• 2.1mm focal length creates an ultra-wide perspective for panoramic and surrounding-view applications.
• M12 × 0.5 mount enables integration with compact camera modules and embedded vision hardware.
• 16.64mm TTL and 0.1m M.O.D. support compact installations and close-range wide-area imaging.

2.1mm M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 8MP M12 fisheye lens is designed for imaging systems where maximizing field of view is more important than maintaining conventional rectilinear geometry. With up to 190° FOV, the 2.1mm optical design can capture an exceptionally broad surrounding scene, making it suitable for applications that need to monitor a large area from a single compact camera position.

The lens is particularly useful in panoramic embedded cameras, compact robotic vision modules, autonomous inspection devices, smart monitoring equipment, and wide-area perception systems. Its 8MP resolution provides substantially more image detail than lower-resolution miniature fisheye lenses, allowing the captured image to retain useful visual information even when the scene is later processed, cropped, or digitally corrected.

The 0.1m minimum object distance also makes this lens suitable for close-range environmental observation. In robotics, for example, the ultra-wide perspective can help a compact vision module observe surrounding objects and obstacles without requiring multiple conventional cameras. In panoramic monitoring systems, its 190° field of view can reduce the number of cameras required to cover a particular area.

The fixed F2.4 aperture provides a stable optical configuration for embedded camera designs, while the M12 × 0.5 mount allows the lens to be integrated into compact camera housings and customized vision modules.

Designed for high-resolution panoramic imaging, ultra-wide embedded vision, and compact surrounding-view applications.

Because fisheye systems require careful consideration of sensor size, image circle, field of view, and distortion characteristics, the Sensor Guide can help engineers verify sensor compatibility. The Lens Selection Guide provides additional guidance when comparing focal length and field-of-view requirements.

For projects that require a specific panoramic coverage area, Towin’s FOV Calculator can also help evaluate the relationship between sensor dimensions, focal length, and viewing coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this 2.1mm M12 lens a fisheye lens?
A: Yes. Its up to 190° field of view is characteristic of an ultra-wide fisheye optical design. It is therefore classified as a Fisheye Lens rather than a conventional rectilinear wide angle lens.

Q: What is the maximum field of view of this lens?
A: The specified maximum field of view is 190° when used with the Φ6.8 image format. It provides 180° FOV at Φ6.3 and 95° FOV at 3.57mm.

Q: What sensor or image format is this fisheye lens designed for?
A: This lens features a Φ6.8 mm image format. Actual usable FOV depends on the sensor’s active area and image‑circle requirements.

Q: What resolution does this M12 fisheye lens support?
A: The lens is specified for up to 8MP resolution, making it suitable for high-resolution compact camera and embedded vision applications.

Q: What is the difference between this fisheye lens and a normal wide angle lens?
A: Conventional wide‑angle lenses seek natural rectilinear projection, whereas fisheye lenses deliver an extremely wide FOV with distinct projection behavior. This model achieves up to 190° FOV and adopts F‑θ distortion metrics.

Q: What does the F-θ distortion specification mean?
A: F‑θ distortion defines the image‑height‑to‑viewing‑angle relationship in optical systems. It is especially important for fisheye and ultra‑wide‑angle designs, where standard TV distortion poorly describes projection behavior.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.1m, allowing the lens to be used for relatively close-range wide-area imaging.

Q: What camera interface does this lens use?
A: It uses an M12 × 0.5 mount with a fixed iris and a total track length of 16.64mm, making it suitable for compact M12 camera modules.
