Prototype Design - IR Laser Positioning Tool

---

Issue: When Technicians are pointing IR lights in the day or night to illuminate an area where the CCTV's field of view is pointed. They cannot see the infrared light as it is invisible to the human eye. This has led to multiple trips to location to make adjustments accumulating unneeded and expensive costs to the project.

Solution: Create a visible light that would point in the direction of the infrared light so the Technician would know where the illumination would be at in relation to the field of view of the CCTV. Must be able to create a simple solution that can fit multiple IR light angles, intensity and sizes.

Materials:

• A powerful Laser Pointer
• Plexiglass 
• Standoff Bolts
• A Housing for the Laser
• Cord Grip 
• Bull Dog Clips for mounting

Instructions:

• Cut Plexiglass to desire sizes to match the IR Lights and make the necessary sized Plexiglass Stands.
• Drill standoff holes for each custom sized IR Light Stand and ensure the Laser Guide is always centered to each size and the holes are aligned.
• Drill center hole for Laser Guide.
• Install Cord Grip.
• Build Laser Housing. Secure to Cord Grip.
• Insert Laser Pen into Housing and tighten Cord Gri

Instructions Continued:

• Place Laser Guide onto Plexiglass Stand.
• Place onto IR Light.
• Hold into place with Bull Dog Clips.
• When ready to use, turn on Laser to see where the position of the IR lights are pointing.
• Position IR Light to the CCTV field of view.

My design fits the following IR Light Models:

• Model F9
• Model F12
• Model F18
