Observa™ – One-way Mirror

• Ideal for surveillance, security and administrative applications
• Internal applications required discreet, unobtrusive monitoring
• This is a one-way mirror that creates a visual barrier between subjects and their observers, where clear and discreet vision is required.
• This product can be used for:
  • Security
  • Retail Stores
  • Supermarkets
  • Correctional institutions
  • Airports security
  • Workplace monitoring
  • Banks or cash offices
  • Medical facilities
  • Computer rooms
  • Child care facilities
  • Marketing focus group monitoring
  • Any area requiring observation

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 observerés 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.

Glazing should be in accordance with the Australian Standard AS1288, New Zealand Standard NZS4223 and Viridian recommendations for laminated glass.

The reflective surface must be installed to the subject side.

• Orientation
  • Install Observa™ with the reflective surface facing the brightly lit subject-side.
• Type of lighting
  • Subject-side lighting should be bright and evenly distributed over all walls and furnishings, but should not shine directly onto the one-way mirror. Observer-side lighting should be dim with light sources directed away from the glass.
• Background Colours
  • Subject-side should be decorated light in color and with shade to create a bright reflected image. Observer-side decor should be subdued, non-reflective, dark and uniform.
• Distances and light levels
  • On the observer-side, keep people, objects and light sources at a distance of more than one foot from the one-way mirror area. An 8:1 light ratio is recommended, with the subject-side brightly lit.
• Cleaning
  • Use standard glass cleaners or mild detergents. Do not use abrasives, opaque liquid cleaners, razor blades or acid-based cleaners.
