M12 IR corrected CCTV Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 4mm M12 IR corrected lens is designed for camera systems that need wide-area coverage, strong low-light performance, and stable imaging when switching between visible and near-infrared illumination. Its 110° diagonal FOV provides broad scene coverage without relying on the extreme geometric distortion associated with fisheye optics.

The combination of F1.2 aperture and IR correction makes this lens particularly suitable for 24-hour security cameras. During daytime operation, the camera can use visible light for normal color imaging, while under low-light or nighttime conditions, near-infrared illumination can be used without causing the optical focus shift that can occur with lenses not designed for IR wavelengths.

The lens is specified for the Sony IMX462 and can therefore be integrated into compact low-light camera modules built around this sensor. The M12x0.5 mount is well suited to embedded camera designs where limited mechanical space requires a compact optical interface.

With a 0.15m minimum object distance, the lens can also support close-range observation. This makes it practical for entrances, indoor monitoring zones, equipment areas, access points, and other locations where both nearby subjects and a relatively broad scene need to remain visible.

For applications requiring accurate geometric imaging rather than wide-area coverage, the Lens Selection Guide can help with selecting the appropriate optical configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 4mm M12 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal length, wide-angle M12 lens with an IR corrected optical design. It is specified for 1/2.8″ image sensors and provides a 110° diagonal FOV with the IMX462.

Q: Is this lens compatible with the Sony IMX462?
A: Yes. The specified F.O.V. is measured at the IMX462 sensor, and the lens is designed for the 1/2.8″ image format used by this sensor.

Q: What is the field of view of this 4mm M12 lens?
A: With the IMX462, the lens provides 110° diagonal, 93° horizontal, and 50° vertical field of view.

Q: What does IR corrected mean?
A: IR correction refers to an optical design intended to maintain more consistent focus performance across visible and near-infrared wavelengths. This is particularly useful for cameras that switch between daytime imaging and IR-assisted night vision.

Q: Why is the F1.2 aperture useful for security cameras?
A: The F1.2 aperture allows a relatively large amount of light to reach the sensor, helping the camera maintain usable image brightness in low-light environments.

Q: Is this lens suitable for night vision?
A: Yes. The combination of IR correction, F1.2 aperture, and compatibility with the low-light-oriented IMX462 makes it suitable for camera systems using near-infrared illumination for nighttime imaging.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.15m, allowing the lens to focus on relatively close subjects when correctly integrated and adjusted within the camera system.

Q: Can Towin customize this IR corrected M12 lens?
A: Towin can evaluate customized optical and mechanical requirements based on the target sensor, FOV, housing dimensions, wavelength range, and application. Project-specific requirements can be submitted through Contact Towin.
