Agenda Who are iluminar? The Need for CCTV LightingHow to specify lighting for CCTV Lighting for Dome Cameras Lighting & PTZ Systems Illuminator Product RangeLicense Plate Recognition CamerasApplicationsSummary
Who are ? Established 2009 “illuminate” in Spanish Over 30 years industry experience Minority/Woman owned business Sales & Marketing Office in Sugarland, Texas Manufacturing Facility in Newcastle, UKSpecialist Manufacturer CCTV Lighting Invisible series illuminators Visible series illuminators License plate recognition cameras Manufacturing facility Newcastle, UK Sales & Marketing Office Sugarland, TX
Company mission “Supply high quality and reliable lighting and license plate recognition products to the CCTV industry, backed by unsurpassed customer service” Who are ?
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 purposesIP cameras need more light Megapixel cameras need more light Video analytics only works with good clean images
Types of Illumination Incandescent Bulb Fluorescent Lamp HID Bulb LED
LED or Bulb? Incandescent Bulbs Low cost10% efficient – 90% heat Require regular replacementHalogen Bulb Halogen 15% efficient – 85% heat Require regular replacement DrawbacksExpensive to operateExpensive to maintain
LED or Bulb? Fluorescent Lamps 40% efficient – 60% heatLasts 10-20 times longer than normal bulb DrawbacksProduces a “flicker”Contains mercury
LED or Bulb? HID Lamps 60-80% efficient – 20-40% heatGood color rendition except low pressure sodiumDrawbacksSlow start up
Why LED? LEDs 80-90% efficient – 10-20% heat Extremely low running costsExtremely long life 10 year in case of Durable and insensitive to vibration Uniform illumination Global shift in lighting from incandescent bulbs to LEDs
Operating Costs Cost Mains Driven Bulb iluminar LED Illuminator *** Electrical Consumption 500W 52W Cost of Consumption* $200 $21 Average Bulb Life 5 months 10 years Bulb changes per year 2.4 n/a Cost of bulb (approx.) $135 n/a Annual cost of bulbs $324 n/a Labor (changing bulbs)** $228 n/a Total Annual Cost $752 $21 SAVING OF $731 PER YEAR * Based on 4,000 hours use per year at 10c Kw /hr ** Labor cost calculated at $95 per bulb (time, equipment, lift, etc.) *** Based on IR919 IR illuminator
Operating Costs Operating costs per year (approx.) Mains Driven Bulb LED Illuminator iluminar Saving 5 units $3,760 $105 $3,655 10 units $7,520 $210 $7,310 20 units $15,040 $420 $14,620
Operating Costs Potential saving on 1 illuminator of $731 per year Over ten years this is a potential saving of $7,310 Potential saving on 20 illuminators of $14,620 per yearOver ten years this is a potential saving of $146,200 LED based illuminators also provide increased site security as lighting is less likely to be “down”
What is Invisible Illumination? Active or near Infrared illuminationEnergy invisible to the human eyeVisible 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 illuminationNo light pollutionLonger range than visible light“Don’t illuminate those assets you are trying to protect”
Visible or Invisible Lighting? Infrared Illuminators 715-730nm Visible red glow 815-850nm Faint red glow 940-950nm Invisible Lower wavelength (<850nm) Longer distances but more visible Higher wavelengths (>940nm) Shorter distances but invisible
What is Invisible Illumination? IR148 13W 60 o Short Range Infrared Illuminator ON OFF
What is Invisible Illumination? IR312 26W 60 o Medium Range Infrared Illuminator ON OFF
What is Invisible Illumination? IR312 26W 60 o Medium Range Infrared Illuminator ON OFF
Visible or Invisible Lighting? White Light Illuminators White Light = Visible Light Illuminate area for color CCTV cameras Visible lighting for safetyProvide welcoming environment Deter crime by illuminating the area Multipurpose lighting - ‘ all the above’
What is Visible Illumination? WL220 26W 30 o Medium Range White Light Illuminator ON OFF
Visible or Invisible Lighting? Advantages Disadvantages Camera Type Suitable Visible Light Visible Deterrent Light pollution Color True color rendition Reduced distances (v invisible light) B/W Invisible Light Covert No deterrent factor Day/Night Longer Distances B/W No light pollution
How to Specify Lighting for CCTV Angle of illumination should match camera/lens angle Too narrowcamera will see bright spot in middle of scene contrast between light & dark areas on scene will be too greatToo wide wastes energy & reduces distance Table below shows the FOV angle for different lenses Fixed Lenses Varifocal Lenses Lens (mm) Horizontal FOV 1/3” CCD Lens (mm) Horizontal FOV 1/3” CCD 2.8 92 o 2.8-6 92 o - 44 o 4 64 o 3.5-8 78 o - 38 o 6 44 o 3.5-10 78 o - 27 o 8 38 o 4.5-12.5 60 o - 23 o 12.5 22 o 8.5-40 34 o - 6 o 16 17 o 10-30 20 o - 7 o 25 11 o 50 6 o
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
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
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 A rea Illumination
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
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
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 angleRequires 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

Anodized aluminum construction instead of painted Painted units insulate the heat sink; therefore, the units will run hotPressurized equalization vent fitted as standard Allows moisture trapped inside to escape, which prevents condensationPrevents seals from rupturing due to changes in pressureInterface connector as standard Photocell following contact & remote telemetry inputHigh quality polycarbonate lens that allows 90% transmissionPower & photocell sensitivity on the side of the unitEasier 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 ratedWidest range of PoE illuminatorsLargest selection of low voltage lighting Summary of Key Selling Features
