4062 Raytec’s next generation range of illuminators for video surveillance, Vario2, uses Platinum Elite SMT LED technology to provide more power and greater illumination distances from a smaller platform than Raytec’s last-generation illuminators. 

Covering ultra-long distances Vario2 illuminators enable video surveillance cameras to capture highly detailed images at distances up to 500m (1640ft) from a single illuminator, offering more flexibility to meet challenging installation requirements from both infra-red and white light illuminators.
Vario2 features an interchangeable lens system with hot-spot reduction technology (HRT), designed to ensure perfect lighting alignment and the most even distribution throughout the whole scene at all times.

Illuminators can be quickly and easily set up from ground level via a hand held remote control, or can be manually programmed when remote operation is not possible. Additionally, Vario2 offers PIN code authentication to protect access to the settings, and both the remote control and manual programming inputs can be disabled.

    EdgeVis removes bandwidth barriers to mobile streamed video
    A new generation of video compression can lower transmission costs of data and make streaming from mobile and body-worn cameras a reality, as Colin Sowman discovers. Bandwidth limitations have long been the bottleneck restricting the expanded use of video streaming for ITS, monitoring and surveillance purposes. Recent years have seen this countered to some degree by the introduction of ‘edge processing’ whereby ANPR, incident detection and other image processing is moved into (or close to) the camera, so
