AXIS 01235-001 is a black interchangeable lens designed for use with compatible AXIS network security cameras. As an optical accessory, it changes the field of view and imaging characteristics of the camera without requiring replacement of the camera body, enabling tailored surveillance setups in professional installations.
Advantages
This interchangeable camera lens provides a simple way to adapt the optical performance of an AXIS camera to specific site requirements. The black finish reduces visible reflections and integrates discreetly with most camera housings. Because it is a dedicated replacement lens, it preserves camera electronics while allowing changes to angle of view and image framing for improved scene coverage.
Suitable for
- Professional surveillance installations where different focal lengths or fields of view are needed
- Maintenance or repair situations requiring lens replacement without swapping the camera body
- Indoor and outdoor camera housings that support interchangeable lenses from the same manufacturer
When it may not be suitable
This lens is intended only for AXIS cameras that support interchangeable optics of the matching mount and optical specifications. It is not suitable for cameras with fixed, non-removable lenses or for third-party cameras with incompatible mounts. If your project requires features such as integrated autofocus, motorized zoom, or an exact specified focal length not provided by this lens, consider verifying compatibility or selecting another lens model.
Key specifications
- Color: black
- Type: interchangeable camera lens for network security cameras
- Intended use: modify optical characteristics (field of view, framing) of compatible cameras
- Compatibility: designed for AXIS network cameras that accept interchangeable lenses
How to use
Before installation, power down the camera and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for removing the existing lens. Align the lens mount with the camera’s lens interface and secure it according to AXIS guidelines to ensure proper seating and optical alignment. After mounting, power up the camera and adjust focus, framing, and exposure settings from the camera’s configuration interface or on-site controls to achieve the desired image quality. Carry out a test recording or live view check to confirm coverage and sharpness.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm that your AXIS camera model supports interchangeable lenses and uses the same mount type
- Verify that the optical characteristics (field of view, intended focal length) meet your surveillance needs
- Check whether additional features (IR compatibility, focusing method) are required for your installation
- Ensure physical fit and weatherproofing requirements for the intended camera housing or enclosure
Usage recommendations
Handle the lens carefully to avoid touching optical surfaces. Use appropriate tools and follow AXIS installation guidance for mounting and focusing. After installation, perform a site-specific check of coverage and image quality, and, if needed, fine-tune camera exposure and focus from the camera’s web interface or configuration software.
