The megalithic monument of Stonehenge is protected with IR Clarius illuminators

These GJD devices, distributed by ProdexTec in the Iberian market, They are key in the detection and security system of the perimeter of this monument in England, considered one of the wonders of the world.

Located in the English town of Wiltshire, Stonehenge It is one of the most fascinating and fabulous megalithic monuments in the world, made up of large sandstone stones, that weigh up to 25 tons and were recently identified as coming from the West Woods forests, to some 30 Km. North of the monument, currently temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This important tourist complex, considered one of the wonders of the world, needed a sophisticated high-end perimeter security and detection system, both to avoid possible acts of vandalism and to help its perfect conservation.

The specialist Wessex Fire and Security was the company to manage this project to supply, install and commission fire and security systems for Stonehenge, composed of three buildings: the new visitor center and main facility, an auxiliary building for plant management, vehicles and machinery, and a control center or security post (which was the old visitor center).

To respond to the security requirements of this historic site, Wessex Fire and Security worked closely with the manufacturer Gjd to design, produce and install Stonehenge's new security system, and its new visitor center.

The choice of GJD Clarius infrared illuminators, brand that sells ProdexTec in Spain and Portugal, met an important requirement for the project, since the verification of the process is carried out through a video analysis system, and it was necessary to separate the cameras from the infrared sources to minimize the attraction of insects to the devices.

After studying and evaluating different market alternatives, The ideal option in terms of quality and reliability for this project were the Clarius infrared illuminators., since they work in conjunction with security cameras (day/night) distributed throughout the premises, providing light invisible to the human eye, but completely visible to CCTV devices.
