The new line provides powerful wide angle 180° illumination to allow the cameras to generate outstanding images at night, at distances of up to 150m and beyond – all from one illuminator. Panoramic Ultra’s performance achieves effective 360° surveillance with only two lighting units.

Visitors to Raytec’s stand were able to see the detailed night-time surveillance produced by Panoramic Ultra, with facial recognition and number plate recognition right up to 150m.

Raytec performs at the cutting edge of lighting technology, and their new Panoramic Ultra range of illuminators delivers double the power and 50% more distance than their previous generation of wide angle illuminators – which the company believes is unmatched elsewhere in the security industry.

Panoramic Ultra utilises the very latest high power LEDs with holographic lensing and hot-spot reduction technology (HRT) to achieve a much better spread of light and longer illumination distances compared to other illuminators.

Its holographic lensing spreads and controls the light for an effective even light output across the full width and depth of the scene with no dark or bright areas. The highly targeted elliptical beam pattern with HRT produces an angle of 180 degrees (horizontal) x 10 degrees (vertical) and focuses the light where it is most needed. This generates longer distances and reduces light spill both upward and in the foreground, eliminating potential hotspots caused by over exposure at close range – perfect for illuminating subjects at different depths of scene.

Not only are Panoramic Ultra illuminators engineered to ensure system performance, but they offer the quality assurance and efficiency associated with Raytec products, including; a long 10 year+ working life, low running costs and zero maintenance - supported by a substantial 5 year warranty.
