The AXIS accessory lens, type 02008-001, is a fixed (fix) lens with a focal length of 6 mm, specifically developed for network cameras with a removable IR-cut filter. It features an M12 thread connection and an aperture value of F1.9, enabling high light transmission and thus good image quality even under low-light conditions. The lens is specifically designed for use with AXIS P3925-R and AXIS P3935-LR cameras, which are equipped with a corresponding M12 lens connection.
Applications
This lens is intended for surveillance systems in both indoor and outdoor environments, particularly in applications requiring clear, detailed imaging under daylight and nightlight conditions. The 6 mm focal length provides a medium field of view, suitable for surveillance tasks in rooms, corridors, or small outdoor areas. The F1.9 aperture ensures sufficient light reaches the sensor even in low-light conditions, improving image quality during twilight or nighttime.
Functions and Features in Detail
The lens is designed as a replacement or additional lens to increase the flexibility of AXIS cameras. It is supplied in a pack of 10, which makes maintenance and lens replacement in larger surveillance installations more efficient. The delivery includes a lens tool for secure mounting and dismounting of the lens on the camera housing. The tool enables precise and damage-free connection to the M12 thread.
Technology Explained Simply
The 6 mm focal length defines the field of view, which is approximately 60 degrees for this lens type (depending on sensor size). A narrower field of view allows for greater detail resolution within the image area, which is advantageous for identifying objects or persons in a specific area. The aperture value F1.9 describes the lens opening — the smaller the value, the more light can pass through the lens. This is especially important for cameras used in poorly lit environments. The absence of an IR-cut filter allows optimal use of the camera’s infrared illumination at night, as IR light reaches the sensor unaltered. This is crucial for clear night vision without color distortion.
Compatibility and Accessories
The lens is specifically designed for AXIS P3925-R and AXIS P3935-LR cameras, which feature an M12 lens connection and a removable IR-cut filter. Compatibility is based on the mechanical connection (M12) and optical requirements (no IR-cut filter). It is not intended for cameras without a removable IR-cut filter, as the night vision function would not be optimally utilized.
Mounting and Installation
Mounting is performed using the included lens tool on the M12 thread connection of the camera. The tool ensures the lens is mounted securely without damaging the thread or the lens. Installation requires no additional tools or special prerequisites. After replacing the lens, recalibration of the camera is generally not required, as the optical parameters remain unchanged when using a standardized lens.
Operational Advantages
Using this lens allows flexible adaptation of the surveillance camera to different operational conditions. The pack of 10 is particularly suitable for maintenance teams that need to inspect or replace multiple cameras simultaneously. The included tool reduces the risk of damage during installation. The combination of F1.9 aperture and the absence of an IR-cut filter ensures optimal image quality during both day and night, increasing the efficiency of surveillance systems.
