Pelco announced four new combination IR / white light illuminator models to the award-winning Esprit Enhanced PTZ camera product line.

These new models provide IR-only and white light / deterrent modes of operation to give you the ability to overtly capture clear full color images when using white light direct illumination or covertly with clear black and white images when in IR-only mode.

The new models are ideal for performance-oriented 24 by 7 operations as well as extreme temperature environments where fast PTZ responsiveness, wide dynamic range with variable overt and covert lighting options are key requirements.

The IR and white light illuminator modes enhance your surveillance experience with:

• The ability to switch between IR and white light as needed (manually, programmed, or via alarm).
• Optimized security detail with color, even in the dark and where white light counter-acts color distortion from light sources such as high-pressure sodium lamps.
• A visual white light deterrent (can be configured to come on when motion is detected, VMS is required).

Applications include:

• Public transit and cities where lighting pollution is prevalent (IR option) and the risk of vandalism is greater (white light option).
• Perimeter of a border.
• Airports, seaports, and refineries that cannot afford down time.
• Oil and gas operations.

The four new models are offered with wiper, without wiper and pressurized unit, in both 48VDC and 100-240VAC power versions.
