Overview of the Raytec Vario2 i8-2

The Raytec Vario2 i8-2 is an outdoor-ready double infrared (IR) illuminator that can be used alongside any IP camera that features infrared sensitivity to boost night-time surveillance. Part of Raytec’s Vario2 series, this high-performance unit also features Adaptive illumination and Hot-spot Reduction Technology (HRT).

With a 10° narrow beam angle and up to 500m of illumination, this unit is an ideal lighting solution when monitoring long distances at night. Supplied with 10°, 35° or 60° lens inserts, users can take advantage of the Vario interchangeable lens system to adjust the angle of illumination. Optional 80° or 120° lens inserts are also available if a wider angle is required (see dropdown menu).

Hot Spot Reduction Technology (HRT) helps to generate longer illumination distances and ensures that light is delivered to where it is most needed, all whilst preventing objects in the foreground from being overexposed. Additionally, this unit supports Platinum Elite SMT LED technology that works in tandem with a Cool Running Thermal management system to provide a powerful and reliable illuminator choice.

This unit also supports several green features such as power adjustment, telemetry control and a timer function - helping to keep energy costs down. In addition, an optional Vario remote control is available which allows for quick and easy setup from ground level, along with access to advanced features.
