CCTV Lenses and Security Camera Lens Manufacturers
Filed under: CCTV Security Camera Lenses, Security Camera
Hey Everybody. I thought I would take a moment and give you the skinny on some fine lens manufacturers that I like.
These are updated in alphabetic order to dissuade my preferences from being reflected.
American Dynamics – http://www.americandynamics.net/products/cameras_lenses_ir_auto_manual.aspx
If you know CCTV you know these guys. Much like their DVR lineup, these lenses are no-frills workhorses, solid as can be, and an exceptional value. (OK, Their DVRs now have some frills, but their SOLID reputation remains.)
Bosch – http://products.boschsecurity.us/en/TAMS/products/bxp/CATMcf99315308d95577f3036f48f4ce9014
German engineering applied to CCTV Lenses? Slicker than your new BMW.
Fujinon – http://www.fujinon.com/Security/
Sorry everybody, I originally forgot this great manufacturor. Some of the highest quality (FAST) machine vision leneses on the market, and great CCTV lenses as well.
Pelco – http://www.pelco.com/products/default.aspx?id=33
What CCTV list is complete without these guys? Nice! Pricey… but nice.
Pentax – http://www.pentaxcctvus.com/
You might know these guys from their very cute and respectable handheld digital cameras. But they are a serious optics manufacturer as well, providing both photography and CCTV lenses that are exceptional, especially indoor.
Sanyo – http://www.sanyosecurity.com/n-lineup_page/n-camera.html
Excellent Value. Longtime reputation of quality.
Swann – http://www.swannsecurity.com/
Not the widest lineup, but good for the money.
Tamrom – http://www.tamron.com/
These guys make extremely clear lenses worthy of admiration by professional photographers. As a matter of fact, their pedigree is professional camera lenses, and their expertise really comes through not only in the clarity of their optics, but also in the wide variety of lens applications they cover.
Tokina – http://www.tokinacctvlens.com/
These guys make reasonably priced lenses that are not junk, and they also make some of the highest res lenses on the market. Need a 3.0 megapixel lens for a Surveillance camera? Look no further.
We hope you enjoy our little list. If you have additions we should know about, leave a comment for everyone!
