Buy IR illuminator for HD CCTV

If you wish to buy IR illuminator products for HD CCTV look no further than the Clarius range. Clarius are seen within the industry as the main source of competition to RayTec who have long dominated the market. How have RayTec done this and why are Clarius so hot on their heels? The simple answer is quality. Both manufacturers have ensured that quality is their primary goal. Longevity and reliability are key factors that ensure the end user can be more than satisfied when they decide to deploy either IR illuminators or White light illuminators to enhance their CCTV system to ensure quality images at night.

Of course with the white light version they have other uses giving targeted light to reduce light pollution and provide working light in many situations,  in fact every situation that requires a reliable, easily maintained lighting  solution.

The Clarius range of illuminators

So how have Clarius gained traction in the market place against their main competition? Mainly due to 4 compelling reasons. Firstly they have marketed their product well over the last 12 months. Secondly they have produced longer range units and an explosive proof version to boot. A third factor is the self cleaning lens, vital for reducing maintenance and keeping those ongoing costs down. Finally and most significant is the cost. This has been kept low and value for money is assured.

As the word spreads,  Claruis is fast becoming the benchmark in the industry, something that can only improve CCTV lighting choice for everyone.

White light illuminator ,IR illuminator

White light illuminator, IR illuminator or even halogen lighting. Which ever form of lighting you chose to compliment your HD CCTV system it is crucial to consider your CCTV lighting plan with the same level of thought as you choose your HD SDI cameras and your recording solution.
An HD CCTV system without an White light illuminator is like a conductor without his orchestra. One needs the other.  Without lighting you will not see anything and colour is impossible to reproduce. HD CCTV is far more sensitive to light levels than analogue and installers need to let their customers know at point of sale. Don’t just hope ambient lighting will be sufficient. It wont!
In response to the obvious need for CCTV lighting many HD SDI camera manufacturers are including IR illuminator LED’s within their camera unit itself. Anything from 12-96 IR LED’s can be seen fitted to many HD SDI cameras now depending on the distance the installer is trying to achieve. These cameras work well and we would recommend them , however there is always a scenario where a White light illuminator will be needed, this is of course where colour images at night are important.
Here at HD CCTV solutions we stock one of the most robust range of white light and IR illuminators on the market. Manufactured in the UK, these tried and tested CCTV illuminators are ideal where an HD CCTV system is being deployed.
So think CCTV lighting when designing HD CCTV systems and think White light illuminator for colour IR illuminator for covert lighting , easy to install highly cost effective and efficient and a compliment to any CCTV system you are installing.
