Commack, New York- December 14, 2015, -- Tamron Co., Ltd., Saitama, Japan, an integrated optics manufacturer and leader in the security / surveillance equipment industry, announces the release of a CS-mount Vari-Focal lens supporting 5-mega-pixel resolution and NIR bandwidth with three iris options: Manual Iris / DC Auto Iris / P-Iris (Model: M118VM413IRCS / M118VG413IRCS / M118VP413IRCS).
In the security market, demand for outdoor surveillance is getting increasingly strong, notably at such locations as city streets and public facilities. Recent cameras deployed in the surveillance applications have a specific technical requirement: in addition to a significant increase in the pixel counts, an enhancement of the lens sensitivity is requested for imaging detectors, which are shifting to a larger device size. Lenses that meet the requirement are in strong demand in the security market.
To address the growing need in the surveillance market, Tamron announces the release of a 1/1.8" 4-13mm F/1.5 CS-mount Vari-Focal lens for 5-mega-pixel high-resolution and high-sensitivity large-size imaging detectors, compatible with an NIR bandwidth imaging feature. The lens unleashes a new distinct market value that delivers both high resolution and high sensitivity, enhancing surveillance performance to an unprecedented level.
