The Hanwha Techwin SLA-2M3600Q is a precision fixed-lens solution designed for compact M12-mount surveillance cameras. Engineered to deliver dependable 2MP image quality in a compact, space-saving form, this lens combines a sturdy build with reliable indoor and outdoor performance. With its 3.60 mm focal length variant and optional focal lengths, it brings a versatile imaging option to security deployments where space, budget, and field of view must align seamlessly. Whether you’re outfitting a storefront, corridor, parking lot, or critical entry point, this fixed lens provides crisp, consistent imagery that supports clear identification and activity monitoring in real-world conditions.

• Versatile focal-length options for precise field of view—Although the SLA-2M3600Q references a 3.60 mm focal length, Hanwha Techwin offers selectable fixed-lens variants including 2.4 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.6 mm, and 6.0 mm. This enables security installers to tailor the camera’s coverage to the environment, balancing wide area monitoring with close-up detail. The 3.60 mm option is an ideal middle ground for moderate-wide coverage with good subject detail, suited to doorways, aisles, and small storefronts.
• 2MP imaging with optimized low-light performance—Designed for 2-megapixel surveillance, the SLA-2M3600Q delivers sharp, readable frames in everyday lighting and beyond. The lens supports low-light operation with a stated 0.55 lux at F2.0 for color imaging, ensuring adequate performance in interior spaces and dim exterior conditions. For monochrome (B/W) deployments, the lens maintains solid contrast and edge definition essential for night-time monitoring.
• Compact, space-saving design compatible with M12 cameras—With a compact 1.4-inch length and 1.4-inch diameter, this fixed lens fits tight housings and small form-factor cameras without adding bulk. The compact footprint helps preserve enclosure space and can simplify installation in multi-camera arrays or ceiling-mounded setups where depth clearance is limited.
• Reliable M12-mount integration for quick deployment—Specifically engineered for M12-mount surveillance cameras, the SLA-2M3600Q simplifies integration into existing security ecosystems. M12-threaded connections provide straightforward, screw-in mounting that reduces setup time and helps maintain stable optical alignment for consistent long-term performance.
• Designed for dependable surveillance in diverse environments—This fixed lens is built to support 2MP surveillance tasks across a range of environments, from retail interiors to entry corridors. By delivering consistent optics, predictable focus behavior, and minimal distortion across its focal-length family, it helps security operators achieve reliable coverage with fewer adjustments and maintenance visits.
