Viridian Observa™

The security advantages are all one way

Description

Viridian Observa™ is an observation mirror offering high quality one-way vision that effectively provides discreet, unobtrusive monitoring. It has the appearance of a mirror on the subject side, while providing privacy for observers. It is also laminated to provide protection from human impact and reduces noise transmission.

Installation

Observa is normally used for internal applications. Glazing should be in accordance with the Australian Standard AS1288, NZS 4223 and Viridian glazing recommendations for laminated glass.

The reflective surface must be installed to the subject side.

Lighting conditions

To achieve privacy for observers, a light ratio of 1:7 is recommended, where the subject side is brightly illuminated and the observer side is dimly lit. Bright lighting sources must be avoided in the observer’s area and spotlights directed away from the Observa surface. We recommend using dark furnishing colours and that dark clothing be worn in the observation area. Best results are achieved by keeping both subjects and observers one metre away from the observation mirror.

Note: For external applications and natural lighting situations where variable lighting conditions exist, the Observa performance can be affected.
