An optoelectronic apparatus (10) is provided in a stationary mounting at a monitored zone (14) with objects (12) to be detected, wherein the apparatus has an image sensor (18) for generating shots of the objects (12); a receiving optics (16) associated with the image sensor (18) and with an adaptive lens (42) having a variable tilt; and an evaluation unit (20) for determining object information from a shot. The evaluation unit (20) is in this respect configured to derive the movement behavior of an object (12) to be taken from an external input signal (28) and to tilt the adaptive lens (42) during a shot of the object (12) such that the movement of the object (12) is compensated.
