Board Camera Lenses
In recent years, surveillance equipment has broadened its reach into the private sector. Initially, government officials and private investigators only used surveillance equipment. Because of decreased costs and overall availability, more people are finding uses for this specialized equipment.
Due to the increase in technology, millions of people are now using things such as nanny cams to check on their babysitter and surveillance cameras around the home to keep an eye on their property while they are away. The truth being, no evidence is as compelling as visual evidence; so catching someone in the act on camera leads to more truth and more convictions and ability to recover damages when the time comes.
The technology behind board lenses is basically very simple from the standpoint that it is no more than a fixed lens mounted on a circuit board. The uses range from mini cameras to dome cameras to unpackaged cameras, which can then be mounted to the user to fit the camera and the ever-important lenses into unnoticeable places.
The lenses in these cameras are either full opened lenses or pinhole lenses in which the opening of the lens itself is very small. Pinhole lenses, other times referred to as spy cameras are the most often used for hidden camera applications and many times security applications.
Typical lenses in board cameras are pre-mounted and have fixed iris which means they have a wide angle of view. The fact that many of these lenses have fixed features and are limited as to their applications, many consumers use them because of their low cost solutions to security needs.
Finally, the functionality of these lenses can be wired into everyday life meaning they could connect right to a DVR, for capturing and recording everything that the lens picks up throughout the day. For more information contact Universe Optics for all your standard and custom lens design needs.
