• PENTAX, (formerly COSMICAR), is a pioneer of the CCTV Lens industry providing high quality and high performance lenses combined with the latest innovative optical technologies. The Pentax line of CCTV Lenses is diverse in that the range of lenses offered fulfills most application demands including;
  • Crime Registration & Prevention
  • Some businesses and homes even use fake/dummy CCTV cameras because of their effectiveness on deterring crime. Simply where you place a CCTV camera can help deter crime. Crimes are often solved and only solved with the help of CCTV evidence. Face recognition software allows police to scan through millions of CCTV images to find a match to a criminal or missing person.
  • Increasing Factory Automation and Industrial Process efficiency
  • Industrial processes which take place under conditions dangerous for humans and are today often supervised by CCTV. Machine vision lenses are employed for a variety of factory automation purposes. Many products you buy these days go by a CCTV lens for inspection and quality assurance. The use of CCTV lenses in such processes is sometimes required by law.
  • Internet Cameras, Child Care, and Pet Monitoring
  • CCTV lenses are common in web cams allowing people to easily monitor children, pets, and property from a computer while away.
  • Photography (Closed Circuit Digital Photography)
  • CCTV megapixel lenses are used in digital still cameras that can take high resolution images of a scene either on a time lapse or motion detection basis. Images taken with a digital still camera have higher resolution than those taken with a typical video camera.
  • Traffic Monitoring
  • Traffic cameras let you remotely see traffic and weather conditions. Cities use CCTV cameras to detect congestion and find accidents. Toll ways use CCTV cameras to detect auto-pay stickers on your vehicle. CCTV cameras automatically read the license plates of cars for road side emissions tests, and to detect cars reported stolen.
  • Surveillance (Homeland Security, Border Patrol, Government, FBI)
  • CCTV is used for surveillance in areas which need monitoring like banks, casinos, airports, military installations and convenience stores. This allows monitoring and recording of multiple areas at once from a central location. PENTAX CCTV lenses are used by the government for homeland security and border patrol.
  • Safety Monitoring
  • CCTV systems are installed in a variety of places where an operator of a machine cannot directly observe people who could be injured. Subway train CCTV cameras allow the operator to confirm that people are clear of the doors. Dashboard monitors make reversing a vehicle safer. Operators of amusement park rides use CCTV cameras to observe people who could be endangered. PENTAX CCTV lenses are always looking out for you.
  • Security in Banks, Airports, Casinos, Terminals, Homes and Businesses
  • Security is one of the most common uses of PENTAX CCTV lenses. CCTV security cameras are found in many places these days. The most measurable effect of CCTV is not on crime prevention, but on detection and prosecution. The quality of the lens is a factor when it comes to recognizing a face. Crime rates have dramatically reduced in the United Kingdom with the widespread use of CCTV cameras. PENTAX quality pinhole and zoom lenses can be watching your every move.
