Tamron Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Saitama City, President: Morio Ono) announced today the release of a new indoor use mini-dome camera with a built-in high-quality vari-focal lens (model DC28105N-12).

Development Concept

With the expansion of the integrated camera market, demand for the mini-dome camera, which boasts superior cost performance, has been particularly strong. Following its DCV12 series of high-quality mini-dome cameras introduced in fiscal 2007, Tamron has now developed the DC28105N-12, a mini-dome camera with a built-in high-quality vari-focal lens intended for indoor use. The new product leverages Tamron's high-quality imaging technology to achieve high-precision monitoring. Tamron will continue to pursue ever higher image quality, and is committed to delivering the image quality expected of an innovative lens manufacturer known for integrated development and design.

Main Features

Integrated high-quality design from lens to camera Uses an aspherical lens for optical design capable of high resolution. Covers a wide angle of view of 2.8-10.5mm, to achieve a horizontal angle of view at the widest angle of about 100 degrees. Boasts large-aperture F/1.2 brightness, highest in its class. Multi-coating reduces ghost flare. Employs a 1/3" CCD to achieve a horizontal resolution of 540 TV lines. Design takes dome cover characteristics into consideration to minimize degradation of image quality after cover installation. Improved operability Pan and tilt adjustment includes a lock mechanism to protect against drift due to vibration, etc., after the angle of view has been set. A grip has been installed for easier pan adjustment, greatly improving operability during installation. Offers one-touch installation for the dome cover. Other special characteristics Simple design blends in optimally for indoor installation in offices or retail stores, etc. Installation components are compatible with general standard electrical boxes. Designed with environmental concern.
