Fisheye Lens – S3620018F

S3620018F is 1.5mm 3-Megapixel Fisheye CCTV lens with Built-In IR Filter, F1.8 aperture, 200° F.O.V., M12 mount, for security surveillance.

M12 1.5mm 3MP 200° Fisheye Lens

This 1.5mm M12 fisheye lens provides an ultra-wide 200° field of view with 3MP resolution, allowing a single compact camera to capture an exceptionally broad surrounding scene. With an F1.8 fixed aperture, 0.2m minimum object distance, and M12 × 0.5 mount, it is designed for panoramic, embedded vision, robotics, and wide-area imaging systems.

The 200° field of view makes this lens particularly suitable for applications where maximum scene coverage is more important than conventional rectilinear image geometry. Engineers can use the FOV Calculator to evaluate camera coverage and installation requirements for different imaging configurations.

M12 1.5mm 200° Fisheye Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 200° M12 fisheye lens is designed for imaging systems that need to observe an exceptionally large area from a compact camera position. Its 1.5mm focal length and 200° field of view make it suitable for panoramic monitoring, environmental perception, compact surround-view systems, and wide-area embedded imaging.

The F1.8 aperture provides a relatively large optical opening for a lens of this type, helping maintain useful image brightness when the camera operates in indoor environments, enclosed equipment, or other scenes where available illumination may vary. The 0.2m M.O.D. also allows the camera to observe relatively close objects, making the lens suitable for compact spatial-monitoring devices.

In robotics, a very wide field of view can provide broad environmental awareness around a mobile platform. Instead of relying on a conventional narrow-angle lens that observes only a limited forward region, a fisheye configuration can capture peripheral information that can subsequently be processed through software for object detection, scene understanding, or panoramic reconstruction.

For security and monitoring equipment, this lens can also reduce blind areas around a camera installation. It is particularly relevant to compact panoramic camera modules, indoor monitoring devices, retail observation systems, and embedded AI vision equipment where maximizing scene coverage from one optical channel is a priority.

Because the lens is designed around a 200° fisheye field of view, it should be selected for broad scene acquisition rather than precision measurement or geometrically accurate imaging. Engineers who need to understand the relationship between focal length, sensor format, and image coverage can also refer to the Lens Basics section.
