LIDlight Vandal-Proof Surveillance Illuminator

Ultimate Security: The Importance of IP & IK Ratings for a Vandal-Proof Surveillance Illuminator

The Importance of Protection in Surveillance Lighting Vandal-proof surveillance illuminators are essential for ensuring clear and effective security monitoring in various environments. However, without proper protection, environmental factors such as dust, water, and vandalism can degrade their performance and lifespan. Understanding IP (Ingress Protection) and IK (Impact Protection) ratings helps in selecting durable external illuminators that can withstand harsh conditions and potential tampering. What Are IP Ratings? IP ratings define an electronic device’s resistance to solid particles (dust) and liquid ingress (water). They consist of two digits: First digit (solid protection): Measures resistance to solid objects like dust. Second digit (liquid protection): Indicates the level of water resistance. Common IP ratings for ANPR/ALPR illuminators and surveillance lighting include: IP66: Dustproof and resistant to powerful water jets. IP67: Dustproof and can withstand temporary immersion in water. IP68: Fully dustproof and capable of prolonged submersion in water. Why IP Ratings Matter for Weatherproof Illuminators Outdoor weatherproof illuminators must endure severe weather conditions, from torrential rain to dust storms. A product with an IP68 rating, like the LIDlight Vandal-Proof Surveillance Illuminator, ensures continuous operation without failure, making it ideal for ANPR/ALPR and security surveillance applications. What Are IK Ratings? IK ratings measure a device’s resistance to mechanical impact, graded from IK00 (no protection) to IK10 (highest level of protection). IK07: Resists impact up to 2 joules (500g dropped from 400mm). IK08: Resists impact up to 5 joules (1.7kg dropped from 300mm). IK10: Withstands up to 20 joules of impact (5kg dropped from 400mm), ensuring the highest level of protection. Why IK Ratings Matter for Impact-Resistant Illuminators Vandalism is a serious concern in high-risk areas. Criminals often target security devices, attempting to disable impact-resistant illuminators before engaging in unlawful activities. IK10-rated illuminators offer superior resistance to physical attacks, preventing intentional damage and ensuring long-term functionality. LIDlight Vandal-Proof Surveillance Illuminators: Engineered for Maximum Protection LIDlight’s surveillance illuminators are designed with IP66+ waterproofing and IK10 impact resistance, making them the optimal solution for outdoor security lighting. To showcase our product reliability, we provide an LE32 IK10 impact test video and an LM48 IP test report from SGS for verification.   Dust Test for IP68 Certification Waterproof Test for IP68 Certification IK10 Impact Test – Strike PointsIK10 Impact Test – Strike Point IK10 Impact Test – Strike PointIK10 Impact Resistance Test in Action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAKhwgjdLU Key Benefits of LIDlight Illuminators: Reliable in Extreme Conditions: Operates in heavy rain, dust storms, and complete submersion scenarios.

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

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

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. 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 https://youtu.be/oK-wGOux1qw 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: 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. 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. Watch video Why Choose LIDlight’s CVA Tech? LIDlight’s high speed ANPR/ALPR illuminator with CVA Tech is designed to meet the demands of both license plate recognition and surveillance.
