Come out of the dark with Vista’s new IR cameras

Reading, UK
Vista has released a new range of Infra-Red (IR) cameras to compliment their popular VVRD4V9 vandal resistant domes.
Previously available as monochrome, colour and day/night options, the new IR day/night range further enhances the choice. Because the cameras come with 30 integrated LED IRs, no additional lighting is required for clear night-time viewing. The two built-in photocells trigger the IRs, matching the camera’s moving cut-IR filter to ensure that the LEDs are on when required and that the camera delivers optimum pictures. Because the built-in LED IRs are aligned with the camera on the 3-axis gimble, a perfect light source is guaranteed every time.
The integrated lighting also saves on installation time and complexity as there is just one unit to install, rather than a number of different items such as separate lighting, power sources, cabling etc.
The life expectancy of the VVRD LEDs is over 6 years in normal outdoor applications. If the LEDs do need to be replaced, the process is relatively quick, simple and cost effective.
"This new range of IR cameras is just part of our popular vandal resistant range which has proved to be incredibly rugged and reliable," says Andrew Pigram, Vista brand director. "We’ve spent a significant amount of time with the IR model ensuring that light produced by the LEDs gives good even light and doesn’t reflect back on the lens and interfere with the picture, giving users the best image quality possible in both day and night conditions."
