Revolutionary CVA Tech in Security Lighting: Maximizing Brightness for ANPR/ALPR & surveillance

What is CVA Tech?

LIDlight’s Continuous Variable Angle Technology (CVA Tech) is an innovative optical solution designed to optimize both traffic ANPR/ALPR lighting and surveillance systems. Unlike traditional fixed-angle illuminators, CVA Tech allows for dynamic beam angle adjustment, ensuring the illuminator perfectly matches the camera’s field of view (FOV). This unique flexibility results in higher brightness, superior license plate recognition, and greater image clarity for both ANPR/ALPR and general surveillance applications.

High-performance ANPR/ALPR and surveillance lighting and security lighting with CVA Tech, delivering maximum intensity light for superior brightness, uniform illumination to prevent dark spots, and enhanced contrast for clear, high-resolution images.

Maximizing Brightness for the Best Image Quality

In both ANPR/ALPR and surveillance systems, lighting performance is critical for achieving clear, high-resolution images. CVA Tech enhances image quality by:

  • Delivering maximum intensity light for superior brightness.

  • Ensuring uniform illumination to minimize dark spots and overexposed areas.

  • Improving contrast and clarity, essential for accurate license plate recognition and surveillance footage.

With CVA Tech, you can trust that your ANPR/ALPR system and surveillance cameras will always capture the clearest possible images, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Flexible Beam Adjustment for Optimized Illumination

When installing cameras, adjusting the capture range to fit varying lane widths and distances is crucial. Many traditional illuminators use fixed beam angles, leading to inefficiencies in lighting distribution. However, with CVA Tech, you can:

  • Adjust the beam angle to precisely match your camera’s FOV.

  • Achieve higher brightness while maintaining uniform illumination.

  • Eliminate dark spots that often occur with fixed-angle illuminators.

  • Utilize our specially designed elongated illumination distribution to match the camera FOV more effectively, ensuring optimal lighting efficiency and performance.

This flexibility is beneficial for high speed ANPR/ALPR illuminator systems, security surveillance, and low-speed access control.

Comparison: Fixed-Angle vs. CVA Tech Illuminator

To illustrate the advantages of CVA Tech, consider a scenario where the camera FOV is 40° with a shutter time of 500s:

Comparison of a fixed-angle illuminator with a 60° beam angle covering a 40° camera FOV, resulting in wasted light outside the camera's field of view and reduced brightness.

Fixed-Angle

A fixed-angle illuminator must use a 60° beam angle to cover the entire FOV, leading to wasted light outside the camera’s range and reduced brightness.

CVA Tech

CVA Tech, on the other hand, precisely adjusts the beam to fit within the camera’s 40° FOV, ensuring that all light is effectively utilized for maximum brightness and uniformity.

By focusing the light exactly where it is needed, CVA Tech improves efficiency, enhances image clarity, and reduces wasted energy.

Single Illuminator for Varifocal Lenses

Most surveillance cameras use varifocal lenses, allowing for changes in focal length and zoom. However, conventional traffic ANPR/ALPR lighting solutions do not adapt to these changes, requiring additional illuminators to compensate. CVA Tech solves this problem by allowing a single illuminator to cover multiple focal ranges, reducing hardware costs while maintaining maximum intensity light for both ANPR/ALPR and surveillance applications.

CVA Tech in high speed ANPR/ALPR illuminator enables adjustable beam angles for optimal traffic ANPR/ALPR lighting and maximum intensity light performance.

Superior Image Quality at Any Angle

The clarity of captured images directly impacts the accuracy of license plate recognition and surveillance footage. Traditional illuminators often struggle with light dispersion, leading to inconsistent brightness and poor contrast. CVA Tech overcomes these limitations by:

  • Maintaining uniform illumination across the camera’s FOV.

  • Enhancing contrast for sharper plate recognition and surveillance imagery.

  • Ensuring high-speed readability, even for vehicles moving at 155 mph (250 km/hr).

This ensures that both ANPR/ALPR and surveillance systems perform efficiently in all lighting conditions, from bright daylight to low-light nighttime environments.

Cost-Effective and Energy-Efficient Design

A major advantage of CVA Tech is its ability to maximize energy utilization. Fixed-angle illuminators often require wider beams to prevent dark spots, which leads to wasted energy. CVA Tech minimizes light waste, providing several benefits:

  • Higher brightness with fewer illuminators, reducing power consumption.

  • Lower total system costs due to optimized efficiency.

  • Sustainable, energy-saving operation for long-term cost reduction.

Proven Success

Partnership with VIVOTEK

LIDlight collaborated with VIVOTEK to integrate our CVA Tech illuminator with their Dome cameras. When compared to conventional fixed-angle illuminators, our illumination output was measured to be twice as bright. This successful implementation highlights the superior efficiency of CVA Tech in delivering maximum intensity light while maintaining optimal energy utilization, ensuring clear and detailed images for ANPR/ALPR and surveillance applications.

LIDlight’s CVA Tech illuminator paired with VIVOTEK Dome cameras demonstrated twice the brightness of fixed-angle illuminators at 150m. This showcases the superior efficiency, uniform illumination, and maximum intensity light for ANPR/ALPR and surveillance systems.
