When a manufacturer tells you they make a spherical-aberration-free finite-conjugate double-aspheric lens, what do you say to them? That’ll be the problem I’ll have should I ever meet up with Nanophotonics, a Korean start-up that’s specialising in high-quality and low-cost optics for CCTV and robotics applications. Basically, this model is a super-wide angle lens without the distortion that can come from a the fish-eye style lenses usually employed when broad vision is needed.
A dual-lens system brings a perspectively-correct image to a DVD-quality bullet camera, and as standard permits a 151 degree Field Of View (FOV), with 160 and 180 degree versions possible with more complex set-ups. The lens also has the benefit of being relatively inexpensive, beginning at little more than $100.
