M12 170° Fisheye Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 1.0mm M12 fisheye lens is designed for imaging systems where maximum scene coverage is more important than long-distance magnification. Its 170° diagonal field of view allows a compact camera to observe a very large area without requiring a mechanically large lens assembly.

In compact embedded vision systems, the lens can be used where a small camera must monitor a wide surrounding area from a short installation distance. The 0.2m minimum object distance also makes it suitable for close-range monitoring and localized scene capture.

For compact robotic and smart-device cameras, the combination of a 1.0mm focal length and M12x0.5 mount provides a practical optical solution when mechanical space is restricted. The wide viewing angle can help capture surrounding objects, movement, and spatial information without relying on multiple narrow-angle cameras.

The lens is also suitable for panoramic and wide-area monitoring equipment that requires a compact optical package. Its fixed F2.2 aperture simplifies optical integration where a variable iris is not required.

Designed for compact ultra-wide-angle imaging, embedded vision, and close-range panoramic monitoring applications.

Optical Design Considerations

The 1.0mm focal length produces a very wide viewing angle, which is the defining characteristic of this lens. With 170° diagonal, 140° horizontal, and 108° vertical FOV, system designers can achieve broad scene coverage from a relatively small camera installation area.

The lens uses a 4G2P optical construction, while the fixed F2.2 aperture provides a consistent optical configuration for embedded imaging systems. The 1/6″ image format should be matched with the intended image sensor to ensure proper image coverage and avoid optical compatibility issues.

When selecting a lens for a new camera system, field of view, sensor format, working distance, and mechanical dimensions should be evaluated together. Towin’s FOV Calculator can help estimate field-of-view requirements, while the Focal Length Calculator can assist with focal-length selection.
