To Meet the Expanding Outdoor Needs of Speed-dome Surveillance Cameras
Tamron Develops Ultra-compact, High-performance and IR-compatible 35X Built-in Zoom Lens for the 1/4" Format (Model NE051)
Surveillance with the maximum 35X zooming power is now possible fit into speed-dome camera with the new zoom lens from Tamron.

Tamron has announced the successful development of Model NE051, an ultra-compact, high-performance and IR-compatible lens boasting an unprecedented ultra large zoom ratio of 35X to satisfy the outdoor needs of high-end speed-dome type surveillance cameras.
Model NE051
High-end speed-dome type surveillance cameras* that are used in many security systems at present are developed and used primarily for surveillance indoors at large-sized facilities such as department stores, shopping malls. However, the increased need for stronger security systems in various fields has recently led to the use of speed-dome type surveillance cameras outdoors, for such applications as monitoring in parking lots, street surveillance, traffic surveillance, vehicle licence plate recording and so on. Tamron's designers took on the difficult task of developing high-power zoom lenses that satisfy such requirements in outdoor applications and have successfully developed the NE051 that provides an amazingly high zoom ratio of 35X while accommodating it in a housing almost equal to that of a 25X zoom lens. The newly developed NE051 lens enables the user to perform outdoor surveillance with a 35X zoom ratio, able to fit into speed dome camera.
*Speed-dome type surveillance cameras are ones capable of monitoring ambient conditions in 360 degrees at high speeds with panning/tilting functions.


  Main Features
  1. Highly advanced optical design realizing an amazing 35X optical zoom power to cover the focal length range of 34.3-120mm Our new idea succeeded in designing a 35X zoom lens with almost the same dimensions as a 25X zoom lens.
  2. Employment of elements made of special glass materials enhances optical quality and ensures high-resolution and high-contrast images over the entire zoom range. The clever use of low dispersion glass has contributed to the achievement of high-resolution and high-contrast images over the entire 35X zoom range.
  3. High optical quality is maintained down to the minimum aperture. F/1.3-360
  4. Groundbreaking built-in IR-switchover mechanism allows 24/7surveillance. An accurate focusing in all lighting conditions
  5. Internal reflections inside the lens barrel are minimized through the employment of clever mechanisms to provide clear images.
  6. Advanced manufacturing technologies for producing highly accurate parts

  7. Tamron's highly advanced manufacturing technologies that manage production of high-precision parts will ensure highly accurate and high quality products.

  8. Environmentally-friendly design. Electric/electronic components are completely lead-free, and compatible with the RoHS regulations.
