• Dimensions: The lens has compact dimensions, typically measuring around 47mm (1.85 inches) in diameter and 65mm (2.56 inches) in length. These compact dimensions allow for easy integration into camera systems and installations with limited space.
• Weight: The MPL12-40AI lens has a lightweight design, typically weighing around 120 grams (4.23 ounces). This lightweight construction minimizes strain on camera mounts and structures, facilitating easier installation and adjustment.
• Operating Temperature Range: The lens is designed to operate within a specific temperature range, typically between -20?C to 60?C (-4?F to 140?F). This wide operating temperature range ensures reliable performance in various environmental conditions.
• Compatibility: The MPL12-40AI lens is compatible with Arecont Vision Costar and other CS-mount camera systems, providing a seamless integration option for existing surveillance setups.

Features

• Manual Iris Control: In addition to auto iris control, the lens also offers manual iris control. This feature allows users to manually adjust the lens aperture, giving them precise control over the amount of light entering the lens and allowing for customization of the depth of field.
• Edge Blackening: The MPL12-40AI lens is equipped with edge blackening technology, which helps minimize glare and internal reflections. This feature enhances image contrast and sharpness, especially in challenging lighting conditions.
• Multi-Coated Elements: The lens incorporates multi-coated lens elements to reduce lens flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberrations. These coatings optimize light transmission and improve overall image quality, ensuring clear and detailed surveillance footage.
• High-Definition (HD) Imaging: The MPL12-40AI lens is designed to support high-definition imaging, delivering sharp and detailed video footage. It is compatible with cameras that offer HD resolutions, enabling the lens to capture and transmit clear images with fine details.
• Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) Support: The lens provides support for Wide Dynamic Range technology, allowing it to capture scenes with high contrast lighting conditions. This feature helps to ensure that both dark and bright areas of the image are properly exposed, resulting in balanced and detailed surveillance footage.
• IR Corrected: The lens is IR corrected, meaning it is designed to maintain sharp focus even when used with infrared (IR) illuminators. This feature ensures clear and focused images, even in low-light or nighttime surveillance scenarios where IR illumination is used.
• Precise Zoom and Focus Locking: The MPL12-40AI lens includes precise zoom and focus locking mechanisms. Once the desired zoom and focus settings are achieved, these mechanisms allow users to lock them in place securely. This ensures that the lens maintains the desired settings even in high-vibration environments.
• Easy Installation: The lens features a user-friendly design that facilitates easy installation. It is equipped with standard industry mounting threads and features such as focus and zoom adjustment rings, making it convenient to install and configure within a surveillance camera system.
• High-Quality Construction: The lens is constructed with high-quality materials, ensuring durability and longevity. It is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor surveillance applications.
• Compatibility with Accessories: The MPL12-40AI lens is compatible with various lens accessories such as lens hoods and filters. These accessories can further enhance image quality and address specific imaging requirements, providing additional versatility and customization options.
