CCTV illuminators integrated with VMS
December 2013
System Integration & Control Systems Design
Raytec has integrated with Milestone’s XProtect video management system. This new range of Vario IP network illuminators is the first range of CCTV illuminators in the world ever to be integrated into a video management system. It allows the highest level of flexibility, management and control over lighting, in conjunction with all other network technologies in a security system, all from one central platform. The integration is made possible by Raytec Milestone plug-in software, available free of charge from the Raytec website through an online request form.
Controlled individually or in groups, Raytec network illuminators can be easily configured using the Milestone Management application to create a smart system that provides event-driven lighting. This is triggered by alarms from a camera, detector or other network device. Such illumination on detection of a subject, is highly effective in deterring crime and reducing a system’s running cost and environmental impact. The same illuminator can also provide a safe and well lit area for pedestrians or workers.
Users can also take instant manual control of any single illuminator or group of illuminators using the Milestone Smart Client during day-to-day operation. Advanced settings allow for user-defined lighting design to meet the requirements of any installation. Settings include individual or group control; power control from 20 to 100%; advanced timer functions; illuminator auxiliary output to trigger third-party devices; and override for instant manual control of lighting at any time.
