    I have a robotic camera,
    this is it here. http://www.lifa.net/brochures/en/duct_control_160109_4.pdf
    But some grease got on the lens, so we took it out to clean and it got lost.
    Would anyone know where i could source one of these? We cant get one of the company that make it, as there was a dispute with them.
    Is there anywhere in Ireland that makes lenses.

    It was about two thousand euros i believe. It is a very cool little toy. It records the video in hd and all, and is water and steam proof too. Its annoying we lost the lens.
    Everything just comes up blurry now.

    All opticians make lenses - albeit for glasses but the technology can't be much different.

    Why not try one of the Lifa Air agents in the UK or one of the others listed at the bottom of the brochure?

    Would it have been similar to any of these CCTV lenses ?

    Any idea about the lens mount?
    It's probably a C-mount.

    If you dismantled it to clean you might be able to get a model number from the camera in it. Even if it's a board mounted unit.

    We had a falling out with the lifa company. I think its again boards rules to say why. But we cant go to them. I'll open it up this evening, hopefully ill be able to sort something out.
    Never thought of an optician, might try one of them.

    If you are not on speaking terms with manufacturer then get a friend to order a replacement lens for you.
