HellasCams - Dark Times Ahead

Dark Nights Warning

Black Diamond™:

Dark Times Ahead

The weekend of October 28th, 2007, all over Europe, people will turn their clocks back by one hour signalling the end of Europe summertime. October 28th also signals the launch of HellasCams's / Derwent's Dark Nights Campaign which urges the security industry: Give greater consideration to illumination.

Most crime takes place under the cover of darkness. It has found that many CCTV cameras fail to capture useable images at night due to insufficient or non-existant illumination. During winter light levels can drop as early as 4pm, leaving surveillance systems vulnerable from mid-afternoon onwards.

With this in mind HellasCams in co-operation with Derwent is launching its Dark Nights Campaign to hammer home to the industry the importance of specifying and installing the correct type of lighting. Based on years of experience as experts in the field, Derwent firmly believe that Infra-Red is the best and most powerful illumination for CCTV.

"Many CCTV cameras installed during the light summer months will fail when they come up against the challenges of dark winter conditions" says Linda Williams, Derwent's UK Sales Manager.

"The message is clear - without light there can be no picture. Adding a Derwent lamp to an existing surveillance system can bring it alive again, ensuring it delivers high-resolution surveillance on a true 24 hour basis."

Without Infra-Red dark night-time scenes will remain dark to CCTV cameras, pictures suffer from shadows and loss of focus
