1.5mm 8MP M12 230° Fisheye Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 1.5mm M12 fisheye automotive lens is engineered for vehicle-mounted imaging systems where extremely wide scene coverage is more important than maintaining low geometric distortion. Its 230° field of view allows a single compact camera module to capture a very large surrounding area, making it suitable for close-range environmental awareness and panoramic vehicle imaging.

The combination of an ultra-short 1.5mm focal length and 8MP resolution is particularly useful for compact automotive camera modules installed around the front, rear, side, or roof areas of a vehicle. The fisheye optical design can capture a broad surrounding scene while reducing the number of camera positions required for certain monitoring configurations.

With IP68 protection, the lens is also designed for exposure to rain, road splash, dust, and other outdoor conditions. This makes it suitable for vehicle-mounted imaging equipment that operates continuously in changing weather and road environments.

For broader automotive perception requirements, this lens can also complement ADAS solutions where an extremely wide viewing angle is required for close-range scene acquisition.
