3.4mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 3.4mm M12 low distortion lens is optimized for compact camera systems where optical performance and mechanical size must be balanced. Its 82° horizontal FOV provides wide scene coverage without relying on an extreme fisheye configuration, while the < -1% distortion specification helps maintain relatively accurate object proportions and straight-line representation.

The lens is particularly suitable for embedded vision devices installed in equipment with limited internal space. Its 11.28mm T.T.L. allows designers to build shorter camera assemblies, which can be valuable for compact AI cameras, robotic sensors, smart devices, and vision modules integrated directly into machinery.

In robotics vision, the 3.4mm focal length and 82° horizontal FOV can provide a useful balance between scene coverage and image geometry. The lens can be used for nearby workspace observation, object detection, navigation assistance, and visual perception where the camera needs to see a relatively broad area without excessive fisheye deformation.

For compact machine vision equipment, the 0.2m M.O.D. supports short-distance imaging, while the 5MP resolution provides sufficient detail for selected inspection and monitoring tasks. The controlled distortion can also be beneficial where captured images are processed by computer vision algorithms that rely on relatively stable object geometry.

The compact optical structure and M12X0.5 interface further support integration into OEM camera modules where mechanical envelope, lens position, and overall module height are important design constraints.

Designed for compact embedded vision, robotics perception, machine vision monitoring, and space-constrained AI camera applications.

For sensor and image-circle matching, the Sensor Guide provides useful information when selecting a lens for a specific CMOS sensor. The Lens Selection Guide can also help evaluate focal length, sensor size, FOV, and application requirements.

Because this lens provides a wide FOV while maintaining distortion below -1%, the Distortion Guide can help engineers understand the relationship between lens distortion and image geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 3.4mm M12 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal, wide angle M12 lens with low distortion. It provides 5MP resolution, a 92° diagonal FOV, and distortion below -1%.

Q: What is the field of view of the 3.4mm lens?
A: With the AR0234 sensor, the lens provides a 92° diagonal FOV, 82° horizontal FOV, and 56° vertical FOV.

Q: Is this 3.4mm lens a fisheye lens?
A: No. Despite its 92° diagonal FOV, the lens has a specified distortion of less than -1%. It is therefore better classified as a wide angle low distortion lens rather than a fisheye lens.

Q: What sensor is this M12 lens designed for?
A: The listed FOV values are based on the AR0234 sensor. The lens has a maximum image format of Φ7.6mm, so the complete camera configuration should be checked for sensor coverage.

Q: What is the advantage of the 11.28mm T.T.L.?
A: The short 11.28mm total track length supports compact camera architectures. This is useful when the lens and sensor assembly must fit inside a small mechanical enclosure.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The M.O.D. is 0.2 m (200 mm), enabling close‑range imaging while retaining its wide field‑of‑view.

Q: Can this lens be used for robotics vision?
A: Yes. Its 82° horizontal FOV delivers broad coverage, with <‑1% distortion preserving stable image geometry. These features suit robotic perception and close‑range workspace monitoring applications.

Q: Can this lens be used for machine vision applications?
A: It suits compact machine‑vision systems requiring 5MP resolution, wide coverage, low distortion and small optical footprint. Confirm fit against inspection target, working distance, sensor and image‑detail requirements.
