A fitness chain in South Africa is using vari-focal lenses from Rainbow CCTV at its gymnasium and leisure complexes.
The lenses employed are the 3-8mm and 5-50mm models which are being used with internal cameras, mainly high-resolution colour units. The installer is Johannesburg-based Spidereye who are exploiting audio channels on their own brand of DVRs to offer the client sound recording.

About the lenses
Rainbow’s 3-8mm varifocal lenses correct the focus shift that occurs when using IR lighting and are suitable for IR and non-IR applications, the makers report. These CS-mount lenses are compatible with 1/3 and 1/4” cameras. Zoom and focus are adjusted manually and include locking screws. The lens is available in manual or auto-iris. The lenses feature all-glass optics. They are colour corrected and compatible with all leading camera brands. All Rainbow lenses are covered by a four-year warranty, the makers add.
