Theia’s 4K lenses are designed for use in high-detail imaging tasks such as ANPR or OCR in intelligent traffic systems, automation, robotics, and video surveillance applications. The 4K lenses come in 4-10mm, 6-10mm and 12-50mm focal ranges, provide 12 megapixel, 300 lp/mm resolution and are IR-corrected from 435 – 940nm to maintain their high-resolution performance in the near IR spectrum.

The lenses are offered in manual, DC Auto, or P-iris versions, in CS, C mount and D25 board mount depending on the model.  The lenses cover 2/3”, 1/1.7” and 1/2.3” image sensor formats or smaller. 

Fully-motorised versions are also available, with motorised zoom and focus and combinations with optional integrated IR cut or bandpass filters and photo-interrupter motor stops. The motorised lenses allow for remote set up and occasional zooming and re-focus. Theia also offers motor control boards designed to control the P-iris lens versions. 

Choosing the right lens for your application depends on many factors including field of view, required image resolution, multi-spectral capability, image format and mount. To assist in lens selection, Theia offers an image resolution simulator and lens calculator that relates field of view object distance and image resolution. We offer many educational materials for a better understanding of our lens technology and selection of the optimal lens for your application. 

Theia lenses are designed and marketed from the US and manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Theia’s process of precision engineering, prototype development and validation ensure every lens shipped to our customers will be of consistently high quality. Theia also provides optical engineering and custom design services.

Theia has numerous issued and pending US and foreign patents for lens technologies.

    Theia Technologies launches ML610M 6-10mm varifocal lens
    Theia Technologies is showcasing its range of 4K and megapixel NIR corrected lenses for ITS. The telephoto lenses are used for long distance, high detail applications such as ANPR/LPR and tolling. They maintain 4K and 5+ megapixel resolutions even in near IR light and include models with Precise iris, or P-iris for improved depth of field. The lenses are compact for their telephoto focal range, size format and full feature capability, including models with motorised zoom, focus and IR cut filter. When a

    Theia develops innovative distortion-free ultra-wide-angle lenses
    Today’s high-resolution cameras have many advantages if they have the right lens for the job. When that includes covering large areas or reducing cost by installing fewer cameras, you need a wide-angle lens. Fisheye style lenses with barrel distortion are routinely used to cover an ultra-wide field of view; however, they create a curved and distorted image which causes significant loss of resolution at the image edges. This presents a variety of issues for ITS applications such as difficulty in identification or recognition of objects and details.
