Wide Angle Lens – CCL14022MPF

CCL14022MPF is 2.2mm High-Performance wide-angle lens with Built-In Filter, 1/4″ Low F-number S-Mount Lens (F2.0), 2MP resolution CCTV lens.

2.2mm M12 Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens

This 2.2mm M12 wide angle lens combines a 139° diagonal field of view with only -19% optical distortion, providing broad scene coverage while maintaining better geometric control than extreme fisheye designs. With a 2MP optical configuration, F2.0 fixed aperture, and compact M12×0.5 mount, it is well suited for embedded cameras, machine vision, robotics, and space-constrained industrial imaging systems.

The 5G optical construction, 4.33mm BFL, 12.85mm TTL, and integrated IR cut filter provide a compact optical platform for camera designs requiring a wide viewing angle without the extreme distortion associated with fisheye lenses.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

• 139° Ultra-Wide FOV — Captures a broad scene from a compact camera position.
• -19% Optical Distortion — Provides a more controlled image geometry than extreme fisheye optical designs.
• F2.0 Fixed Aperture — Offers a compact and consistent optical configuration for embedded camera systems.
• M12×0.5 Mount — Supports straightforward integration into compact industrial and embedded camera assemblies.
• Compact Optical Design — 12.85mm TTL and 4.33mm BFL help meet space-limited camera integration requirements.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

This 2.2mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for applications that require a very wide viewing angle but do not necessarily benefit from the extreme geometric distortion of a conventional fisheye lens. Its 139° diagonal FOV provides broad scene coverage, while the specified -19% optical distortion offers a more controlled image for systems where recognizable object geometry is important.

Compact Machine Vision Systems

The lens can be integrated into specialized machine vision systems that need to monitor a broad area from a relatively short camera-to-scene distance. It is particularly useful for applications where the objective is wide-area observation rather than precision dimensional measurement.

For industrial camera integration and application examples, see TOWIN’s Machine Vision solution.

Robotics & Mobile Vision

A 139° diagonal field of view allows a compact robotic camera to observe a substantial surrounding area from a single optical position. The M12×0.5 mounting interface also makes the lens suitable for embedded vision modules used in mobile robots and compact autonomous equipment.

Embedded Monitoring Cameras

The combination of ultra-wide coverage, compact dimensions, and an integrated IR cut filter makes this lens suitable for embedded monitoring equipment where the camera needs to cover a relatively large area without using a physically large lens assembly.

The 2.2mm focal length can be useful in compact indoor monitoring modules, smart devices, and specialized camera products where installation space is limited.

Industrial Equipment Monitoring

This lens can also be integrated into industrial equipment cameras that need to observe machine surroundings, access areas, or operating zones from a close mounting position. Its controlled -19% distortion can provide a more natural image geometry than highly distorted fisheye configurations.

Designed for wide-area industrial monitoring and compact machine vision applications.

Why Choose a M12 Wide Angle Lens?

Wide-angle coverage and low distortion are often competing optical requirements. An extreme fisheye lens can provide a very large field of view, but the resulting image may contain significant geometric deformation. This 2.2mm configuration takes a different approach by providing a 139° diagonal FOV with -19% optical distortion, making it a better fit for applications that need broad coverage while retaining more controlled image geometry.

When selecting a lens, the sensor format and required viewing area should also be evaluated together with focal length. TOWIN’s Sensor Guide and Lens Selection Guide provide additional technical guidance.

You can also use the FOV Calculator to estimate the field of view required for a particular camera installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the focal length of this M12 lens?
A: The focal length is 2.2mm, providing a very wide field of view for compact camera systems.

Q: What is the field of view?
A: The specified diagonal field of view is 139°.

Q: What is the optical distortion of this lens?
A: The specified optical distortion is -19%, providing more controlled geometry than highly distorted fisheye configurations.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: It is better classified as a low distortion wide angle lens rather than a conventional high-distortion fisheye lens. The 139° FOV is very wide, while the specified distortion is -19%.

Q: What sensor format is this lens designed for?
A: The specified image format is 1/4″.

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

Q: Does the lens have a fixed aperture?
A: Yes. It uses a fixed F2.0 aperture and fixed iris configuration.

Q: Does this lens include an IR cut filter?
A: Yes. The optical construction is specified as 5G + IR cut filter. The IR cut filter is intended to control unwanted infrared transmission and should not be interpreted as an IR-corrected optical design.
