Raytec VARIO2 POE I6-1 Infrared LED Illuminator, 200m Range

The Raytec VARIO2 POE I6-1 is a high-performance infrared LED illuminator engineered to provide superior night vision capabilities for professional surveillance systems. This unit is specifically designed to support network cameras, ensuring clear and detailed image capture in low-light or zero-light environments. By utilizing Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, the illuminator integrates seamlessly into existing network infrastructures, eliminating the need for a separate power supply unit and simplifying the overall installation process.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Raytec VARIO2 POE I6-1 is its efficient plug-and-play installation, which significantly reduces setup time and complexity. The device features advanced hot-spot reduction technology, which ensures even illumination across the entire field of view, preventing overexposure in the center of the image. Furthermore, the interchangeable lens system allows users to customize the beam angle to suit specific site requirements. Its robust construction makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, providing reliable performance in demanding security environments.

Suitable for

• Professional CCTV surveillance systems
• Perimeter security for commercial and industrial sites
• Night-time monitoring of large outdoor areas
• Integration with existing PoE-enabled network infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This illuminator is not suitable for environments that lack a PoE-enabled network infrastructure, as it requires this specific power delivery method to function. Additionally, it is not intended for use in areas where infrared light is visible to the human eye, as this is a dedicated IR device.

Key specifications

• Maximum operating distance: 200 meters
• Connectivity: Wired PoE
• Cable length: 2.5 meters
• Dimensions: 100 mm width, 66 mm depth
• Color: Black
• Technology: Infrared LED with hot-spot reduction

How to use

To use the Raytec VARIO2 POE I6-1, mount the unit securely in the desired location using the provided mounting hardware. Connect the device to your network infrastructure using a standard PoE-enabled network cable. Once connected, the unit will receive power and data through the cable, allowing for immediate operation. Adjust the interchangeable lenses if necessary to achieve the desired beam angle for your specific surveillance area. Ensure the unit is positioned to avoid direct obstructions that might reflect infrared light back into the camera lens.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network switch or injector supports the required PoE standard.
• Assess the required beam angle for your specific surveillance field of view.
• Ensure the mounting location is within reach of your existing network cabling.
• Confirm that your security cameras are compatible with infrared illumination.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, regularly clean the front lens of the illuminator to prevent dust or debris from scattering the infrared light. Ensure the device is positioned to cover the target area effectively without creating glare on nearby surfaces.
