Description

Pelco SL940P-MSI Lens

Overview

The Pelco SL940P-MSI is a 9-40mm F1.5 varifocal lens designed for 1/2.7" image sensors, offering a flexible field of view for surveillance applications. It supports high frame rates and extended dynamic range, making it suitable for environments with challenging lighting conditions. The lens integrates with systems requiring RS-485 communication and local storage via dual microSD card slots. This lens is a component for building custom surveillance solutions where precise optical control is needed.

Compatibility

This lens is engineered for use with Pelco cameras featuring 1/2.7" or similar sized sensors that support a 9-40mm focal length range and require an CS mount. It is compatible with cameras supporting up to 5MP resolution and high frame rate modes (60 fps). The integrated RS-485 terminal allows direct communication with compatible Pelco camera systems for control and configuration.

Installation Notes

Mounting is via standard 1/4"-20 UNC threads on the top and bottom. The lens requires a compatible camera body with an CS mount. Power consumption is a maximum of 13W, typically supplied via PoE IEEE 802.3af Class 3 or 12-24VDC external power. Operating temperature range is -10°C to +65°C (14°F to 149°F).
