Because of the location of the building site, at West Jesmond near Newcastle, the construction company was not allowed to use visible white light illumination, which would have caused a light-pollution nuisance for neighbouring properties.
Yet high quality night time CCTV coverage was regarded as essential in order to protect the site from intrusion and to guard against the risk of youngsters venturing onto the site and being injured.
Mac Security designed a robust, IP-based security solution incorporating external PIR intruder detectors and the latest Raymax infrared illuminators from Raytec.
Strategic coverage
The Raymax RM200 and RM300 units are designed to deliver optimum quality, even illumination for the CCTV cameras, and to be energy efficient and long lasting.
“The client is delighted with the level of protection that we’ve been able to give them – we have installed illuminators and cameras at strategic points all round the perimeter to give complete coverage of any activity on the site,” said Craig Foster, partner at Mac Security.
“Raytec’s units are proving very robust, the construction company security staff have a clear view of all areas – and in addition, management can view the site remotely via IP. The local authority is also satisfied because our system hasn’t caused any problem with light pollution.”
Long range and wide angle
The Raymax 200 is a high power infrared illuminator for long range applications or dome camera installations requiring wide angle lighting. Vandal-resistant, it boasts a range of up to 300 metres. The Raymax 300 has a range of up to 370 metres.
Both units feature Adaptive Illumination, which allows the installer to adjust the angle of the light projection from a single unit to fit the specific demands of any installation.
