Adjusting the Focus
AXIS 200+ Camera Server
Your AXIS 200+ is delivered in approximate focus position, with focus set to infinity. The lens has
rotational focus control. To fine adjust to close focus, carefully turn the smaller lens.
If you cannot get a sharp picture, screw the smaller lens to its end and loosen the lock ring. Direct
the camera towards a distant object and bring the camera into focus by turning the entire lens
mount. Remember to tighten the lock ring afterwards.
Note:
The lens assembly rotates on a screw fitting and can be completely removed. If you need to
remove the lens, take care not to let any dust enter the lens as this will effect the quality of your
snapshots.
Check the result of the adjustments by taking some new pictures. Use one of the automatic
updating functions to monitor the focus changes.
Because the AXIS 200+ is designed with a CS-mount, the lens supplied with your product can be
replaced with any standard CS lens, typically used within the surveillance industry. A C-mount lens
will also work with the AXIS 200+ Camera Server if used with an adaptor that effectively provides
a spacer with two female 1-32 threads and moves a lens 5mm farther from the camera. See
Appendix B or the AXIS 200+ Camera Server User’s Manual for more information.
AXIS 240 Camera Server
Adjust the focus of the camera(s) connected to your AXIS 240. Refer to your camera
documentation for information on how to do this.
