Arecont Vision Costar MPL9-36MPI P-Iris Lens with CS Mount (9-36mm)

Arecont Vision Costar MPL9-36MPI P-Iris Lens with CS Mount (9-36mm)

With a focal length range of 9-36mm, this lens offers a versatile field of view, allowing users to capture wide-angle scenes or zoom in for detailed close-ups. This flexibility makes it ideal for various surveillance applications, from monitoring large areas to capturing specific details with precision.

One of the key features of the MPL9-36MPI lens is its P-Iris technology. P-Iris stands for Precise Iris, which is an advanced iris control mechanism that enables precise control over the lens aperture. Unlike traditional DC iris lenses, P-Iris lenses provide improved image quality, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

The P-Iris technology allows the lens to automatically adjust the aperture based on the lighting conditions, ensuring optimal exposure and depth of field. This results in sharper images with improved contrast, reduced chromatic aberrations, and better overall image quality.

Additionally, the MPL9-36MPI lens features a built-in P-Iris connector, which simplifies the integration with P-Iris-enabled cameras. The lens and camera can communicate directly, allowing for seamless control and optimization of the iris settings.

The lens is constructed with high-quality materials to ensure durability and long-lasting performance. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to install and integrate into various surveillance setups.

The MPL9-36MPI lens also offers precise focus adjustment, allowing users to achieve sharp and clear images. The focus adjustment ring is smooth and responsive, enabling easy and accurate focusing.
