Here are some details that make the difference in considering the security camera lenses alone, that is why considering our CCTV installation company makes all the difference:

Aperture . The opening or hole in a lens through which light passes.

Back Focus . A mechanical focusing method whereby the image device (chip or tube ) is manually adjusted closer or nearer the lens. Proper back focus will insure that a zoom lens will stay in focus throughout the zoom range.

Camera • The approximate size of a cameras image pickup device. It is a measurement

Format derived from the diagonal line of a chip or the diameter of a tube . Currently there are four formats in the security industry. They are 1", 2/3", 1/2", and 1/3".

"C" Mount An industry standard for mounting a lens to a camera where 1"-32 thread is employed and the distance from the image plane ( chip or tube ) to the banking shoulder of the lens is 17.52mm (.69 in ).

"CS" Mount A relatively new standard for mounting a lens to a camera where 1"-32 thread is

employed and the distance from the image plane ( chip or tube ) to the banking • shoulder of the lens is 12.52mm.

Depth of The in-focus range within a scene viewed by a lens. It is measured as the distance

Field in reasonable focus in front of and beyond an object viewed.

Field of The maximum angle of view a lens "sees".

Security Camera View

Focal Length The distance from the theoretical lens center to the surface of the image sensor.

The greater the focal length the narrower the field of view the lens produces.

Lens Format The approximate size of a lenses projected image. In most cases a lens will project

an image greater then its designated format size (1", 2/3", 1/2", 1/3" ). This is to

insure the pickup device of a similarly formatted camera is fully covered. It is

recommended that cameras and lenses used together be of the same format.

Iris A mechanical diaphragm controlled manually or automatically which adjusts the

lens aperture (opening).

Speed Refers to the ability of a lens to transmit light and is measured in f-stops. The

lower the f-stop the "faster" the lens. •
