Premium lenses

Premium lenses have higher-grade optics, with more glass elements, so they stay sharp across the whole image. On the other lenses, sharpness drops towards the edges.

If you use the Crop feature (2K cameras), prefer a premium lens: when you pan/tilt within the sensor, the edges of the image end up in the frame, and cropping magnifies any loss of sharpness.

RAIN S-mount​

We offer a range of high quality S-mount lenses designed specifically for the RAIN

warning

These lenses are designed specifically for the RAIN. From an optical point of view, they're identical to their "normal lens" counterpart, but they're mechanically designed to keep the camera IP67

Footnotes​

  1. the camera HAS reverse polarity protection ↩

  2. 1080p60 cold camera ↩

  3. IP67 stands for Ingress Protection, the camera is weatherproof, it can be placed outdoor without any issue, but isn't totally waterproof. 6 reflects the solid particles protection (6 = dust-tight), 7 reflects the liquid protection (7 = 1m deep for 30 min) ↩
