Development Concept

Tamron has developed a new mini-dome camera on the heels of the rapidly growing, highly diversified dome camera market. Using its sophisticated resources acquired through long-term development and sales of high resolution/high quality lenses, Tamron is now launching a high-definition mini-dome camera with a variety of unique features. Costly speed dome cameras specially designed to cover a telephoto range for a broad variety of applications is a current trend in the dome camera market. Targeting a smaller portion of all possible applications Tamron offers a high magnification mini-dome camera, covering 3.8 wide to 45.6mm telephoto while providing high resolution images for security use. In addition, Tamron's "Install AF Mode" dramatically improves the process of time-consuming focus adjustment of its mini-dome camera at the installation site, thereby providing great efficiency for installers.
