CCTV Lens – CCL130614MP

CCL130614MP is 6mm Megapixel CCTV lens, 1/3″ F1.4 M12/S-mount lens with Low F-number (Fast Lenses), day & night capable Low Light Sensitive Lens.

For engineers comparing different compact focal lengths and optical configurations, Towin’s M12 Lenses category provides additional M12 lens options for embedded camera designs.

1/3″ 6mm M12 IR Corrected CCTV Lens

This 1/3″ 6mm M12 IR corrected CCTV lens combines a 46° horizontal field of view with an F1.4 aperture in an ultra-compact 8g design. With a M12x0.5 mount and Day & Night capability, it is well suited to compact CCTV and embedded surveillance cameras that require balanced scene coverage, low-light performance, and reliable day-to-night imaging.

M12 IR Corrected CCTV Lens Core Highlights

• 6mm fixed focal length provides a balanced 46° horizontal field of view.
• F1.4 aperture supports strong light collection for changing illumination conditions.
• IR corrected / Day & Night design supports visible and near-infrared surveillance imaging.
• Ultra-lightweight 8g construction minimizes the optical module’s overall weight.
• M12x0.5 mounting interface enables integration into compact camera assemblies.

M12 IR Corrected CCTV Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 6mm M12 fixed focal lens is designed for surveillance systems that require a middle ground between broad-area coverage and more focused target observation. Its 46° horizontal field of view provides a controlled viewing angle that is narrower than a 4mm wide-angle lens but still broad enough for many indoor and localized outdoor monitoring scenes.

This makes the lens particularly suitable for corridor monitoring, doorway surveillance, retail display monitoring, small facility security, and equipment-area observation, where excessive wide-angle coverage may reduce the relative size of important subjects in the image.

The F1.4 aperture is another important feature for this compact lens. It provides a relatively large optical opening, supporting light collection when illumination changes from bright daytime conditions to darker indoor or nighttime environments.

The lens is also configured for Day & Night / IR corrected imaging, making it suitable for surveillance cameras that operate with visible and near-infrared illumination. This is particularly relevant for security systems that use infrared illumination after ambient light decreases.

The exceptionally low 8g weight and Φ16 × 23.2mm dimensions make this lens especially appropriate for compact embedded camera modules where both optical capability and mechanical footprint must be tightly controlled.

For engineers determining whether 6mm is the appropriate focal length for a particular sensor and working distance, the Lens Selection Guide can be used to evaluate the main optical parameters together.

Compatible Device List

• 1/3″ CCTV camera modules: Designed for compatible 1/3″ image sensors in compact surveillance cameras.
• Compact Day & Night cameras: Suitable for security cameras requiring visible and near-infrared imaging capability.
• Corridor and doorway cameras: The 46° horizontal FOV provides controlled coverage without the extreme perspective of fisheye optics.
• Retail and commercial security cameras: Suitable for monitoring defined areas such as shelves, entrances, checkout zones, and display areas.
• Equipment monitoring cameras: The 6mm focal length can provide focused coverage of machinery, cabinets, control panels, and designated equipment zones.
• Lightweight embedded camera modules: The 8g optical design is suitable where overall module weight is a major mechanical consideration.

Optical Selection Considerations

The 46° horizontal FOV gives this lens a balanced optical position between short-focal-length wide-angle lenses and longer focal-length narrow-angle lenses. It is therefore suitable when the camera needs to cover a defined area while retaining a relatively controlled perspective.

The fixed 6mm focal length means the field of view is predetermined after installation. Engineers should therefore consider the sensor format, camera-to-target distance, and required horizontal coverage before selecting the lens.

The F1.4 aperture supports applications where available illumination may vary significantly. However, actual low-light image quality depends on the complete imaging system, including sensor sensitivity, exposure settings, infrared illumination, and image processing.

For calculating expected scene coverage, the FOV Calculator can help engineers estimate the field of view for a given installation configuration. Towin’s Focal Length Calculator can also be used when determining an appropriate focal length from the required working distance and image coverage.

Because this product is used for Day & Night imaging, the Optical Design section can also provide useful background when evaluating optical behavior across different wavelengths.

Designed for compact Day & Night CCTV, corridor monitoring, doorway surveillance, retail security, and lightweight embedded camera applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 6mm M12 lens?
A: It is a 6mm M12 fixed focal wide angle lens with an F1.4 aperture, 46° horizontal field of view, and Day & Night / IR corrected capability.

Q: What is the horizontal field of view of this lens?
A: The lens provides a 46° horizontal field of view, offering a balanced viewing angle for localized surveillance and embedded camera applications.

Q: Is the 6mm M12 lens a fixed focal lens?
A: Yes. The focal length is fixed at 6mm, so the lens belongs to the Fixed Focal Lens category rather than the Zoom Lens category.

Q: What is the advantage of the F1.4 aperture?
A: The F1.4 aperture provides relatively strong light-gathering capability, which is useful for surveillance cameras operating under changing or limited illumination.

Q: What sensor size is this lens designed for?
A: The specified image format is 1/3″, making the lens suitable for compatible 1/3″ image sensors.

Q: What cameras are compatible with this M12 lens?
A: It is suitable for compatible 1/3″ CCTV camera modules, compact Day & Night cameras, embedded security cameras, and other imaging devices using an M12x0.5 mounting interface.

Q: What are the dimensions and weight of this lens?
A: The lens measures approximately Φ16 × 23.2mm and weighs only 8g, making it particularly suitable for compact and lightweight camera assemblies.

Q: Is this lens suitable for wide-angle surveillance?
A: Yes. Its 46° horizontal FOV provides broad local-area coverage while maintaining a more controlled perspective than extreme wide-angle or fisheye lenses.
