Vizsec has been asked to improve night time image quality at the locations around Stockton, and its MD Ashwin Lal said the Raymax range is “a breath of fresh air” compared with alternative lighting options.
“Having worked for many years in the industry and used infrared lamps of all description and sizes, we have continually experienced problems with ongoing costs related to bulb replacement,” Lal said.
He said that for various customers costs had escalated to the point where the feasibility of installing IR lamps had been questioned, with the potential risk of reducing CCTV quality at night.
In one of its latest installations the local authority wanted to ensure the safety of children and prevent potential vandalism at a play area, particularly in the dark winter evenings, and needed clear, reliable images from its cameras.
“Fortunately we have now have the luxury of utilising the Raymax LED range of lighting,” Lal said. “These units are reliable, easy to install and align, and don’t cause over-exposed areas at the centre of the image which was a typical problem with the older bulb type units.”
