Axis 02094-001 8MP CS P-Iris Lens 3.9-10mm

The Axis 8MP Lens CS P-Iris (3.9-10mm F1.5), model 02094-001, is a precision optical component engineered for high-resolution surveillance systems. This varifocal lens delivers exceptional image quality across a wide range of focal lengths, making it ideal for security integrators deploying Axis 8MP cameras in diverse monitoring environments. The IR-corrected design ensures accurate color rendition and superior performance in challenging lighting conditions.

Key Features

• 8MP resolution optimization with 1/1.8" sensor compatibility
• 3.9–10mm varifocal range for flexible framing and coverage
• F1.5 maximum aperture for excellent low-light performance
• P-Iris control for automatic iris adjustment and enhanced depth of field
• IR-corrected optics for accurate color in near-infrared conditions
• CS-mount design for rapid installation and compatibility
• Compact form factor: 59 x 56mm (2.3 x 2.2 inches)

Technical Highlights

Optical Performance: The 3.9–10mm focal length range provides approximately 2.6x zoom capability, enabling operators to frame subjects across wide-area monitoring and targeted observation scenarios. The F1.5 aperture maximizes light transmission, delivering crisp imagery in low-light environments without relying solely on electronic gain.

P-Iris Control: Motorized iris adjustment maintains optimal depth of field and contrast across varying illumination levels. This automated control prevents iris-induced motion artifacts and ensures consistent image quality throughout the day, particularly valuable in applications with rapidly changing light conditions.

IR Correction: The lens is corrected for infrared wavelengths, ensuring proper focus and color accuracy when used with cameras featuring IR illumination. This prevents color shift and focus drift common in uncorrected lenses.

Applications

• Retail and commercial premises monitoring
• Industrial facility surveillance
• Transportation and traffic management
• Critical infrastructure security
• Campus and perimeter protection

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

The 02094-001 represents a versatile lens choice for integrators balancing coverage flexibility with optical performance. The varifocal range permits installation in various mounting positions while maintaining image quality, reducing project-level lens inventory requirements. P-Iris technology is particularly advantageous in outdoor deployments where iris hunting (oscillation) can degrade video analytics and viewer experience.

The IR correction ensures reliable operation when paired with cameras featuring supplemental IR emitters, a common requirement in 24/7 security operations. CS-mount compatibility confirms broad camera compatibility across the Axis portfolio.
