Wide Angle Lens – CCL14009

CCL14009 is 1/4″ 0.9mm Ultra wide-angle lens with Built-In Filter, M12/S-Mount Lenses with Low F-number (Fast Lenses), VGA resolution, F2.0 aperture.

0.9mm M12 Ultra Wide Angle Lens

This compact 0.9mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for small-format imaging systems that require an exceptionally broad field of view within a compact optical package. With a 160° diagonal FOV, F2.0 aperture, and M12×0.5 mount, it is well suited for embedded cameras, compact monitoring modules, and space-constrained vision devices.

The fixed-focal optical design combines a 0.9mm focal length with 2G2P+IR lens construction, providing a practical solution for applications that need broad scene coverage without using a fisheye lens.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

• 160° diagonal FOV for extremely broad scene coverage in compact camera systems.
• 0.9mm ultra-short focal length for wide-angle embedded imaging.
• F2.0 aperture provides efficient light transmission for compact vision modules.
• M12×0.5 mount supports flexible integration into small camera housings.
• 2G2P+IR optical construction combines compact lens architecture with an IR-related optical element.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 0.9mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact imaging systems where maximizing scene coverage is more important than long-distance detail recognition. Its 160° diagonal FOV allows a small camera module to observe a broad area while maintaining a compact mechanical footprint.

A particularly suitable use case is embedded indoor monitoring, such as compact smart-home cameras, room-view modules, and small IoT imaging devices installed where installation space is limited. The 120° horizontal and 100° vertical FOV can help cover a large nearby area without requiring a mechanically large camera housing.

The lens is also suitable for compact robotics and mobile devices that need broad environmental awareness at close range. When integrated with a small CMOS camera module, its short 0.9mm focal length can help capture surrounding objects, obstacles, and nearby activity within a relatively wide viewing area.

For space-constrained monitoring equipment, the M12×0.5 mounting interface and 2.12mm BFL make this lens practical for compact optical assemblies where installation depth is an important consideration.

Designed for compact wide-angle embedded imaging and close-range scene coverage applications.

Q: What is the focal length of this M12 lens?
A: The focal length is 0.9mm, providing a very wide viewing angle for compact imaging applications.

Q: What field of view does the lens provide?
A: The lens provides a 160° diagonal FOV, 120° horizontal FOV, and 100° vertical FOV when used with the specified image format.

Q: What sensor format is this lens designed for?
A: The specified image format is 1/4″, with VGA resolution listed for the optical configuration.

Q: Does this lens have adjustable focus or zoom?
A: The lens uses a fixed zoom configuration and manual focus. It is intended for dedicated camera modules where the optical setup is established during installation.

Q: What type of mount does this lens use?
A: It uses an M12×0.5 mount, a common mechanical interface for compact embedded camera and vision modules.

Q: What is the BFL of this wide angle lens?
