The Wide lens Axis 5504-961 camera lens is a specialized optical component designed to enhance the capabilities of compatible IP cameras. Featuring a fixed focal length of 6 mm, this black lens is engineered to deliver a reliable field of view for various monitoring requirements. It serves as an optional megapixel lens solution for compact network cameras, providing alternative viewing angles and expanding the operational versatility of supported camera models such as the AXIS M3011, M3113-R, P3904-R, P3905-R, and P3915-R.
Advantages
This wide lens allows users to modify and optimize the field of view on selected compact network cameras, offering greater flexibility during installation and system design. By choosing alternative focal lengths, operators can achieve precise framing for specific observation areas without needing to replace the entire camera unit. The optical component is carefully selected to maintain high image quality while adapting the camera to different spatial environments and viewing distance requirements.
Suitable for
- Surveillance applications requiring a specific field of view adjustments
- Compact network camera installations in transport and vehicle environments
- Retail and office spaces monitored by compatible Axis security cameras
- Customized security setups utilizing M-series and P-series network cameras
When it may not be suitable
This lens may not be suitable if your specific camera model is not listed among the officially supported Axis devices, as mounting compatibility and optical alignment depend on the exact design. It is also not recommended for users seeking variable zoom capabilities, since this component features a fixed focal length and cannot adjust dynamically after installation.
Key specifications
- Fixed focal length of 6 mm
- Color: Black
- Compatible with selected Axis M-series and P-series IP cameras
- Designed for compact network camera systems
How to use
Installation of the camera lens should be performed in a clean environment to prevent dust or debris from settling on the optical surfaces or the camera sensor. Begin by powering down the network camera and carefully removing the existing lens if applicable. Screw the 6 mm lens into the designated M12 mount of the compatible Axis camera until secure, taking care not to overtighten. Power the camera back on and adjust the focus manually if required to achieve a clear and sharp image for your surveillance area.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the exact model of your existing IP camera to ensure compatibility with this lens
- Confirm whether a 6 mm fixed focal length meets your specific monitoring distance and angle requirements
- Ensure you have the technical readiness to perform the lens replacement safely without damaging sensitive internal components
Usage recommendations: Handle the lens strictly by its outer edges to avoid smudging or scratching the glass surfaces. Always test the field of view and focus in a controlled setting before finalizing the physical installation of the camera system.
