1.6mm M12 Fisheye Automotive Lens

This 1.6mm M12 fisheye automotive lens is designed for vehicle-mounted camera systems that require extremely wide scene coverage from a compact optical module. With a 181° diagonal field of view, F2.5 aperture, M12x0.5 mount, and IP67 waterproof protection, it is suitable for wide-area automotive imaging and close-range vehicle environment monitoring.

M12 Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

• 181° diagonal FOV provides extremely wide scene coverage for vehicle-mounted imaging.
• 1.6mm focal length supports broad environmental observation from a compact camera module.
• 154° horizontal FOV captures a wide lateral area around the vehicle.
• 0.1m M.O.D. supports close-range imaging of nearby objects and vehicle surroundings.
• IP67 protection helps the optical assembly withstand outdoor water and dust exposure.

1/4″ 1.6mm M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 1.6mm M12 fisheye automotive lens is designed for automotive camera applications where maximum scene coverage is required from a small camera module. Its 181° diagonal field of view allows the camera to capture an exceptionally broad surrounding area, making it suitable for monitoring areas immediately around a vehicle.

The combination of a 1.6mm focal length and 154° horizontal FOV is particularly useful for vehicle side-view and surrounding-area cameras. The lens can capture a broad lateral scene from a compact installation position, helping camera designers cover areas that would otherwise require a longer focal length or additional camera positions.

With a 0.1m minimum object distance, this lens is also suitable for close-range vehicle imaging. It can be considered for applications where objects, obstacles, curbs, or other environmental features may appear very close to the camera.

The IP67 waterproof rating makes the lens suitable for exterior vehicle camera modules exposed to rain, road splash, dust, and changing outdoor conditions. Its M12x0.5 interface and 13mm T.T.L. further support integration into compact embedded camera housings.

For broader vehicle perception architectures, this lens can be evaluated as part of ADAS solutions where an extremely wide viewing angle is required for close-range environmental imaging.

Compatible Device List

• Vehicle Side-View Cameras: The 154° horizontal FOV provides extensive lateral coverage around the vehicle.

When integrating an ultra-wide automotive lens, engineers need to consider the relationship between sensor size, focal length, field of view, and camera installation position. The Sensor Guide provides useful information for evaluating sensor and lens compatibility.

For selecting an appropriate optical configuration for a vehicle camera, the Lens Selection Guide can help engineers compare key lens parameters and application requirements.

Because fisheye lenses intentionally provide extremely wide coverage with significant geometric mapping characteristics, understanding lens distortion is also important. The Distortion Guide provides additional information about distortion in wide-angle optical systems.

Engineers can also use the FOV Calculator when evaluating the relationship between focal length, sensor dimensions, and required image coverage.
