Allows moisture trapped inside to escape, which prevents condensation –Prevents seals from rupturing due to changes in pressure Interface connector as standard –Photocell following contact & remote telemetry input High quality polycarbonate lens that allows 90% transmission Power & photocell sensitivity on the side of the unit –Easier for the installer to adjust after installation Photocell mounted on top of the unit –Photocell on the back of the unit causes the unit to come on at earlier times due to shadows and therefore wastes energy and life of the illuminator IP67 rated Widest range of PoE illuminators Largest selection of low voltage lighting Summary of Key Selling Features
