Remote surveillance ir optical lenses

Whether it's wide-area surveillance of parking lots, industrial sites or airports, cameras in banks or license plate recognition at the entrance of a company's parking lot, many solutions benefit from adding infrared light. Camera sensors record this radiation, which is barely visible to the human eye, resulting in high-quality images.

To cover a range of 100 meters or more, especially for outdoor applications, the lighting unit must provide a light output of several watts. To date, infrared spotlights have been based on a large number of radial through-hole components. Radial IREDs have a variety of emission angles to help achieve narrow and far light cones. However, when high power is required, these devices reach their limits as they are limited to low currents in continuous operation due to thermal reasons.
