INSIGHTS
Beginning with the DF010 in 2009, Tamron has garnered excellent installed base of near infrared surveillance lenses, accompanied by a body of satisfied users. Over time, however, increasing camera resolution capabilities and larger camera sensors created a need for a similar lens with substantially higher performance characteristics-in both visible and IR spectrums.

Beginning with the DF010 in 2009, Tamron has garnered excellent installed base of near infrared surveillance lenses, accompanied by a body of satisfied users. Over time, however, increasing camera resolution capabilities and larger camera sensors created a need for a similar lens with substantially higher performance characteristics-in both visible and IR spectrums.
In response, Tamron engineers undertook a full redesign project, retaining the heart of the successful DF010 while creating a new, high resolution optic for daylight and night surveillance applications. The result produced a lens with higher resolving capability in visible and IR spectrums with a substantially larger image circle to accommodate a wider variety of larger camera sensors.
The new integrated type Near-IR Corrected / 3 Mega-Pixel Vari-Focal Lens(DF024) delivers 24-Hour Optical Performance, with 3-mega-pixel resolution in both visible and near-infrared spectrums provides night and day surveillance clarity. Moreover, with the focal length range from 3 to 9mm, it is expected to provide a board horizontal angle of view of 93 degrees at the 3mm setting.
DF024 is suitable for system upgrades and it is sized comparably to competitive lenses with similar specifications, often enabling upgrade interchangeability without camera changes.
