Fisheye Lens – CCL2302220MPF

CCL2302220MPF Fisheye lens HD 1/2.3″ Φ7.0 180° M12 mount lens F2.0 for 360 AR panoramic sports camera

2.2mm 180° 12MP M12 Fisheye Lens

This 2.2mm 180° M12 fisheye lens is designed for high-resolution ultra-wide-angle imaging where maximum scene coverage is required. Supporting up to 12MP resolution on a 1/2.3″ image format, this lens combines a 180° field of view, F2.0 fixed aperture, and compact M12 mounting for panoramic monitoring, embedded vision, security imaging, and wide-area visual sensing applications.

M12 Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

• 12MP high resolution supports detailed imaging with high-resolution camera sensors.
• 180° ultra-wide FOV provides extensive scene coverage from a single camera position.
• 2.2mm focal length delivers an extremely wide perspective for panoramic and peripheral imaging.
• F2.0 aperture provides a practical balance between light transmission and compact optical design.
• -97% fisheye distortion is optimized for extreme wide-angle coverage rather than rectilinear imaging.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

Panoramic Security Monitoring

The 180° field of view enables a single camera to monitor a very broad area, making this lens suitable for applications where minimizing blind spots is a priority. It can be integrated into panoramic security cameras, indoor monitoring systems, compact surveillance modules, and wide-area observation equipment.

High-Resolution Embedded Vision

The combination of 12MP resolution and a 1/2.3″ image format makes this lens suitable for embedded camera systems that require both high detail and extensive scene coverage. Its 2.2mm focal length is particularly useful when the camera must capture a large area from a relatively short installation distance.

Robotic and Peripheral Vision

The ultra-wide optical design can provide robots and compact autonomous devices with a broad view of their surrounding environment. Instead of relying on a narrow forward-facing lens, the fisheye configuration can support peripheral awareness, environment monitoring, and wide-angle obstacle observation.

Compact Security & Smart Vision Devices

The lens can be considered for compact security cameras, panoramic camera modules, smart monitoring equipment, embedded vision devices, and other camera systems where a wide viewing angle is more important than conventional image geometry.

Designed for high-resolution panoramic monitoring, embedded wide-angle vision, robotic peripheral awareness, and wide-area security imaging applications.

Optical Design Considerations

This lens uses an extreme fisheye optical configuration. Its -97% distortion is intentional and enables the optical system to achieve a 180° field of view. Therefore, it should not be categorized as a low-distortion lens.

For applications requiring accurate geometric representation, TOWIN’s Low Distortion Lens range may be more appropriate. For more information about how extreme wide-angle designs affect image geometry, refer to the Distortion Guide.

The lens supports a Φ7.0 image circle and 1/2.3″ image format. When selecting a camera module, the sensor and active imaging area should be checked carefully to ensure the desired FOV is achieved. TOWIN’s Sensor Guide provides additional guidance for matching sensors and lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?
A: This is a 2.2mm ultra-wide fisheye lens designed to provide up to 180° field of view for panoramic and wide-area imaging applications.

Q: What resolution does this lens support?
A: The lens is specified for up to 12MP resolution, making it suitable for high-resolution camera modules using compatible 1/2.3″ sensors.

Q: Why does the lens have -97% distortion?
A: The high negative distortion is characteristic of a fisheye optical design. It allows the lens to achieve an exceptionally wide 180° field of view.

Q: Is this lens suitable for low-distortion imaging?
A: No. This lens is optimized for maximum wide-angle coverage rather than geometric correction. Applications requiring accurate object proportions should consider a low-distortion optical design.

Q: What is the advantage of the 2.2mm focal length?
A: The short 2.2mm focal length provides an extremely wide viewing angle, making it suitable for panoramic monitoring, peripheral vision, and compact wide-area imaging.

Q: What sensor format is recommended for this lens?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/2.3″ image format with a Φ7.0 image circle. The final sensor selection should be checked against the required field of view and active sensor area.

Q: What applications can use a 180° fisheye lens?
A: Typical applications include panoramic security cameras, embedded vision systems, robotic peripheral vision, indoor monitoring, and wide-area visual sensing.

Q: How can I check the field of view for a different lens and sensor?
A: TOWIN’s FOV Calculator can be used to evaluate field-of-view requirements when selecting a lens and camera sensor combination.
