Wider Angle, Lower Cost
By replacing several standard cameras with one megapixel camera using Theia’s ultra wide lens, you can save money on installation, monitoring, and maintenance. With Theia's ultra wide no distortion lens on a megapixel camera, the entire wide image is continually recorded, even while digitally panning and zooming from area to area.
New Technology
Theia Technologies has introduced the world’s first ultra wide rectilinear lens for the security and machine vision markets. Theia’s proprietary  Linear Optical Technology allows the design of ultra wide angle lenses with fields of view of panoramic proportions, up to 135° while almost completely eliminating barrel image distortion.

Fisheye lens |
Unlike a fisheye lens which only illuminates about 2/3 of the image sensor (leaving 1/3 of the pixels dark), the image from Theia’s lens completely covers the image sensor.
135° Field of View, No Fisheye Distortion
Distortion correction is achieved optically using Theia’s patented Linear Optical Technology. Barrel distortion (also known as fisheye distortion) causes information at the edges of the image to be compressed and lost. The information is unrecoverable through software. Theia’s rectilinear lens increases the ease of detection and identification at the edges of the image using optical distortion correction. No software is required!
Award winning technology
Theia’s ultra wide, no distortion lenses won the Security Industry Association’s (SIA’s) Special Achievement in Innovation award at the ISC West show in April 2008 and Security Sales and Integration (SSI) magazine’s Show Stealer award at ISC East in September 2007.

"We used Theia lenses in our high school for the main hall ring and outside in the parking lots using 5 megapixel cameras. Every installer we contacted said the angles were way too aggressive and wanted us to double our cameras and halve the angles at the very least. We actually got into a few heated arguments with a few vendors and installers. We did the math, and we knew the camera could pull it off, we just had to find a lens that could prove them all wrong.
We went searching and the only thing that met our specs was the Theia lens. Jaws dropped when they saw the pictures; not only did we get the massively wide angles we needed, but we did it without the fisheye everyone told us was impossible to avoid, and every single dot in the 5.1 million pixel image is fully utilized and warp-free.
We still shake our heads in disbelief when we walk by a flat panel showing these lenses. We could not have done it without Theia. You guys are not only one of the only choices for such wide angles, your lens output outperforms everything there is. There is no higher quality wide angle lens on the planet!"
