Frequently asked questions
- Q: What cameras are compatible with the AXIS Fixed Lens Kit for M12-mount? A: This kit is designed for AXIS compact network cameras that use an M12-mount lens interface. Always verify your camera model and lens compatibility before purchase.
- Q: Do these lenses provide autofocus or manual focus control? A: The kit includes fixed lenses that replace the standard lens in the M12 mount. Autofocus behavior depends on the camera’s built-in capabilities and firmware; check your camera’s documentation for focus operation after installation.
- Q: Can I mix and match focal lengths within the kit? A: Yes. The kit enables lens swaps to achieve different fields of view, so you can tailor coverage for each site. Ensure you select the correct focal length for your target distance and scene.
- Q: How do I determine the right focal length for my area? A: Assess the distance to the target area and the desired coverage. Shorter focal lengths yield wider views suitable for entryways, while longer focal lengths provide narrower, focused coverage for distant objects. Consider lighting and nuisance factors such as backlighting when choosing.
