Using Manual Iris Lenses 
Choosing the lens correctly is very important for megapixel cameras. Poorly selected lenses may cause the 
image to appear blurry when the lens iris is fully open or closed too much. 
To deliver sharp megapixel resolution images, it is recommended to: 
  Use megapixel-resolution lenses 
  Obtain best resolution and depth of focus by having the iris slightly closed 
When setting up the camera, direct the camera at the scene, fully open the iris, and then try closing the iris 
slightly. At some point the image will look it’s sharpest. However,
 do not close down the iris too much to the 
point where the image becomes too noisy due to insufficient light.
Auto-Iris Lenses 
Standard DC auto-iris lenses can be used with AV1300/1115-AI, AV2100/2115-AI, AV3100/3115-AI, 
AV5100/5115-AI, AV1305-AI, AV2105-AI, AV3105-AI, and AV5105-AI and AV10115 -AI (cameras equipped 
with the auto-iris feature).

Using Auto-Iris Lenses 
AV1300-AI, AV1305-AI, AV2100-AI, AV2105-AI, AV3100-AI, AV3105-AI, AV5100-AI and AV5105-AI are 
available with DC auto-iris option. 
To use the DC auto-iris lens: 
  Attach the lens to the Arecont Vision camera. 
  Plug in the lens cable into the connector on the back of the camera. Make sure that the lens cable is 
long enough. Many DC lenses are available with short and long cable options. 
The camera will automatically detect the presence of an auto-iris DC lens and start using it.
