Fisheye Lens – CCL1302322MPFR

CCL1302322MPFR is 172° F2.2 2.3mm Wide-angle 4 – Megapixel 1/3″ M12 – mount fisheye HD lens with Built-In Filter security surveillance lens.

2.3mm M12 4MP Fisheye Wide Angle Lens for Ultra-Wide Imaging

This 2.3mm M12 fisheye wide angle lens is designed for 1/3″ camera systems requiring an exceptionally broad field of view. It delivers a 172° diagonal FOV, 127° horizontal FOV, and 92° vertical FOV with 4MP resolution and an F2.2 aperture, making it suitable for panoramic monitoring, compact embedded cameras, robotics, smart security, and other applications where maximum scene coverage is a priority.

With an M12×0.5 mount, 5.18mm BFL, 23.6mm total optical length, and 0.1m minimum object distance, the lens combines an ultra-short focal length with a compact camera interface. Its 6G+IRCF construction provides a practical optical configuration for high-coverage camera systems using an integrated infrared-cut filter.

M12 Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

• 172° Ultra-Wide FOV: The 2.3mm focal length provides 172° diagonal coverage, allowing a single compact camera to capture an exceptionally large scene.
• 127° Horizontal Coverage: The wide horizontal FOV is suitable for panoramic and situational-awareness applications where broad lateral coverage is required.
• 4MP Resolution: Supports detailed imaging for wide-area monitoring and embedded vision systems using a 1/3″ image format.
• 0.1m Minimum Object Distance: The very short MOD allows the lens to capture nearby objects while maintaining an exceptionally broad viewing angle.
• Compact M12×0.5 Integration: The M12 interface simplifies integration into small camera modules and embedded imaging equipment.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This lens is designed for applications where maximum field of view is more important than geometric accuracy. With 172° diagonal coverage and 127° horizontal coverage, it can capture a very large area from a single camera position, reducing blind spots in wide-area imaging systems.

The 2.3mm focal length makes the lens particularly suitable for panoramic monitoring, situational awareness, compact security devices, robotics, and embedded cameras. The 0.1m minimum object distance further expands its usability for close-range wide-angle imaging where the camera must observe objects positioned near the lens.

The specified distortion of less than -41% in the horizontal direction should be understood as part of the ultra-wide optical design rather than a defect for applications that intentionally prioritize extreme FOV. For applications requiring accurate dimensional measurement or straight-line preservation, a lower-distortion lens should be selected instead.

Designed for ultra-wide-angle and fisheye imaging applications, this lens is a strong option when one camera needs to cover a very large viewing area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the field of view of this 2.3mm M12 lens?
A: The lens provides a 172° diagonal, 127° horizontal, and 92° vertical field of view on a 1/3″ image format, making it an ultra-wide-angle optical design.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: It is suitable for fisheye and ultra-wide-angle applications. The 172° diagonal FOV and high intentional distortion are characteristic of an extremely wide-angle optical configuration.

Q: Why is the distortion higher than a standard wide-angle lens?
A: The specified distortion of less than -41% in the horizontal direction is associated with the extremely wide 127° horizontal FOV. This optical trade-off allows the lens to capture a much larger scene.

Q: Is this lens suitable for low-distortion machine vision?
A: No. This lens is optimized for maximum scene coverage rather than geometric accuracy. Applications requiring dimensional measurement or precise shape analysis should use a dedicated low distortion lens.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified minimum object distance is 0.1m, allowing the lens to image objects positioned very close to the camera.

Q: Does the IRCF configuration mean the lens is IR corrected?
A: No. IRCF indicates an infrared-cut filter configuration. It does not by itself indicate IR-corrected optical performance across visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

Q: What cameras can use this lens?
A: The lens is designed for 1/3″ camera systems with an M12×0.5 interface. It is suitable for compact security cameras, embedded vision modules, robotics cameras, and selected industrial imaging systems.

Q: What applications benefit most from a 172° FOV?
A: Panoramic monitoring, robotics situational awareness, indoor surveillance, obstacle detection, and other applications that require maximum scene coverage from a single camera can benefit from this extremely wide field of view.
