Hanwha SLA-T2480 2MP Fixed Lens Module

Hanwha SLA-T2480 2MP Fixed Lens Module

The Hanwha SLA-T2480 is a compact interchangeable lens module engineered for Hanwha IP cameras built on the modular XNB-6001 platform. This 2MP module delivers wide-angle coverage through a 2.4mm fixed focal length, making it a plug-and-play option for deployments requiring expansive field-of-view without system redesign. The pre-terminated 8-meter cable assembly minimizes installation complexity and reduces potential points of failure in field wiring.

Key Features

• 2MP Resolution at 60fps — Delivers 1920×1200 pixel capture at 60 frames per second, enabling smooth motion trails for forensic review and real-time monitoring without motion blur or stuttering. Useful for tracking movement across retail floors or warehouse aisles where speed of action matters.
• 138° Horizontal Field of View — The 2.4mm fixed lens produces an exceptionally wide horizontal perspective, reducing the number of modules required to cover a target area. In a warehouse or retail environment, this single module can often replace two narrower-lens cameras, lowering equipment and installation costs.
• 0.45 Lux Low-Light Sensitivity — Maintains usable video in dim environments (parking structures, loading docks, pre-dawn retail spaces) without requiring supplemental lighting. This threshold sits at twilight levels—the module won't produce sharp detail in total darkness, but will capture recognizable motion and general shapes when ambient light is minimal.
• 120dB Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) — Automatically balances exposure in mixed-lighting scenes—for example, where skylights flood one half of a warehouse floor while the opposite corner remains shadowed. WDR prevents overexposure near bright windows and preserves shadow detail, critical for forensic use where lighting inconsistency is common.
• 8-Meter Pre-Terminated Cable Assembly — Eliminates field termination work and potential connection errors. The cable length supports flexible module placement relative to the XNB-6001 camera body, enabling positioning where lens angle and coverage are optimized without relocating the main unit.
• XNB-6001 Modular Platform Integration — Designed specifically for the Hanwha XNB-6001 multi-sensor camera chassis. This compatibility ensures electrical and mechanical alignment; the module cannot be used on other camera bodies without adaptation.

Integration & Compatibility

The SLA-T2480 pairs exclusively with the Hanwha modular camera platform, specifically the XNB-6001 chassis. This architecture allows operators to swap lens modules without replacing the entire camera body—a cost advantage if coverage needs change or if a single module fails. Confirm XNB-6001 compatibility in your system architecture before ordering.

Typical Deployments

The SLA-T2480 suits retail and commercial perimeter monitoring, warehouse and logistics surveillance, and multi-tenant security deployments where modular, scalable architectures reduce capital expense. The wide 138° field of view is particularly effective for monitoring large open areas—loading docks, warehouse aisles, retail sales floors—where a single module can cover zones that would otherwise require two or more fixed narrow-angle lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the SLA-T2480 compatible with other Hanwha camera models?

A: No. The SLA-T2480 is engineered exclusively for the XNB-6001 modular platform. It cannot be integrated into other Hanwha camera bodies without custom mechanical adaptation.

Q: Can I use the SLA-T2480 outdoors?

A: The module itself has no published environmental or IP rating in the available evidence. Confirm environmental protection with the XNB-6001 chassis specifications and any housing or enclosure paired with it. The lens module alone is not waterproofed.

Q: What codec compression does the SLA-T2480 support?

A: Compression format is determined by the XNB-6001 platform, not the lens module. Refer to your platform's supported codec list (typically H.265, H.264, and MJPEG on modern Hanwha systems).

Q: How does the 8-meter cable affect installation?

A: The pre-terminated cable reduces field termination work and connection failures. A 26-foot (8-meter) length provides flexibility in module placement relative to the camera body, but you cannot extend or shorten the cable without specialized tools and re-termination. Plan cable routing carefully during initial installation.

Q: Is the 138° FOV distortion-free?

A: Wide-angle lenses inherently introduce barrel distortion—objects at the frame edges appear curved rather than straight. The SLA-T2480 exhibits this characteristic. If distortion correction is critical, confirm that your VMS or recording platform offers lens correction profiles for this module.

Q: Will 0.45 lux sensitivity work in complete darkness?

A: No. 0.45 lux is dim twilight—the module requires *some* ambient light. In total darkness (0 lux), you will need supplemental IR illumination or external lighting. The 0.45 lux rating assumes a small amount of available ambient light.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The Hanwha SLA-T2480 addresses a real operational need in modular camera systems: delivering expansive field coverage without forcing a platform swap. The 138° horizontal field of view from a 2.4mm fixed lens is the headline here—it fundamentally reduces the camera count needed for large open spaces. In a 200-foot warehouse aisle, you might deploy one SLA-T2480 module instead of two narrower 80° lenses, cutting hardware and cabling cost. The pre-terminated 8-meter cable is a pragmatic engineering choice that sidesteps field RJ-45 failures and simplifies logistics.

Technical Highlights:

• 0.45 Lux Sensitivity: Competitive for a fixed-lens module—maintains usable video in parking structures and loading docks without supplemental lighting. However, this is twilight-level; expect grayscale, limited detail, and motion trails rather than color forensic clarity. Plan accordingly for 24/7 coverage in marginal light zones.
• 120dB WDR: Critical spec for mixed-lighting scenes—skylights near warehouse bay doors or retail windows create difficult high-contrast scenarios. The wide dynamic range prevents the blown-out glare you'd see near a bright window while preserving shadow detail in the corners, essential for forensic playback.
• 60fps Frame Rate: Smooth motion capture supports both live-action tracking (security personnel monitoring real-time alerts) and frame-by-frame forensic analysis. 60fps also masks motion blur when tracking fast movement—retail checkout lines, loading dock forklifts, logistics flow.

Deployment Considerations:

• The SLA-T2480 is XNB-6001-only; it will not retrofit onto other Hanwha camera bodies. Verify platform compatibility during procurement. Swapping modules is straightforward once installed, but you are locked into that chassis family.
• The 138° field of view introduces barrel distortion—straight lines at frame edges appear curved. This is inherent to wide-angle optics, not a manufacturing defect. If distortion correction is non-negotiable (forensic measurement, license-plate capture), confirm your VMS supports lens undistortion profiles for this module, or choose a narrower-angle lens variant.
• The 8-meter cable is fixed; you cannot shorten or extend it without re-termination. Route this cable carefully during initial mount—slack is acceptable, but routing changes require disconnection and careful re-work.

The SLA-T2480 is most effective in retail floor surveillance, warehouse open-space monitoring, and logistics facilities where a single wide-angle perspective can replace two or three conventional fixed cameras. Pair it with a compatible network video recorder and a managed PoE switch to complete the deployment architecture.
