Marshall - 3.20 mmf/2 - Fixed Lens for CS Mount

Engineered for security professionals and discerning photographers alike, the Marshall 3.20 mm f/2 fixed lens for CS-mount cameras delivers crisp, reliable imaging in a compact, plug‑and‑play package. This lens is purpose‑built to slot into standard CS‑mount surveillance cameras, offering a fast aperture, compact dimensions, and a fixed focal length that ensures consistent framing across deployments. Its 3.20 mm focal length provides a broad field of view ideal for entryways, corridors, and tight camera housings, while the fast f/2 aperture enhances light gathering in challenging lighting scenarios. With a length of 1.5 inches and a diameter of 1.1 inches, this lens remains unobtrusive in discreet security installations, helping you maintain image quality without drawing attention to the camera itself.

• Wide, fixed focal length for versatile surveillance coverage: The 3.20 mm focal length is designed to maximize scene coverage in compact camera enclosures, enabling operators to monitor wide areas without the need for zoom or motorized focus adjustments. This makes it a dependable choice for hallways, entrances, lobbies, and small rooms where space is at a premium.
• Bright, fast aperture for superior low-light performance: An opening of f/2 delivers excellent light transmission, helping to preserve detail and color fidelity in dim environments. This is particularly beneficial for night surveillance, dusk-to-dawn monitoring, and settings where artificial lighting is limited or uneven.
• CS-mount compatibility with compact dimensions: Built to integrate seamlessly with standard CS-mount cameras, the lens offers a compact footprint—1.5 inches in length and 1.1 inches in diameter—making it a natural fit for compact domes, boxed housings, and other space‑constrained installations.
• Reliable performance for professional security and photography workflows: While targeted at surveillance, the Marshall fixed CS-mount lens is described as a high‑performance optic suitable for professional contexts. This combination of reliability and predictable imaging makes it attractive for integrators, security professionals, and photographers who require stable, repeatable results.
• Durable construction designed for demanding environments: Marshall emphasizes robust optics and tolerances, ensuring consistent performance across a range of lighting conditions and operational environments commonly encountered in security deployments and studio settings alike.
