Product Application Scenarios and Compatible Devices
Core Application Scenarios
This rugged IR corrected lens is purpose-built for smart city traffic enforcement, high-speed electronic toll collection (ETC) gates, wide-area city surveillance, and commercial fleet automotive lens systems. Its fast F2.2 aperture excels in outdoor environments prone to poor lighting, such as dimly lit parking structures, dark alleyway tracking, and night patrols. The compact, vibration-resistant blueprint also ensures optimal performance when mounted on aerial surveying platforms, structural mapping drone & UAV lenses, or heavy-duty industrial robotic arms working under changing ambient lighting.
Compatible Devices List
Engineered for perfect synchronization with the Sony IMX178 sensor and fully backward-compatible with alternative 1/2-inch, 1/2.8-inch, and 1/3-inch megapixel CMOS sensors from OmniVision, Onsemi, and SmartSens. It screws smoothly into AI network IP cameras, ruggedized dash cams, smart traffic enforcement pods, and standalone IoT edge devices. Utilizing the standard M12x0.5 threading, it guarantees a firm, slip-free mechanical seat. Full customization options regarding specific optical anti-reflective (AR) coatings or bandpass filters are available for custom enterprise designs.
Designed for wide-area outdoor security and intelligent traffic surveillance application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the IMX178 annotation mean for the Field of View?
A: The field of view parameters (100°D / 86°H / 54°V) are calibrated specifically to the popular Sony IMX178 sensor, ensuring you achieve exact panoramic coverage when pairing them together.
Q: Why is an IR Corrected lens critical for 24/7 security setups?
A: Standard lenses cause focus displacement when infrared night-lights turn on. Our IR corrected lens ensures visible and infrared rays focus on the exact same plane, keeping night footage completely sharp.
Q: Can this lens handle high-vibration applications like drones or vehicles?
A: Yes, the lightweight M12 structure combined with fixed focal and iris designs inherently limits moving internal elements, ensuring high impact resistance during aerial UAV flights or vehicle travel.
Q: Will this 1/1.8″ lens cause dark corners on a smaller 1/2.8″ sensor?
A: No, using a smaller sensor will not cause vignetting or dark corners. It simply crops the field of view slightly while leveraging the high-clarity sweet spot of the lens center.
Q: How does the F2.2 aperture assist low-light imaging?
A: An F2.2 aperture allows a large amount of ambient light to enter the sensor. This lowers noise levels and drastically enhances image detail in dark environments without relying on heavy digital gain.
Q: Is the mount thread customizable to a C-mount or CS-mount?
A: This specific optical block is engineered for an M12x0.5 thread. However, we can supply mechanical adapter sleeves or custom housings to match your proprietary camera chassis if required.
