Fisheye Lens – S432102467

S432102467 is Fisheye 1/3″ Φ4.3 M12 3-Megapixel F2.4 lens with 210° field of view, IP67 Waterproof Automotive Lens, for security surveillance.

1.2mm IP67 M12 Fisheye Automotive Lens

This 1.2mm M12 fisheye automotive lens is designed for extreme wide-angle imaging in compact and weather-exposed camera systems. With a 210° field of view, IP67 waterproof protection, fixed F2.4 aperture, and M12 × 0.5 mount, it provides broad environmental coverage for automotive vision, outdoor monitoring, robotics, and embedded imaging applications.

The 1.2mm focal length and 210° diagonal field of view provide extremely broad scene coverage, while the IP67-rated construction makes this lens suitable for camera systems exposed to dust and water. Engineers can use the FOV Calculator to evaluate the coverage provided by this ultra-wide optical configuration.

1.2mm M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This IP67 M12 fisheye lens is designed for camera systems that need to observe an exceptionally large area while operating in demanding installation environments. Its 210° diagonal and horizontal field of view can capture a very broad surrounding scene, making it particularly suitable for applications where reducing blind zones is a major optical requirement.

For automotive vision, the combination of extreme FOV, compact M12 mounting, and IP67 protection makes the lens suitable for external camera modules requiring broad environmental coverage. It can be considered for surround-view, close-range vehicle awareness, parking assistance, and other camera configurations where a very wide perspective is required.

The IP67 enclosure characteristic also makes this lens suitable for outdoor embedded camera systems exposed to dust and water. Its 12.8mm T.T.L. provides a compact optical package for camera housings where installation space is limited.

In robotics and autonomous equipment, the 210° FOV can provide broad peripheral visibility around a platform. This can be useful for short-range environmental perception, obstacle awareness, and monitoring areas that may fall outside the viewing range of conventional lenses.

The lens uses a strong fisheye projection rather than a low-distortion rectilinear design. The specified TV distortion of less than -21% is therefore consistent with its priority on achieving an extremely wide viewing angle.

For applications requiring a better understanding of optical selection criteria, the Lens Selection Guide explains how focal length, sensor format, FOV, and application requirements affect lens selection.

A: Yes. The lens uses an M12 × 0.5 mount and provides a 210° field of view, making it suitable for fisheye and extreme wide-angle imaging applications.

Q: What is the focal length of this fisheye lens?
A: The lens has a fixed 1.2mm focal length.

Q: What is the field of view of the 1.2mm lens?
A: At the specified 1/3″ image format, the FOV is 210° diagonal, 210° horizontal, and 150° vertical.

Q: Is this lens suitable for automotive applications?
A: Yes. Its extreme field of view, compact M12 mounting, and IP67 waterproof protection make it suitable for certain automotive camera applications requiring broad environmental coverage.

Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified TV distortion is below -21%. This lens prioritizes an extremely wide 210° field of view rather than rectilinear low-distortion imaging.

Q: What does the IP67 rating mean for this lens?
A: IP67 indicates protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water under standardized test conditions. The complete camera assembly should also be designed to maintain the required environmental protection.

Q: What resolution does this M12 lens support?
A: The lens is specified for 3MP resolution and is designed for a 1/3″ image format.

Q: Can this lens be used in outdoor robotic vision systems?
A: Yes. The IP67 protection and 210° field of view make it suitable for selected outdoor robotic and autonomous vision applications where broad environmental visibility is required.
