Hanwha SLM-5M16 16MM Lens for Mono BCR Cameras
When deploying Hanwha mono box camera readers in access control or license plate recognition applications, field of view precision determines system performance. The SLM-5M16 delivers a fixed 16mm focal length engineered specifically for Hanwha's mono BCR camera line, providing the narrow angle of view required for accurate credential capture at controlled distances. This lens eliminates the guesswork in optical configuration for integrators specifying BCR solutions whereplate legibility or badge detail at 15-40 feet is mission-critical.
Key Features
- 16mm fixed focal length optimized for Hanwha mono box camera reader platforms
- Narrow field of view ideal for LPR lanes, access gates, and credential verification points
- Precision-ground optics maintain edge-to-edge sharpness for OCR accuracy
- C/CS-mount compatibility ensures quick swaps during commissioning or system upgrades
- Factory-calibrated for Hanwha mono sensors to eliminate chromatic aberration in monochrome capture
- Durable metal barrel construction withstands repeated focus adjustments during installation
The 16mm focal length strikes the balance integrators need for vehicle access control and perimeter credential reading—tight enough to resolve plate characters or proximity card details without requiring cameras mounted inches from the capture zone, yet wide enough to accommodate minor vehicle positioning variances. When paired with Hanwha's mono BCR cameras, this lens configuration supports reliable OCR processing in both daylight and IR-illuminated nighttime scenarios, critical for 24/7 unmanned entry points.
Field installers appreciate the straightforward C/CS threading and manual iris control, which simplifies aiming and depth-of-field adjustments during commissioning. For integrators standardizing on Hanwha BCR platforms across multi-site deployments, the SLM-5M16 provides consistent optical performance and a known working distance range, reducing pre-deployment site surveys and post-install rework. This lens is the practical choice when your access control or LPR specification demands predictable capture geometry and repeatable results across installations.
