Readbeam
IRD60 is a modern IR illuminator designed for indoor applications
(ceiling-mounted). Its IR LED array provides IR light of 850 nm
wavelength, with radiation angle of 180o in vertical plane and 360o in horizontal plane, covering area up to 60 m2.
IR illuminators of Redbeam
series are modern devices for providing homogeneous IR light in the
monitored area in order to enable CCTV cameras to capture images in
low-light or no-light environments. The advantage of the series is
application of specially designed LED arrays (instead of conventional
set of diodes) which, together with optical lenses, ensures desired
operational angles and distances.
The
IR illuminators of the series, cooperating with day/night cameras, make
perfect sets for night surveillance. Their twilight sensors in
combination with high-efficiency IR LEDs provide very good results, with
relatively low power consumption.
A
typical IR LED provides output power between 5 mW and 15 mW, so, even
in the case of short operational distance, an IR illuminator has to
employ at least several such diodes. The Redbeam IRD60 illuminator
provides 1800 mW. This means a much larger coverage capacity, in spite
of the small size of the device.
Another
advantage of the arrays is the lifetime of the materials used. Standard
heavy-duty IR diodes operate around 6000 hours. In the case of the
arrays, the expected lifetime is about 50000 hours. It means that they
can work for over 10 years (12/24 cycle)!
The
casing is made of aluminum (black finish). To prevent overheating, the
body is formed as a radiator. For optimal results, the illuminator
should be mounted on the ceiling in the middle of a room.
