2.0mm M12 Fisheye Automotive Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.0mm M12 fisheye automotive lens is developed for vehicle-mounted imaging systems where maximum viewing coverage from a compact camera position is a key requirement. Its 178° diagonal field of view on a 1/3″ sensor enables the camera to capture an exceptionally broad surrounding scene, making the lens suitable for close-range vehicle monitoring and panoramic automotive imaging.

Unlike conventional wide-angle lenses designed to maintain relatively low geometric distortion, this lens intentionally uses a strong fisheye optical configuration. The specified distortion of less than -95% on a 1/3″ sensor allows the lens to achieve an extremely wide viewing angle, making it particularly useful when scene coverage is more important than maintaining straight-line geometry.

The 0.1m minimum object distance also supports close-range imaging, which is valuable for automotive cameras positioned close to vehicle body panels or other nearby objects. The compact 4.5mm B.F.L. and M12X0.5 mount further simplify integration into compact camera housings.

With IP67 waterproof protection, the lens is suitable for externally mounted automotive cameras exposed to rain, dust, water splash, and changing outdoor conditions. The integrated IRCF configuration can also support camera modules designed around visible-light imaging.

For vehicle perception systems requiring broad close-range visual coverage, this lens can be integrated into ADAS solutions alongside other vehicle camera technologies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 2.0mm M12 lens?
A: It is a 2.0mm M12 fisheye automotive lens designed for extremely wide-angle vehicle imaging and compact camera integration.

Q: What is the maximum field of view of this lens?
A: On a 1/3″ sensor, the lens provides 178° diagonal, 140° horizontal, and 102° vertical FOV. On a 1/4″ sensor, it provides 130° diagonal, 102° horizontal, and 76° vertical FOV.

Q: Why is the distortion specification so high?
A: This lens uses a deliberate fisheye optical design. The specified distortion of less than -95% on a 1/3″ sensor is associated with achieving an extremely wide 178° diagonal field of view.

Q: Is this lens a low-distortion lens?
A: No. It should not be classified as a low-distortion lens. Its strong negative distortion is an intentional characteristic of the fisheye design used to achieve ultra-wide scene coverage.

Q: What sensor sizes can this lens support?
A: The specifications provide optical performance for both 1/3″ and 1/4″ sensors, with different field-of-view and distortion values for each format.

Q: Is this lens suitable for automotive applications?
A: Yes. The combination of ultra-wide FOV, compact M12 mounting, close-range imaging capability, and IP67 protection makes it suitable for vehicle-mounted imaging systems.

Q: What does IRCF mean in the optical structure?
A: IRCF refers to an IR Cut Filter configuration. It is intended to manage infrared wavelengths in visible-light camera systems. It does not by itself mean that the lens is an IR-corrected lens.

Q: Is the lens waterproof?
A: Yes. The lens has an IP67 waterproof rating, making it suitable for outdoor camera installations exposed to water and dust.
