Two Types of 2 MP/Full HD Compatible
Compact Zoom Lenses for Board Cameras
1/3"-format, 3.0-9 mm　F/1.2　(Model　DF010NL) Announcement of Release
1/3"-format, 9-22 mm　F/1.6　(Model　DF020) Announcement of Development

Tamron Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Saitama City; President: Morio Ono) proudly announced the development of two types of 2 mega-pixel/Full HD/NIR compatible, compact zoom lenses for board cameras.

Development Concept

The demand for mini-dome cameras has grown within the surveillance camera market, chiefly due to their installation efficiency and reasonable cost. Higher quality has been a requirement for the low-end 3" class mini-dome camera in recent years.
Previous mini-dome cameras used vari-focal lenses that required the zoom and focus to be adjusted manually. The need for more precise focus adjustment abilities in mega-pixel class cameras has over passed the time and effort required during installation. The number of outdoor installations of mini-dome cameras has also increased, which has led to a greater need for lens brightness and zoom functionality, as well as remote control operation. Tamron has developed two types of 2 mega-pixel/Full HD/IR compatible, compact zoom lenses to meet these needs. These new products deliver the convenience of zoom lenses but in a size that fits low end mini-dome bodies. In addition to the frequently used wide angle 3.0-9 mm lens, a 9-22 mm medium telephoto lens of an equivalent size has been developed, and both can be operated by remote control via networks. These products provide an all-new solution to mini-dome camera applications.

Main Features

• 1. Compact design that allows installation within 3" mini-dome cameras
  ・The lenses feature a compact design that allows installation within low-end 3" mini-dome camera bodies, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of camera markets.
  ・The wide-angle, standard 3.0-9 mm type and medium telephoto 9-22mm type lenses are approximately the same size, which allows them to be used in mini-dome cameras that use common platforms.
• 2. They offer 2 mega-pixel/Full HD compatibility, a 93°horizontal angle of view, and an F/1.2 aperture <DF010NL>
  ・The lens provides a 93°horizontal angle of view across wide angles of 3.0-9 mm, and an F/1.2 aperture for indoor monitoring under low-light conditions.
  ・Tamrons` proprietary optical design provides 2 mega-pixel/Full HD compatibility and high image quality from wide angles to telephoto ranges.
• 3. Offers 2 mega-pixel/Full HD compatibility, a 9-22 mm medium telephoto range, and an F/1.6 aperture <DF020>
  ・The lens covers a 9-22 mm medium telephoto range for both indoor and outdoor monitoring.
  ・Tamrons` proprietary optical design provides 2 mega-pixel/Full HD compatibility and high image quality from wide angles to telephoto ranges.
• 4. Compatible with remote control applications
  A Stepper motor is used for focus and zoom. A lead-screw type motor with minimal backlash has been used for remote control operations via networks, which allows accurate control of the focus and zoom.
• 5. 24-hour monitoring is now possible with a near-IR switching mechanism.
  Maintains focus at night and under near-IR light conditions to deliver crystal clear image quality monitoring, 24 hours a day.
  Optical aberration correction has been provided, even under the near-IR light, which allows filming of sharp, clear video images even at night, when a wide range of different wavelengths are scattered.
• 6. Structural design that provides space for the mounting of near-IR LEDs.
• 7. Surrounding resolution has been further improved compared to existing mega-pixel lens series.
• 8. Image circle design that takes into consideration various CMOS sensor sizes
• 9. Environmentally-friendly design
