The very latest I/R ARRAY’s are now here, classed as the 4th Generation of Infra-Red night Vision, you can find these incorporated into our range of models classified as our DOUBLE-ARRAY-BLACK. There are 4 varients using ARRAY technology, here is the basics– an equivalent of approx 200 LED’ s are combined into each array of which 2 or 3 ARRAY units are fitted into each camera dependant on what range is required, how intense the I/R requirement and also based on the lens fitted which must be I/R sensitive, I/R Cut Filters are an essential part of the system and let I/R out but filter any coming back in to minimize white out, the biggest breakthrough is the sheer black and white clarity of the images,,,, most I/R cameras are fitted with an I/R Unit which does not flood and hence gives a strong circle of light in the centre of the shot, manufactures can overcome this fitting at leas 72 LED’s to overcome the problem or using a Flood I/R Unit which reduces the I/R range to just a few metres…. The ARRAY III design offers seriously more LED equivalents combined with flood which results in a magically even I/R spread across the shot even when set to Wide angle, no more torch effect in the centre of the screen.
Ideal matching of I/R to lens is achieved with 2 x ARRAYS on 4 – 11mm lens units and 3 x ARRAYS on 9 – 22mm models , the latter offering up to 80 metres of I/R at a narrow shot setting, most buy this camera for a long range narrow night time shot, for maximum effectiveness an advanced OSD setup is included as a support for the 9 – 22mm lens and offers easy fine tuning using the small joystick switch under the Lower panel Cover.
Too much I/R at close range is helped by the I/R filters but what if all this power whites out the subject when not as close, this is cured by fitting an I/R power adjuster to each of the CAM50′s this allows the installer to turn down the I/R, all you will see is the small control which when turned anti clockwise reduces the intensity, how easy is that… a Socket with a Cable fitted with BNC sockets is supplied for a Test Screen or outputting to a Single screen.
