Description

Pelco MI9-50P CS-Mount 9-50mm Varifocal Lens

The Pelco MI9-50P is a precision CS-mount varifocal lens engineered for professional surveillance applications requiring medium to telephoto coverage. With a 9–50mm focal range and P-iris control, this lens delivers flexible framing and superior depth-of-field management across dynamic lighting conditions, making it ideal for perimeter monitoring, parking lot surveillance, and long-range license-plate capture.

Key Features

  • 9–50mm varifocal focal range for medium to telephoto coverage
  • P-iris mechanism for precise aperture and depth-of-field control
  • CS-mount compatibility with Pelco Sarix Pro 3 and other CS-mount camera systems
  • Optimized for license-plate recognition and perimeter surveillance
  • NDAA Section 889 compliant for government and regulated deployments
  • Designed for stable mounting on vibration-free surfaces at telephoto settings

Technical Highlights

P-iris technology provides superior iris control compared to standard DC-iris designs, ensuring consistent image quality across varying ambient light. The varifocal design enables operators to adjust focal length without lens replacement, reducing inventory complexity and deployment time. CS-mount interface ensures broad compatibility with commercial and industrial camera platforms.

Installation & Compatibility

Verify that your host camera supports P-iris control signaling before deployment. Confirm CS-mount mechanical fit and sensor format alignment. At 50mm telephoto settings, mounting stability is critical—use a rigid, vibration-damped support structure. For wider coverage, consider the MI3.9-10P or M2.7-13 alternatives. IR-corrected optics may be required for infrared-illuminated applications.

Applications

Ideal for access control perimeters, parking facility monitoring, traffic enforcement, and medium-range facial recognition. Professional surveillance integrators rely on this lens for deployments requiring flexible focal length adjustment and precise iris automation in mixed-lighting environments.

Warranty: 1-year limited warranty backed by Pelco's global support network.
