7913 Kowa has added new lenses for day and night traffic applications to its portfolio. The 5MP 2/3-inch IR corrected lens series, previously only available in P-Iris and DC-Iris versions, is now also available as a manual version. All three versions are available in the focal lengths of 16, 25 and 35mm.

In addition, Kowa offers a range of full format and C-mount lenses suitable for the special requirements of ITS applications such as higher resolution and faster F-stop. An especially wide selection of oneinch image size lenses for tolling and speed control applications is also available, with 4MP and 6MP resolutions as well as a ruggedized series. For certain focal lengths common to ITS applications the focus ring of the lenses can be mechanically modified, making it easier to focus at distances of 10-45m.
