NewProducts Candid Camera A Arecont Vision's new 40-megapixel camera is now in use by security operations in Hawaii, where hotels and condominiums have installed numerous surveillance cameras and access control systems. The detail of an image, as measured in pixels, dictates whether one can read a license plate or recognize a face. One of the most important criteria when evaluating the ROI of a camera is the number of pixels delivered per dollar spent. Megapixel panoramic high definition cameras capture more information per camera on license plates, facial recognition, numbers on shipping crates and more. For analog and standard definition cameras, it may require more cameras to cover the same area under surveillance, and both deliver less detailed images. Pan-tilt-zoom systems often require a live operator following events in real-time. Megapixel cameras have the ability to zoom into live scenes and record video with high resolution and wide-angle coverage. www.adiglobal.us WAC's New Pendant The bungalow styling of the new Huntington Pendant is the latest lighting design in WAC's Early Electric Collection. The low-voltage pendant operates on a 12-volt low voltage system and uses just 5.6 watts while delivering up to 360 lumens, a CRI (color rendering index) of 85, and is offered in a color temperature of 3000K. Huntington can be hung from the ceiling using WAC's Quick Adjust™ Canopy with a sturdy aircraft cable that can be custom shortened tool free by hand. Designed without any exposed hardware, the equipped canopy offers a clean architectural style. Quick Connect™ models require a special adapter that makes them compatible with WAC's track and rail systems as well as other manufacturers' popular track lighting systems used throughout the industry. The pendant is 8 5/16 inches tall and 3 1/4 inches wide. www.waclighting.com Green Light HVAC Insulation Light Efficient Design introduces the LED-8025 garage/utility bulb. Designed for low bay applications in parking structures and warehouses, this patent-pending bulb replaces existing High Intensity Discharge (HID) or High Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs. Until now, facility managers and building engineers needed to add the cost of a new fixture when weighing the decision to switch to LED. Users can save energy costs: The 52W bulb replaces up to 175W metal halide bulb. Users can also save maintenance costs: Each bulb has an estimated 50,000-hour life, reducing labor for bulb replacement. To save on overall retrofit project costs, simply replace existing bulbs with LED bulbs, rather than more costly LED replacement fixtures. Light Efficient Design's retrofit lighting solutions provide energy saving products supported by LM79, Lighting Facts, UL, DLC and, most notably, Energy Star. www.led-llc.com CertainTeed introduces its ToughGard Ultra*Round Duct Liner, a fiberglass duct liner overlaid with a durable fire-resistant black composite air stream surface, which is scored to allow for easy installation in spiral air ducts. It also has improved acoustical performance, and provides thermalinsulating properties and lower HVAC operating costs by reducing energy consumption. Its thermal properties help control condensation, which helps improve indoor air quality by reducing unwanted moisture. This product contains an EPA registered antimicrobial agent to ward off potential mold and microbial growth on the liner surface. www.mapcohawaii.com Laser Sharp Hilti introduces its new PR 2-HS Rotating Laser, built to withstand harsh jobsite conditions while providing best-in-class leveling time. Transferring heights, setting slopes or simple leveling are made easy with clearly defined function buttons. Users will see highly reliable readings (an accuracy of +/- 0.02 inch at 32.8 feet) even under bright light conditions. The operating range for the new PR 2-HS is 6 feet to 2,000 feet diameter with the included laser receiver. It is designed to resist a drop from a tripod at standard working heights and the added IP 66 rating makes the PR 2-HS dust tight and water resistant. www.us.hilti.com 74 | BUILDING INDUSTRY | NOVEMBER 2013 http://www.waclighting.com http://coverage.www.adiglobal.us http://www.mapcohawaii.com http://www.led-llc.com http://www.us.hilti.com
