Telephoto Lenses

Compact Lenses for ITS/LPR/ANPR and other High Detail applications

Theia's telephoto varifocal lenses allow the user to optimize the field of view to zoom in on an area of interest far away (during camera setup). The multi megapixel resolution lenses support the new 4K resolution cameras with 4K compatible lenses and true 4K resolution (12 megapixels) lenses for 1/2.3" and 1/1.7" sensors.

These telephotos allow the user to optimize the field of view with 4X zoom capability and then digitally zoom in up to 16X while still maintaining better than SD image resolution. The lenses are IR corrected for use with true Day/Night cameras giving a bright image in both visible and artificial IR illumination. This IR correction will keep the image sharp in daylight, at night, and in between when there is a mix of visible and IR illumination without the need for a camera with automatic back focus adjustment (the lens will work great on cameras that support auto back focus adjustment and those true Day/Night cameras that do not).

  • 9-36mm, 9-40mm and 12-50mm focal ranges
  • 4K & 4K compatible resolutions – 12 megapixel, 300 lp/mm
  • Near IR corrected for multi-spectral and Day/Night applications
  • Manual, P-iris and DC auto-iris versions
  • For 1/1.7”, 1/2.3” and smaller image sensor formats
  • In CS, and D25 board mounts, depending on models
  • Fully motorized versions available
