The VARIO2 IP PoE Hybrid from Raytec represents the pinnacle of security illumination technology, integrating four key capabilities into a single, compact platform.  

Combining Infra-Red, White-Light, PoE, and full IP connectivity, it offers unprecedented flexibility and performance, making it one of the most advanced illuminators available in today’s security market. 

VARIO2 Hybrid

At the heart of the VARIO2 Hybrid are PLATINUM Elite twin-core SMT LEDs. This technology allows the Hybrid unit to replicate the performance of two full-size illuminators, one Infra-Red and one White-Light. The result is a compact, efficient illuminator capable of supporting high-performance security systems without the need for several separate white light and infra-red units. 

The VARIO2 IP PoE Hybrid is fully IP addressable, providing instant remote control and seamless integration with third-party IP devices. Security teams can then respond to live events, adjust settings, and automate illumination responses even when a site is unmanned, ensuring maximum coverage and 24/7 security. 

Performance is a key strength of the hybrid range. The VARIO2 Hybrid delivers up to 450m (1,476ft) of Infra-Red illumination and 195m (640ft) of White-Light illumination, all from a single unit. This extensive range, combined with a highly diffused elliptical beam, ensures more light reaches where it is needed, minimising light wastage and preventing overexposure of foreground objects. 

Flexibility and ease of use are central to the VARIO2 Hybrid design. Each unit features interchangeable lenses, allowing the angle of illumination to be quickly and precisely adjusted using lens inserts. On-site adjustments are simple, enabling the beam to match the camera’s field of view perfectly. Furthermore, illuminators are available in different sizes and come with multiple beam pattern options, providing complete adaptability for a wide variety of security scenarios. 

To further simplify installation, Raytec offers an optional dedicated remote control, allowing safe and rapid set-up from ground level. This feature significantly speeds up commissioning and eliminates the need for ladders or lifts, enhancing both safety and efficiency during installation. 

In addition to its technological capabilities, the VARIO2 IP Hybrid stands out for its reliability and durability. Built to meet the rigorous demands of modern security environments, it ensures consistent performance, day or night, across a variety of challenging conditions. Whether for critical infrastructure, commercial sites, or large-scale perimeters, VARIO2 IP Hybrid provides the illumination solution that security professionals demand. 

In summary, the VARIO2 Hybrid is not just an illuminator – it’s a complete security solution, combining power, flexibility, and intelligence in one platform. By integrating advanced LED technology, remote IP control, and adaptable optics, it sets a new standard for security illumination.
