IR Corrected Lens Core Highlights

• 5MP High-Resolution Performance: Supports 5MP imaging for detailed image capture in compact surveillance and embedded camera systems.
• 8mm Fixed Focal Length: Provides a balanced 63° diagonal and 51° horizontal FOV for applications requiring more focused scene coverage.
• IR Corrected Optical Design: Helps maintain consistent focus between visible and near-infrared wavelengths for day-and-night imaging systems.
• F1.8 Aperture: Provides good light-gathering capability for stable imaging in indoor and changing-light environments.
• Compact M12 Construction: The M12 × 0.5 mount and Φ14 × 19.1mm dimensions support integration into compact camera housings and space-constrained devices.

IR Corrected Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 8mm M12 lens is designed for imaging systems that need a more focused field of view than short-focal-length M12 lenses, while still maintaining practical scene coverage. Its 51° horizontal FOV provides a useful balance between viewing area and target detail for fixed-position cameras.

The 5MP resolution supports detailed image capture, while the F1.8 aperture helps maintain sufficient image brightness in indoor and moderately low-light environments. The IR corrected design further improves suitability for cameras that operate under both visible and near-infrared illumination.

Designed for compact day-and-night surveillance application, this lens is particularly suitable for fixed monitoring positions where the camera needs to focus on a defined area rather than capture an extremely broad scene.

Typical applications include:

• Indoor CCTV surveillance
• Entrance and access monitoring
• Retail security cameras
• Office and facility monitoring
• Equipment monitoring
• Embedded security cameras
• Compact industrial monitoring
• Day-and-night surveillance
• Smart monitoring equipment
• Fixed-position imaging systems

Compatible Devices

This lens can be integrated with compatible imaging equipment including:

• 1/2″ 5MP M12 cameras
• Compact CCTV cameras
• Day-and-night security cameras
• Infrared surveillance cameras
• Access control cameras
• Embedded monitoring cameras
• Compact industrial cameras
• Smart security devices
• Embedded vision modules
• Space-constrained camera systems

The compact Φ14 × 19.1mm optical assembly is especially useful for camera designs where available installation space is limited.

IR Corrected Optical Performance

Unlike a conventional visible-light-only lens, this product uses an IR corrected optical design to help reduce focus variation between visible and near-infrared wavelengths. This makes it suitable for day-and-night cameras that switch between normal illumination and infrared-assisted imaging.

The 6G optical construction combines six optical elements with the compact M12 mechanical format, supporting the need for stable imaging performance while maintaining a small lens footprint.

Lens Selection & Field of View

Selecting an 8mm lens should always take the sensor format and required monitoring area into account. On a 1/2″ sensor, this lens provides a 63° diagonal, 51° horizontal, and 39° vertical FOV, making it more suitable for defined monitoring areas than extremely wide surveillance scenes.

If you need to compare different focal lengths before selecting a lens, use the FOV Calculator to estimate the required viewing coverage.

For focal-length-based lens selection, the Focal Length Calculator can also help determine a suitable optical configuration based on sensor and scene requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 8mm M12 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal length 8mm M12 lens designed for 1/2″ camera sensors, with 5MP resolution and a 51° horizontal field of view.

Q: What cameras are compatible with this 8mm M12 lens?
A: The lens is designed for compatible 1/2″ camera modules using an M12 × 0.5 interface. It can be integrated into CCTV, security, embedded vision, and compact imaging systems.

Q: What is the field of view of the 8mm lens?
A: The lens provides a 63° diagonal FOV, 51° horizontal FOV, and 39° vertical FOV when used with the specified 1/2″ image format.

Q: What is the advantage of an IR corrected M12 lens?
A: An IR corrected lens is designed to reduce focus shifts between visible and near-infrared wavelengths, helping maintain image sharpness when a camera changes between daytime and infrared-assisted imaging.

Q: Is this an ultra-wide-angle or fisheye lens?
A: No. With a 51° horizontal FOV and 8mm focal length on a 1/2″ sensor, it provides moderate scene coverage rather than the extremely wide coverage associated with fisheye or ultra-wide-angle lenses.

Q: Why is the compact Φ14 × 19.1mm size important?
A: The compact optical structure makes the lens easier to integrate into small camera housings, embedded devices, and other systems where installation space is restricted.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this type of M12 lens?
A: Yes. TOWIN can support customized optical and mechanical configurations according to sensor format, focal length, FOV, dimensions, mounting requirements, and application conditions. Please contact TOWIN for project-specific requirements.
