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
