Wide Angle lens – CCL127029MPF

CCL127029MPF-164° F2.2 High-Resolution Wide Angle 1/2.7″ 2 – Megapixel M12 – mount CCTV lens with IR cut, security surveillance HD lens.

2.9mm M12 Wide Angle Lens

This 2.9mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact camera systems requiring extremely broad scene coverage from a short focal length. With a 164° diagonal FOV, 130° horizontal FOV, F2.2 aperture, and M12×0.5 mount, it is well suited for panoramic monitoring, compact security cameras, embedded vision modules, and other applications where maximizing camera coverage is a priority.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

• 164° Ultra-Wide FOV: Captures an exceptionally broad scene from a compact camera module.
• 130° Horizontal Coverage: Helps reduce blind spots in wide-area monitoring applications.
• 2MP Imaging: Provides practical image resolution for compact surveillance and embedded camera systems.
• 2.9mm Fixed Focal Length: Provides an extremely wide perspective without requiring a variable zoom mechanism.
• M12×0.5 Compact Mount: Supports integration into space-constrained camera modules and embedded imaging devices.

With such a wide field of view, focal length and sensor format have a significant effect on the final image coverage. Engineers can use the FOV Calculator to estimate the coverage provided by this lens in a specific camera configuration.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.9mm M12 Wide Angle lens is designed for applications where maximizing the visible area is more important than minimizing geometric distortion. Its 164° diagonal and 130° horizontal field of view allow a single compact camera to monitor a very broad area, making it particularly valuable when camera installation positions are fixed or when reducing the number of cameras is desirable.

The lens is well suited for indoor panoramic surveillance, compact ceiling-mounted security cameras, entrance and exit monitoring, retail environment observation, small-room monitoring, and embedded smart-camera products. The 0.2m minimum object distance also makes it suitable for relatively close-range wide-area observation where the camera needs to capture a large scene around its installation point.

Unlike a conventional narrow-FOV M12 lens, this optical design prioritizes maximum scene coverage. The resulting geometric distortion is therefore an expected characteristic of the ultra-wide optical configuration rather than a defect to be treated as a low-distortion design.

For broader security system integration, the Smart Security solution provides additional information about optical solutions for intelligent surveillance applications.

Compatible Device List

• Panoramic Security Cameras: Suitable for compact cameras that need to capture a very broad area from a single installation position.
• Ceiling-Mounted Cameras: The ultra-wide FOV can help monitor rooms, entrances, corridors, and other enclosed areas from elevated mounting positions.
• Retail Surveillance Cameras: Useful for monitoring stores, checkout areas, small retail spaces, and customer activity zones.
• Entrance & Access Monitoring: Suitable for capturing broad scenes around doors, gates, and access points.
• Compact Embedded Cameras: The M12×0.5 mount supports integration into small-form-factor camera modules.
• IoT Security Devices: Can be integrated into smart cameras and connected monitoring devices requiring wide-area coverage.
• Indoor Panoramic Vision Systems: Suitable for applications where a single camera must cover a large surrounding area.

Designed for ultra-wide indoor surveillance, panoramic monitoring, and compact security camera applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 2.9mm lens?
A: It is a fixed focal length M12 fisheye-style wide angle lens with a 2.9mm focal length and an extremely broad 164° diagonal field of view.

Q: What is the field of view of this M12 Wide Angle lens?
A: The lens provides a 164° diagonal FOV, 130° horizontal FOV, and 66° vertical FOV when used with the specified OV2710 configuration.

Q: Is this lens suitable for panoramic surveillance?
A: Yes. Its 130° horizontal FOV and 164° diagonal FOV make it suitable for applications requiring very broad scene coverage from a single compact camera.

Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified TV distortion is below 26%, and the lens is designed primarily for extremely wide coverage rather than low-distortion imaging.

Q: What sensor is this lens designed for?
A: The specified configuration uses a 1/2.7″ image format and references the OV2710 sensor.

Q: Is the lens IR corrected?
A: The specification states that the lens includes an IR cut component. This does not by itself confirm IR-corrected optical performance.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified minimum object distance is 0.2m, making the lens suitable for relatively close-range wide-area imaging.

Q: Can this lens be used for smart security cameras?
A: Yes. Its compact M12 mount and extremely wide field of view make it suitable for selected smart security and panoramic monitoring camera designs.

Optical Selection & Related Resources

Selecting an ultra-wide M12 Wide Angle lens requires consideration of more than focal length. Sensor format, field of view, working distance, image distortion, and camera mounting position all influence the final imaging result. The Lens Selection Guide can help engineers evaluate these factors when choosing a compact camera lens.

Because this 2.9mm lens provides a 130° horizontal field of view, it is particularly suited to systems where broad scene coverage is the primary requirement. For additional information about M12 optical solutions, explore the M12 Lenses product range.
