CCTV is widely accepted as an important and valuable tool in many areas. Manual iris lenses for constant, stable lighting conditions and auto iris lenses
for variable lighting conditions. Select the best suited lens for optimum performance in each application.
Focal Length
Rays from infinitely distance objects are condensed internally in the lens at a
common point on the optical axis. The point at which the image sensor of
the CCTV camera is positioned, is called a focal point. By virtue of design,
lenses have 2 principal points, a primary principal point & a secondary
principal point, the distance between the secondary principal point and the
focal point (image sensor) determines the focal length of the lens.
Angle of View
The angle formed by the 2 lines from the secondary principal point to the
image sensor is called the angle of view. Therefore, the focal length of the
lens is fixed regardless of the image format size of the CCTV camera.
Conversely, the angle of view varies in accordance with the image size. The
focal lengths in the catalog are nominal and the angles of view calculated by
the formula referring to the focal lengths are approximate.
F-Number
The F number is the index for the amount of light that passes through a
lens. The smaller the number, the greater the amount of light. The F number
is a ratio between focal length and effective aperture as follows.
Field of View
he field of view varies along with the focal length of the lens as follows.

Close-Up Application
1)Extension TubeMacro Ring)
When the rays originate from a finite object distance, the rays are
condensed at a point further than the focal point, while the rays from infinite
distance are condensed at the actual focal point. The focus adjustment
moves the lens barrel toward the object to shift the focusing point at the
image sensor. However, the amount of focusing adjustment is mechanically
limited as sees by the minimum object distance. Extension Tube (Macro
Ring) is inserted in between the lens and camera to shift the focus point
further than the mechanical limit for close-up focus.
2)Close-Up Lens
The close-up lens has a positive meniscus lens as a supplementary lens.
Generally, 3 types of close-up lenses are available, close-up lens No.1, 2 & 3
have 1,000mm (1,000mm/1), 500mm (1,000mm/2), 333mm (1,000mm/3)
respectively. When an object is placed at the focal point of the close-up lens,
the rays from the object are converted by the close-up lens to be parallel
rays against the optical axis as seen on the right.
Depth of Field
When an object is focused, it is typically observed than the area in front and behind the object is also in focus. The range in focus is called gdepth of
fieldh. When the background is extended to infinity, the object distance (focusing distance) is called ghyper focal distanceh. Depth of field is
calculated by using the following formula.
This lens is effective when wishing to come closer to an object than the min. object distance of a lens, or taking close-up pictures of small objects.
CS and C mount
CS mount as present CCTV market standard is specially designed for CCTV
camera lens developed by PENTAX. This is to minuturize the size and to
improve the performance of lens by shortening the flange back by 5mm
comparing to C mount.C and CS mount lenses are available in the present
market, and CS mount is only applicable to CS mount camera.C mount lens
is applicable not only to C mount camera but also to CS mount camera by
using 5mm Adapter Ring (as C-CS-A ).

Day & NihI cameras normally operaIe in Ihe near-infrared/infrared zones aI nihI, makin Ihe imae 'ouI of focus' and
unsuiIable if used wiIh a convenIional lens. 'CompuIar' has developed new lR Lenses IhaI uIilize a special opIical lass
maIerial which minimizes lihI dispersion. As a resulI, refocusin is noI required when used wiIh infrared lihIin. The lens
is manufacIured wiIh a special ED lass (ExIra dispersion) which does noI widely disperse lihI of differenI wavelenIhs
and wiIh 'special coaIin'. This combinaIion allows Ihe lens Io deliver perfecI focus under normal lihIin and also under lR
illuminaIion by IransmiIIin more lihI Io Ihe infrared reion.
