Pelco M1.8-3 Ultra-Wide Varifocal CS-Mount Lens

Pelco M1.8-3 Ultra-Wide Varifocal CS-Mount Lens

The Pelco M1.8-3 is a CS-mount varifocal lens engineered for ultra-wide field of view coverage in compact spaces. With a 1.8–3mm focal length range and F2.0 maximum aperture, this lens delivers exceptional situational awareness for ceiling-mounted installations in confined environments such as elevator cars, ATM alcoves, and small rooms requiring complete wall-to-wall visibility from a single camera position.

Key Features

• 1.8–3mm varifocal focal length range
• F2.0 maximum aperture for low-light performance
• CS-mount compatibility with standard box cameras
• Ultra-wide field of view for overview coverage
• Suitable for compact and confined space installations

Technical Specifications

This lens is optimized for Pelco camera systems and professional surveillance deployments. The ultra-wide focal length produces slight barrel distortion at frame edges—acceptable for situational awareness and human monitoring but may impact analytics requiring rectilinear geometry. For extended focal ranges with reduced distortion, consider the M2.7-13 or YV2.8X28SR4A alternatives. NDAA Section 889 compliant for government and regulated installations.

Applications

Ideal for banking security, transportation hubs, retail environments, and institutional facilities requiring comprehensive overview coverage in tight spaces. Engineered for seamless integration into professional Pelco surveillance systems and enterprise-grade deployment standards.

Support

Backed by a 1-year warranty and Pelco's global service network. Specialty Distributor support and RMA processes available through IPSD and official channels.
