Fujinon CCTV lenses

52 Fujinon has announced several new lenses including the company's first two-megapixel telezoom lens. The D60x16.7SR4D-V41 offers a x60 optical zoom with a focal length of up to f=2000mm and is therefore ideally suited for long-range surveillance applications, such as airport or harbour security. Two additional megapixel zoom lenses also launched, the D32x10HR4D and D32x15.6HR4D, feature 1.3 megapixels resolution and a x32 zoom factor with a maximum focal length of f=500mm.

Meanwhile, Fujinon has introduced another new series of lenses with five megapixel resolution, fixed focal lengths and IR correction for day and night applications. Initially, the company is making two models available - the HF35SR4A-1/SA1 with a focal length of f=35mm and F2.0 and the HF50SR4A-1/SA1 offering a focal length of f=50mm and F2.8. According to the company, the combination of high resolution and IR correction these lenses offer make them ideal for traffic applications such as automatic number plate recognition.

As Fujinon points out, even the best camera is useless without fitting a lens which matches the resolution of the camera and a megapixel camera can only generate high-resolution HD images in combination with a megapixel lens.
