Hanwha SLA-F2480DSA 5MP Pinhole Lens Module

Overview

The Hanwha SLA-F2480DSA is a 5 Megapixel pinhole-style lens module built for covert and discreet camera installations where a standard dome or bullet housing won't fit the space — teller windows, ATM enclosures, elevator cabs, reception desks, and other tight mounting points. Rather than a self-contained camera, the SLA-F2480DSA is a remote lens/sensor head that connects back to a compatible Hanwha main unit over an 8-meter cable, letting the visible lens element sit flush in a wall or fixture while the processing electronics stay hidden out of sight. SLA-F2480DSA (often searched as SLA F2480DSA) is built around a fixed 2.45mm focal length tuned for wide-area coverage from a short throw distance.

Key Features

• 5 Megapixel sensor support: resolves enough detail for identification-grade footage in covert applications like point-of-sale counters or access doorways, where you need usable evidence without a bulky housing.
• 2.45mm fixed focal length at F2.0: the short focal length combined with a fast F2.0 maximum aperture ratio pulls in more light and a wider view from close mounting distances — well suited to confined spaces like above a teller window or inside a ceiling void.
• 123° horizontal / 91° vertical field of view: covers a wide swath of a room or counter from a single fixed pinhole point, reducing the number of lens modules needed to blanket a small-format space.
• 8-meter cable run: gives installers real placement flexibility — the lens head can sit in the ceiling, wall, or fixture while the connected main unit is mounted in a separate, more accessible location such as an equipment closet.
• RJ12 mount/connector interface: a standardized connector type that simplifies field termination and swap-out versus a hard-wired pigtail, cutting service time if a lens head ever needs replacement.
• Operating range of -10°C to +55°C: covers most indoor commercial environments, including semi-conditioned back-of-house spaces, without requiring a heated or cooled enclosure.
• 0~95% RH operating humidity: tolerates the humidity swings common in unconditioned utility rooms or storage areas adjacent to the mounting point.
• Compact 48.29 x 37.0 x 174.01mm housing at 124.5g: a small, light lens module that mounts into shallow ceiling voids, teller-counter cutouts, or thin wall sections where a standard camera body has no room to sit.
• Silver finish: blends into light-colored ceiling tile, trim, or fixture surfaces for a lower-profile covert install than a dark camera housing would provide.
• FCC, CE, VCCI, and RCM Class A EMC compliance: confirms the module meets Class A electromagnetic emissions limits for commercial environments across US, European, Japanese, and Australian/New Zealand markets.
• UL 62368-1 and CSA 62368-1 safety listing: the module is evaluated to the current audio/video and IT equipment safety standard for North American commercial deployments.

Integration & Compatibility

Because the SLA-F2480DSA is a remote lens module rather than a standalone network camera, it is designed to pair with a compatible Hanwha main-unit body over its RJ12 interface and 8m cable — confirm main-unit compatibility before specifying this lens head into a covert installation. This approach is common across Hanwha's covert and modular camera lines, where a single main processing unit can pair with different lens-head form factors depending on the mounting constraint. For broader project planning, review the Hanwha catalog for compatible main-unit bodies, or browse IP cameras to compare full camera-and-lens assemblies. If you're speccing a covert install alongside standard fixed cameras on the same job, a camera selection guide can help align lens coverage across mixed form factors. Pair the finished install with a network video recorder for local recording, and budget PoE run lengths using a PoE planning guide if the main unit will be powered over Ethernet at distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the SLA-F2480DSA a complete camera or a lens module?

A: It is a remote lens/sensor head that connects to a compatible Hanwha main unit via an 8-meter cable and RJ12 connector — it is not a standalone self-contained camera.

Q: What resolution does the SLA-F2480DSA support?

A: The module supports 5 Megapixel resolution.

Q: What is the field of view on the SLA-F2480DSA?

A: 123° horizontal and 91° vertical, from a fixed 2.45mm focal length lens at F2.0 maximum aperture.

Q: Can the SLA-F2480DSA be used outdoors?

A: The operating range is -10°C to +55°C with 0~95% RH humidity tolerance; no IP or ingress rating is listed in the available specifications, so treat this as an indoor/protected-location module unless the connected main unit and housing provide additional environmental protection.

Q: How long is the cable on the SLA-F2480DSA?

A: The lens module ships with an 8-meter cable connecting to the main unit.

Q: What safety and EMC certifications does the SLA-F2480DSA carry?

A: FCC Class A, CE Class A, VCCI Class A, and RCM Class A for EMC compliance, plus UL 62368-1 and CSA 62368-1 safety listing.

Ted Perry

The SLA-F2480DSA crosses my desk most often on covert retrofit jobs — teller counters, small offices, reception desks — where a customer wants coverage but doesn't want a visible camera body on the wall. At 2.45mm and F2.0, this lens module is tuned for wide, close-range coverage rather than distance, and the 123°/91° field of view backs that up.

Technical Highlights:

• 2.45mm focal length, F2.0 aperture: the short focal length plus fast aperture pulls a wide scene into frame from a short throw — the right combination for a lens mounted a few feet from its subject, not a hallway looking down a 50-foot corridor.
• 8m cable to the main unit: gives you real routing distance between the lens head and the processing unit, so the visible pinhole can sit in a ceiling tile or counter while the electronics live in a closet or above a drop ceiling out of reach.
• 124.5g, 48.29 x 37.0 x 174.01mm housing: small and light enough to drop into shallow mounting points without reinforcing the surface — this is a component built to disappear, not a fixture meant to be seen.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm main-unit pairing before you spec this into a job — the SLA-F2480DSA is a lens head, not a complete camera, and it needs a compatible Hanwha main unit to record or stream anything.
• There's no IP ingress rating in the spec sheet, only an operating temperature and humidity range — plan this for indoor or enclosure-protected mounting, not an exposed exterior point.

I spec the SLA-F2480DSA for indoor covert installs — bank teller lines, small retail point-of-sale counters, or reception desks — where the job calls for wide coverage from a lens the customer can barely see, and where routing 8 meters of cable back to a closet-mounted main unit is a realistic install path.
