Electronic visor infra red detector

Electronic visor infra red detector to verify all major currencies for export from Belgium

The Electronic Visor can be used to verify all major currencies including the euro, US dollars, and pounds sterling. It works by detecting the areas of the note which are designed to be visible under infra-red light. These infra-red areas are known as IR map-marks and are unique for each currency. The IR map-marks for the euro, US dollars and sterling are included with the operating instructions; IR map-marks for other currencies are available on request.

Infra-red detection is more secure than UV detection and does not impose any health hazards to the operator (UV detection systems are now banned in several countries). Due to the fact that several notes can be detected at the same time, the Electronic Visor is ideal for use in high-volume cash handling applications such as supermarkets, bars, pubs, betting shops, casinos, banks etc.

One of the unique features of the Electronic Visor is the ability to site the camera remotely from the monitor; this makes the unit ideal for use in areas of restricted space such as supermarket check-outs.

Hitherto one of the main drawbacks of infra red detectors was the relatively high cost of the initial investment. The low cost of the Electronic Visor now makes infra red detection an affordable and attractive alternative to UV detection.
