Bosch launches high performance LED illuminator

Bosch Security Systems has launched a high performance LED-based illuminator with rugged IP66 rated construction and a sleek design.

The AEGIS SuperLED is available in 850nm and covert 940nm infrared options, and is designed for the most demanding security applications.

Well suited to integrate with Bosch's Dinion cameras, the AEGIS SuperLED features Bosch's Constant Light technology which automatically controls and adjusts light output to compensate for LED degradation.

LED degradation can have a serious impact on an illuminator's effectiveness.

The optical output of a typical LED illuminator degrades by up to 10 per cent within the first few months and continues to rapidly decay over the specified life of the unit.

LED degradation causes reduced illumination range and poor night-time image quality.

This has been a problem highlighted by security consultants, installers and end users.

Constant Light technology is a feature in all of Bosch's AEGIS illuminators.

This technology means that the high quality, high definition night-time surveillance images achieved at the point of installation are guaranteed throughout the five year lifetime of the product.

AEGIS SuperLED illuminators feature Bosch's 3D diffuser technology (Black Diamond) which re-directs light from the foreground to the background of the camera's field of view.

This results in evenly illuminated night-time images, free from hotspots, over-exposure and vulnerable dark areas common with other illuminators.

Built-in power regulation means the AEGIS SuperLED can be powered direct from any low voltage power supply.

A special switch mode power supply is available for sites with mains power supply only.

AEGIS SuperLED illuminators will optimise the performance of any camera they are installed alongside, whether analog or digital.

The illuminator makes the most of IP platforms and intelligent video analytics by delivering high contrast, low noise night-time images that reduce network bandwidth requirement and cut down on false alarms.

AEGIS SuperLED offers long range surveillance capabilities of more than 300m, rugged IP66 construction and long life, low maintenance, surface mount LEDs.

AEGIS SuperLED is designed for critical, outdoor security applications like perimeter and utility site protection.

The sleek design of the product means AEGIS is equally suited for city center, commercial and high-end residential applications that demand discreet, aesthetically pleasing surveillance solutions.
