CCTV Lens – CCL128060MP

CCL128060MP is 6mm 3-Megapixel M12 CCTV lens with 1/2.8″ sensor size 66° diagonal FOV F1.8 Aperture for security surveillance.

Product Overview

This 6mm M12 CCTV lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a balanced field of view, high light transmission, and reliable 3MP image performance. Featuring a 1/2.8″ image format, 66° diagonal F.O.V., 54° horizontal F.O.V., and 31° vertical F.O.V., the lens provides useful scene coverage without the extreme perspective of ultra-wide-angle optics. Its fast F1.8 aperture supports strong light transmission for indoor, low-light, and general surveillance environments, while the M12x0.5 mount enables integration into compact board cameras and embedded imaging modules. With distortion below -20%, the lens provides a wide-angle perspective suitable for monitoring and situational-awareness applications. Designed for compact CCTV and intelligent monitoring applications, this lens is well suited for security cameras, embedded vision systems, smart devices, and other camera platforms requiring a compact M12 optical solution.

CCTV Lens Advantages

3MP High-Resolution Imaging
The 3MP optical configuration provides clear image detail for general surveillance, monitoring, and embedded camera applications.

66° Wide-Angle FOV
The 66° diagonal field of view provides useful scene coverage while maintaining a more controlled perspective than ultra-wide-angle lenses.

Fast F1.8 Aperture
The F1.8 aperture offers strong light-gathering capability, making the lens suitable for indoor environments, low-light monitoring, and applications where maintaining image brightness is important.

Compact M12x0.5 Mount
The M12x0.5 mounting interface is well suited to board cameras and compact embedded imaging modules.

Balanced 6mm Focal Length
The 6mm focal length offers a practical balance between viewing coverage and subject representation, making it versatile for security and intelligent monitoring systems.

Fixed Iris Configuration
The fixed iris provides a straightforward optical configuration for camera systems operating under relatively controlled or automatically managed exposure conditions.

6G Optical Construction
The 6G optical construction provides a dedicated multi-element optical configuration for the specified 3MP imaging performance.

CCTV Lens Applications

CCTV & Security Cameras
The combination of 3MP resolution, F1.8 aperture, and 66° diagonal FOV makes this lens suitable for CCTV cameras requiring clear images and moderate wide-angle coverage.

Lens Selection & Technical Considerations

Focal Length and Field of View
The 6mm focal length provides a 66° diagonal, 54° horizontal, and 31° vertical FOV. This makes it a moderate wide-angle configuration suitable for surveillance and embedded vision systems that need broader coverage without an ultra-wide perspective.

Use TOWIN’s FOV Calculator to evaluate how focal length and sensor dimensions affect the final viewing area.

Distortion Consideration
The specified distortion is below -20%, indicating a noticeable wide-angle optical characteristic. This configuration is suitable for monitoring and situational awareness but is not intended as a precision measurement lens. Applications requiring highly accurate dimensional representation should consider a dedicated low-distortion optical design.

Sensor Compatibility
The lens is designed for a 1/2.8″ image format and supports 3MP resolution. Matching the lens image format with the camera sensor helps ensure proper image coverage and minimize the risk of vignetting.

See the Sensor Guide for sensor and lens matching information.

Low-Light Performance
The F1.8 aperture allows a relatively large amount of light to reach the sensor, which can help maintain image brightness in indoor and lower-light environments. Actual performance depends on sensor sensitivity, exposure settings, illumination, and image processing.

Mechanical Integration
The 9.55mm B.F.L. and 24.46mm T.T.L. should be considered when designing the camera housing and sensor-to-lens positioning. The M12x0.5 mount provides a compact mechanical interface for compatible camera modules.
