2.1mm M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.1mm M12 automotive fisheye lens is specifically designed for vehicle-mounted imaging applications where a conventional camera lens cannot provide sufficient surrounding coverage. Its 195° diagonal, 155° horizontal, and 114° vertical field of view allow a single compact camera module to capture a very broad area around the vehicle.

The ultra-wide fisheye configuration is particularly suitable for automotive surround-view and parking assistance systems, where reducing blind zones around the front, rear, or side of a vehicle is a key imaging requirement. The 2.1mm focal length allows the camera to capture nearby areas that would normally fall outside the viewing range of a conventional fixed focal lens.

The 0.15m minimum object distance is also useful for close-range vehicle imaging. When installed around bumpers, mirrors, vehicle corners, or other exterior mounting positions, the lens can capture nearby obstacles and surrounding areas without requiring a long working distance.

The IP68 waterproof rating makes this lens particularly suitable for exposed vehicle-mounted camera assemblies. It can be considered for applications where the optical module may encounter rain, road spray, dust, or other environmental contaminants. Final environmental performance should always be evaluated together with the complete camera housing and sealing design.

The lens uses an M12 × 0.5 mount, allowing integration into compact automotive camera modules. Its fixed iris, manual focus, and fixed zoom configuration are suitable for camera systems with a predetermined optical installation position.

Optical Design Considerations

This lens is a fisheye lens, rather than a conventional low-distortion wide-angle lens. Its specified distortion of less than -97% is a characteristic of the extreme fisheye optical design and enables the lens to achieve a 195° diagonal field of view.

For automotive systems that require a conventional perspective image, the fisheye image can be processed through electronic image correction or dewarping algorithms. The appropriate correction method depends on the camera ISP, image-processing architecture, and final display requirements.

The Distortion Guide can help engineers understand how fisheye distortion affects image geometry and how it differs from conventional low-distortion lenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this an automotive fisheye lens?
A: Yes. This lens is specifically positioned for automotive applications and uses a fisheye optical design with an extremely wide field of view.

Q: What is the maximum field of view of this automotive fisheye lens?
A: The specified field of view is 195° diagonal, 155° horizontal, and 114° vertical on a 1/2.7″ image format.

Q: What is the purpose of the 195° FOV?
A: The extremely wide FOV allows the camera to capture a much larger surrounding area and helps reduce blind zones, making it suitable for surround-view and parking assistance applications.

Q: Is this lens suitable for vehicle surround-view systems?
A: Yes. The combination of a 2.1mm focal length and 195° diagonal FOV makes it suitable for selected front, rear, side, and corner automotive camera applications requiring broad coverage.

Q: Is this lens waterproof for automotive use?
A: The lens features IP68 waterproof rating, suited for exposed automotive camera assemblies. Note the full camera module must also satisfy required environmental protection standards.

Q: Why does this lens have very high distortion?
A: The distortion is a characteristic of the fisheye optical design. Strong geometric distortion allows the lens to achieve an extremely wide field of view that would not be practical with a conventional rectilinear lens.

Q: Can the fisheye image be corrected?
A: Yes. Automotive camera systems can use ISP or software-based dewarping to transform the fisheye image into a more conventional perspective view, depending on the system architecture and application requirements.

Q: What type of mount does this automotive lens use?
A: It uses an M12 × 0.5 mount, which supports integration into compact camera modules and vehicle-mounted imaging assemblies.
