Bosch LVF-4000C-D0550: 5-50mm f/1.4 Varifocal CS-Mount Lens with 10x Optical Zoom

Bosch LVF-4000C-D0550 is a high-performance varifocal CS-mount lens designed to deliver crisp images and flexible framing for both security deployments and professional photography. With a 5-50mm focal range and a bright f/1.4 aperture, it captures detailed, high-contrast imagery in a broad spectrum of lighting—from bright storefronts to dim corridors. The 10x optical zoom provides remarkable reach and image fidelity, enabling operators to zoom in on distant subjects—such as faces, license plates, or scene nuances—without introducing noticeable artifacts or distortion. Engineered to pair seamlessly with Bosch surveillance cameras and other CS-mount devices, this lens offers precise control over field of view, depth of field, and color accuracy while maintaining a compact, robust profile suitable for mounted, fixed installations. Whether deployed in retail environments, transportation hubs, industrial facilities, or architectural photography, the LVF-4000C-D0550 delivers consistency, reliability, and flexibility in a single, easy-to-integrate package.

• 5-50 mm focal range with f/1.4 brightness for versatile framing and strong low-light performance: The wide-to-telephoto range enables you to frame tight close-ups from a fixed camera position and cover expansive scenes without swapping lenses, making it ideal for doorways, cash counters, parking areas, and long corridors. The bright maximum aperture helps maintain subject brightness and color integrity when lighting is challenging, reducing noise and preserving detail.
• 10x optical zoom with high-quality optics: This lens pulls distant subjects into sharp focus with minimal chromatic aberration and distortion. Expect edge-to-edge sharpness across the zoom range, accurate color reproduction, and consistent performance that supports reliable identification of critical details like faces and license plates even at telephoto settings.
• CS-mount compatibility for easy integration: Designed to slot into standard CS-mount camera ecosystems, the LVF-4000C-D0550 minimizes integration complexity. Its compact form and standardized mounting simplify upgrades and retrofits in existing systems, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership while ensuring compatibility with a broad range of cameras and housings.
• Rugged, professional-grade construction: Built to withstand the rigors of professional deployments, this lens emphasizes mechanical stability, precise machining, and durable materials. In demanding environments—whether exposed to temperature fluctuations, vibrations, or continuous operation—the LVF-4000C-D0550 maintains consistent optical alignment and smooth zoom/focus control for dependable long-term use.
• Versatility for surveillance and professional photography: While optimized for security applications, the varifocal design and optical performance also appeal to photographers who require adaptable framing and high-quality optics. The lens enables creative compositions, architectural captures, and precise scene control, all while delivering the reliability and consistency demanded by professional workflows and security monitoring.
