i-PRO PLAMP0850A Varifocal Auto Iris Lens
Overview
The PLAMP0850A is an 8–50mm varifocal lens engineered for 1/2.7" sensor cameras. The F1.6 maximum aperture paired with an auto iris mechanism automatically adjusts to changing light conditions — from bright outdoor scenes to interior spaces — without requiring manual aperture adjustment. The 8–50mm focal length delivers field-of-view flexibility across retail floors, corridors, and mixed indoor/outdoor deployments where fixed-lens cameras cannot adapt to evolving coverage needs. This lens is no longer in production; use this information for reference and compatibility verification.
Compatibility
The PLAMP0850A is designed for i-PRO camera models equipped with a 1/2.7" sensor and compatible lens mount. Before ordering, verify your camera's sensor size and mechanical lens mount specification against the lens barrel and electrical connector. The auto iris integration requires a compatible camera control interface — standard on most i-PRO varifocal-generation models, but confirmation with your camera's technical documentation is essential to ensure proper electrical and mechanical fit. Contact the manufacturer to verify compatibility with your specific camera model.
Installation Notes
Varifocal lens installation demands careful post-mount focus and iris adjustment. Clean the camera body and lens barrel thoroughly before assembly to prevent dust ingress into the optical path or sensor. Seat the auto iris cable fully in the camera's iris connector — a loose connection prevents automatic aperture response to light changes, forcing manual iris adjustment and risking image wash-out in bright conditions or underexposure indoors. Confirm proper iris cable seating before commissioning the camera.
