Pinhole Lens – CCL1312PMP

CCL1312PMP Pinhole lens 12mm 1/3″ IR MP HD CCTV M12 mount lens for Covert hidden Surveillance-1

12mm 1/3″ M12 3MP Pinhole Lens

This 12mm M12 pinhole lens is designed for compact camera modules that require a narrower viewing angle, clear 3MP imaging, and precise observation of defined target areas. With a 1/3″ image format, 22° horizontal field of view, F1.6 aperture, and 0.2m minimum object distance, it is suitable for discreet monitoring, access control, embedded security, and close-range imaging applications.

Featuring a fixed 12mm focal length, M12X0.5 mount, fixed iris, and manual focus, this lens provides a straightforward optical configuration for compact camera integration. The relatively long focal length helps concentrate the camera’s viewing area on a specific scene or target, making it suitable when broad-area coverage is not the primary requirement.

M12 Pinhole Lens Core Highlights

• 12mm fixed focal length provides a focused viewing range for defined monitoring targets.
• 3MP resolution supports detailed imaging for compact security and embedded camera systems.
• F1.6 aperture provides a relatively bright optical configuration for indoor and controlled-light environments.
• 22° horizontal FOV helps concentrate imaging on specific areas rather than covering a broad scene.
• M12X0.5 mount supports integration into compact camera modules and space-constrained equipment.

M12 Pinhole Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

Targeted Monitoring and Embedded Security

The 12mm focal length and 22° horizontal FOV make this pinhole lens particularly suitable for applications where the camera needs to observe a defined area rather than capture a wide scene. It can help integrators achieve more concentrated image coverage in compact monitoring equipment.

Typical applications include:

• Access control and entrance monitoring
• ATM and self-service terminal cameras
• Kiosk and payment terminal monitoring
• Embedded security camera modules
• Indoor equipment monitoring
• Compact intercom and access systems
• Close-range object observation
• Custom discreet camera systems

For applications requiring a compact optical assembly with a more focused viewing area, this lens can be evaluated alongside the Megapixel Pinhole Lens collection.

Compact Camera Integration

The M12X0.5 mount makes this lens suitable for small embedded camera assemblies where installation space is limited. Its fixed focal length and fixed iris simplify the optical configuration, while manual focus allows the integrator to make focus adjustments during camera assembly.

The 25.5mm TTL provides an important mechanical reference when designing the lens and camera housing. Before integration, users should verify the available mechanical space, sensor format, flange/interface requirements, and required imaging distance.

Close-Range Imaging

With a 0.2m M.O.D., the lens can be considered for relatively close target observation. This makes it useful for monitoring objects, access points, equipment interfaces, or defined areas positioned near the camera.

For systems where focal length selection depends on sensor size, working distance, and required field of view, the Lens Selection Guide can help determine whether a 12mm configuration is appropriate. You can also use the Focal Length Calculator when planning the optical setup.

Designed for targeted monitoring, compact embedded security, access control, and close-range imaging applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 12mm M12 lens?
A: This is a 12mm fixed focal pinhole lens with an M12X0.5 mount, designed for compact camera modules and targeted monitoring applications.

Q: What sensor size is this 12mm pinhole lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/3″ image format. The camera sensor should be verified against the lens image format before integration.

Q: What is the field of view of this 12mm pinhole lens?
A: The specified horizontal field of view is 22°. The actual diagonal and vertical field of view depend on the sensor dimensions and imaging format.

Q: Is this lens a fixed focal lens?
A: Yes. The focal length is fixed at 12mm and the zoom configuration is fixed, so it does not provide variable focal-length adjustment.

Q: What is the aperture of this pinhole lens?
A: The lens uses a fixed F1.6 aperture, providing a relatively bright optical configuration for suitable indoor and controlled-light imaging environments.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of the lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.2m, meaning the lens is designed to support imaging at a minimum object distance of approximately 200mm under the specified optical configuration.

Q: Can this 12mm M12 pinhole lens be customized?
A: TOWIN can evaluate customization requirements such as focal length, optical performance, mechanical interface, sensor compatibility, and other project-specific requirements. For OEM or application-specific requirements, contact TOWIN.

Q: How can I determine whether 12mm is the right focal length for my camera?
A: Focal length selection depends on sensor size, working distance, and required field of view. Use the FOV Calculator or Focal Length Calculator to evaluate the required optical configuration.
