CCTV Lens – CCL1308MMP

CCL1308MMP is 1/3″ 8mm IR corrected CCTV lens, CS mount lens with Low F-number (Fast Lenses), F1.2 High-Performance low-light sensitive lens.

8mm CS-Mount IR Corrected CCTV Lens

This 8mm CS-Mount IR Corrected Lens is designed for 1/3″ imaging sensors and delivers a 34.5° horizontal field of view with a fast F1.2 aperture. Its manual iris, manual focus, 0.2m minimum object distance, and IR-corrected optical design make it a practical fixed focal lens for CCTV, industrial imaging, and machine vision systems requiring stable image performance across visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

As part of TOWIN’s CS-Mount Lenses, this lens provides a flexible solution for compact security cameras, industrial inspection equipment, and day/night imaging devices where optical consistency and low-light performance are important.

CS-Mount CCTV Lens Core Highlights

• 8mm Fixed Focal Length: Provides a 34.5° horizontal FOV for controlled medium-angle scene coverage.
• Fast F1.2 Aperture: Supports brighter imaging in low-light environments and helps maintain image quality with limited illumination.
• IR Corrected Optical Design: Helps maintain focus consistency when switching between visible light and near-infrared illumination.
• Manual Optical Control: Manual iris and focus allow installers and system integrators to fine-tune the lens for specific imaging conditions.
• CS-Mount Compatibility: Designed for 1/3″ CS-mount camera systems used in CCTV, industrial imaging, and machine vision applications.

CS-Mount CCTV Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

The optical configuration of this 8mm CS-Mount fixed focal lens is particularly suitable for applications requiring a controlled field of view rather than ultra-wide scene coverage. Its 34.5° horizontal FOV helps capture defined areas such as production stations, equipment zones, entrances, corridors, and inspection areas while avoiding excessive peripheral distortion.

The fast F1.2 aperture makes the lens especially useful in indoor environments where illumination can vary throughout the day. Combined with its IR-corrected design, the lens can also support camera systems that use infrared illumination for nighttime or low-light monitoring.

For industrial applications, the manual iris and manual focus provide useful adjustment flexibility during camera installation and optical alignment. The 0.2m M.O.D. also allows the lens to work with relatively close subjects, making it suitable for compact inspection stations and equipment monitoring.

Designed for controlled-view CCTV monitoring, low-light industrial imaging, and IR-assisted machine vision applications.

Compatible Device List

• 1/3″ CS-Mount Cameras: Designed for compatible CS-mount camera modules and industrial imaging cameras using 1/3″ sensors.
• CCTV Security Cameras: Suitable for indoor surveillance cameras monitoring entrances, corridors, equipment rooms, retail areas, and controlled-access zones.
• Industrial Inspection Cameras: Can be integrated into inspection systems where a fixed focal length and manually adjustable optics are preferred.
• Machine Vision Systems: Suitable for machine vision setups requiring a moderate FOV, fast aperture, and stable focus behavior under visible or IR illumination.
• Day/Night Imaging Devices: The IR-corrected optical design supports systems that combine visible-light imaging with near-infrared illumination.
• Embedded Vision Equipment: The compact CS-mount format allows integration into customized camera housings and industrial imaging platforms.
