Axis treats us to better image quality by replacing the lens in their Axis 211M IP cameras

Axis recently announced they have started to ship an alternative lens with their Axis 211M megapixel IP camera. The new lens is by Tamron and is a designed specifically for megapixel use.

The specification of the lens is almost identical to the previous one: CS-mount, 3.0-8.0mm, vari-focal, DC-iris, F1.0, horizontal viewing angle: 37 degrees (tele) – 90 degrees (wide) and the lens itself it slightly longer by about 15mm but should still fit any any standard outdoor enclosure.

As the new lens is designed for megapixel use it offers higher image quality with more detail and sharpness than before. This is especially suited to IP CCTV monitoring and recording applications where high levels of detail are required. Take a look at an example image taken from the new lens:

We have written a full evaluation which is available from our online IP Camera Learning and Resource Center:

Axis have since replaced the Axis 211M with a range of HD and Megapixel IP cameras.
