CCTV Lens – CCL130814MP

CCL130814MP is 8mm Fixed Iris Megapixel CCTV lens, 1/3″ Low F-number M12/S-Mount Lens (F1.4), Day & Night capable Low Light Sensitive Lens.

For additional compact optical configurations, engineers can review Towin’s M12 Lenses category to compare different focal lengths, sensor formats, and mechanical designs.

1/3″ 8mm M12 F1.4 IR Corrected CCTV Lens

This 1/3″ 8mm M12 F1.4 IR corrected CCTV lens combines a compact Φ16 × 21.7mm design, ultra-light 8g weight, and a 34° horizontal field of view. With an M12x0.5 mount and IR-corrected optics, it is designed for compact CCTV and embedded camera modules where optical performance must be balanced with strict space and weight limitations.

M12 F1.4 IR Corrected CCTV Lens Core Highlights

• 8mm fixed focal length provides a consistent 34° horizontal field of view.
• F1.4 aperture provides a fast optical configuration for compact imaging systems.
• Ultra-compact Φ16 × 21.7mm design supports tight camera module integration.
• Only 8g in weight minimizes the optical assembly’s impact on overall device weight.
• IR-corrected optics support more consistent imaging across visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

M12 F1.4 IR Corrected CCTV Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 8mm M12 F1.4 lens is designed for compact imaging equipment where available installation space is limited but the camera still requires a defined, moderately narrow field of view. Its 34° horizontal FOV provides focused coverage of a target area rather than the broad perspective of an ultra-wide-angle lens.

The strongest distinguishing feature of this version is its Φ16 × 21.7mm optical package and 8g weight. Compared with larger M12 lens assemblies, this compact configuration can simplify integration into small camera housings, embedded security devices, portable imaging equipment, and space-constrained monitoring modules.

The F1.4 aperture provides a fast optical configuration for applications where available illumination may vary. Combined with the IR-corrected design, the lens is suitable for imaging systems that may use near-infrared illumination or need more consistent focus behavior between visible and NIR wavelengths.

The 0.3m minimum object distance also makes the lens practical for close-range monitoring. It can be positioned relatively close to an entrance, access point, equipment panel, or other defined target without requiring a large physical lens assembly.

When selecting an M12 lens for a compact camera, engineers should consider sensor format, focal length, required field of view, mounting space, and working distance together. Towin’s Lens Selection Guide provides a useful starting point for evaluating these parameters.

Compatible Device List

• 1/3″ compact CCTV cameras: Designed for camera modules using compatible 1/3″ image sensors.
• Miniature security camera modules: The Φ16 × 21.7mm housing supports integration where conventional larger optics are difficult to accommodate.
• Embedded access-control cameras: The 34° FOV can provide focused coverage of doors, readers, and controlled entry areas.
• Compact indoor surveillance cameras: Suitable for corridors, equipment zones, storage areas, and other defined monitoring locations.
• Portable or lightweight imaging equipment: The 8g weight helps minimize the optical assembly’s contribution to total device mass.
• IR-assisted security cameras: IR correction supports camera systems that operate with near-infrared illumination.

For broader security-camera integration, this lens can be considered alongside Towin’s Smart Security solutions.

Compact Optical Design Advantage

For embedded camera manufacturers, reducing lens dimensions can be just as important as selecting the correct focal length. This model’s Φ16mm diameter and 21.7mm optical length provide a particularly compact package for applications where the camera housing has limited internal space.

The 8g weight is also useful for portable or lightweight equipment. Reducing optical mass can make mechanical integration easier and can help designers maintain a compact overall product architecture.

The 8.03mm B.F.L. should be considered together with the camera module’s mechanical stack-up when determining sensor-to-lens positioning. Before production integration, the complete camera assembly should be evaluated for mechanical clearance, sensor position, focus tolerance, and image quality.

FOV & Lens Selection

With a 34° horizontal field of view, this lens provides more concentrated coverage than a typical wide-angle M12 lens. It is therefore better suited to applications where the camera needs to observe a defined target region rather than capture the maximum possible scene area.

Engineers can use the Focal Length Calculator to estimate the focal length required for a particular sensor and viewing geometry. The Sensor Guide can also help when checking sensor-format compatibility.

Because no numerical distortion specification is provided for this model, it should not be marketed as a Low Distortion Lens unless additional optical test data confirms that characteristic.

Designed for miniature CCTV modules, embedded security cameras, access monitoring equipment, and lightweight imaging devices requiring an 8mm M12 IR corrected fixed focal lens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes this 8mm M12 lens different from larger M12 lenses?
A: Its compact Φ16 × 21.7mm dimensions and 8g weight make it particularly suitable for space- and weight-constrained camera designs.

Q: What is the horizontal field of view?
A: The specified horizontal field of view is 34°, providing relatively focused coverage of a defined monitoring area.

Q: Is this an M12 zoom lens?
A: No. The focal length is fixed at 8mm, so it belongs to the M12 Fixed Focal Lens category rather than the Zoom Lens category.

Q: What does IR corrected mean?
A: IR correction reduces focus shifts between visible and near-infrared wavelengths. It keeps focus more consistent whenever a camera uses infrared illumination.

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

Q: Can this lens be used for close-range monitoring?
A: Yes. The specified minimum object distance is 0.3m, making it suitable for relatively close-range applications such as access monitoring and equipment observation.

Q: What are the dimensions and weight of the lens?
A: The lens measures approximately Φ16 × 21.7mm and weighs only 8g, making it well suited to miniature and lightweight camera assemblies.

Q: Is this lens a low-distortion lens?
A: No low-distortion specification is provided for this model. It should therefore not be classified as a Low Distortion Lens without additional measured distortion data.
