Fisheye Lens – CCL14016MPF

CCL14016MPF is 1/4″ 1.6mm M7 Miniature Fisheye Lens with IR cut filter, F2.4 aperture M7X0.35 mount lens, 5-Megapixel CCTV HD lens.

1.6mm M7 5MP Fisheye Wide Angle Lens

This 1.6mm M7 fisheye lens is a compact 5MP wide-angle imaging solution designed for space-constrained camera systems that require an exceptionally broad field of view. With a 166° diagonal FOV on the OV5640 sensor, M7×0.35 mount, F2.4 fixed aperture, and 2G3P optical construction with an integrated IR cut filter, it provides a practical combination of compact size, ultra-wide coverage, and high-resolution imaging.

M7 Miniature Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

• Ultra-Wide 166° Diagonal FOV — The 1.6mm focal length provides exceptionally broad scene coverage for compact imaging systems.
• 5MP High-Resolution Imaging — Supports detailed image capture with the OV5640 sensor in a 1/4″ image format.
• Compact M7×0.35 Mount — The miniature M7 interface is suitable for embedded cameras and space-limited optical assemblies.
• Fisheye Optical Design — The -83% distortion enables an extremely wide viewing angle where maximum scene coverage is more important than geometric linearity.
• Integrated IR Cut Filter — Helps block unwanted infrared wavelengths for more consistent visible-light imaging.

M7 Miniature Fisheye Lens Applications

This compact M7 fisheye lens is designed for imaging systems where installation space is limited but a very wide field of view is required. Its 1.6mm focal length and 166° diagonal FOV make it particularly useful when the camera needs to capture a large area from a short working distance.

Embedded Wide-Angle Imaging

The small M7×0.35 mount and 1.62mm BFL make this lens suitable for compact embedded camera modules, smart devices, monitoring equipment, and other systems where optical space is restricted.

Compact Machine Vision Systems

For industrial inspection systems that need to observe a broad area rather than achieve low-distortion measurement, the fisheye configuration can provide extensive scene coverage from a compact camera position.

Designed for compact wide-angle imaging applications.

Robotics & Mobile Imaging

The 166° diagonal FOV can help robotic and mobile imaging systems monitor a broad surrounding area with a single compact camera module. This can be useful for environmental awareness, navigation-related imaging, and wide-area observation.

Smart Security & Embedded Cameras

The ultra-wide viewing angle can be useful for compact security cameras and embedded monitoring devices that need to cover a large scene without using a large optical assembly.

Lens Selection Considerations

The -83% distortion of this lens is a defining characteristic of its fisheye optical design. It should therefore be selected when maximum field coverage is more important than maintaining straight-line geometry.

If your application requires accurate dimensional measurement or geometric inspection, a lower-distortion lens may be more appropriate. TOWIN’s Distortion Guide explains how lens distortion affects machine vision imaging and how to evaluate different optical designs.

You can also use the FOV Calculator to evaluate field-of-view requirements before selecting a lens.
