CCL12516MPR2 Low distortion CCTV 16mm 1/2.5″ M12 s-mount board lens IR corrected HD 5MP security

5MP 16mm M12 Low Distortion IR Corrected Lens

• This 5MP 16mm M12 lens combines a compact M12X0.5 mount, low distortion of less than 0.3%, and IR-corrected optical performance for precise imaging in space-constrained vision systems. With a 1/2.5″ image format and 26° diagonal field of view, it is well suited for industrial cameras and compact machine vision devices requiring stable image geometry.

Product Core Highlights

• 5MP high-resolution imaging for detailed industrial inspection.
• 16mm fixed focal length for stable, consistent image capture.
• Low distortion below 0.3% for accurate image geometry.
• IR-corrected optical design for improved imaging across visible and near-infrared wavelengths.
• Compact M12X0.5 design for integration into space-constrained vision equipment.

Low Distortion Lens Applications

• Precision machine vision inspection: The 16mm focal length and <0.3% distortion make this lens suitable for inspection systems that need a relatively controlled field of view while preserving accurate object geometry. It can be used for dimensional inspection, component identification, surface inspection, and visual quality control where excessive lens distortion could affect measurement or recognition results.

• Compact factory automation cameras: The Φ14 × 15.8mm compact optical structure and M12X0.5 mount make this lens suitable for small embedded cameras installed around production equipment, conveyors, robotic workstations, and automated inspection stations. Its fixed focal length also provides a consistent optical configuration for repeatable imaging.
• Close-range industrial imaging: With a minimum object distance of 0.2m, the lens can be positioned relatively close to inspection targets while maintaining a 16mm focal length. This makes it useful for compact inspection modules where the camera must be installed near the target but still requires a controlled viewing angle.
• IR-assisted industrial imaging: The IR-corrected design makes this lens a practical option for imaging systems that operate with visible and near-infrared illumination. It can support applications where consistent focus between visible and IR imaging is important, such as industrial monitoring and specialized vision inspection.
• Recommended compatible equipment: This lens can be integrated into compact machine vision cameras, factory automation inspection cameras, embedded industrial cameras, robotic inspection modules, barcode or object recognition systems, and other M12-based imaging devices using compatible 1/2.5″ sensors.
