Low Distortion Lens – S06011707016F

S06011707016F is Low-distortion High-resolution 12-Megapixel M12-mount CCTV lens with Built-In IR Filter, fixed aperture of F1.6, suitable for surveillance application.

6.0mm 12MP M12 Low Distortion Lens F1.6

The 6.0mm 12MP M12 low distortion lens is designed for high-resolution imaging with 1/1.7″ and 1/2.3″ image sensors, including AR0821 and IMX577 configurations. With an F1.6 aperture, up to 78° diagonal FOV, and distortion below 1.8%, it provides a wide viewing range while maintaining practical image geometry for compact vision systems.

Its M12 × 0.5 mount, fixed iris, and 30.06mm total track length make this lens suitable for high-resolution embedded cameras, intelligent monitoring, machine vision, and other applications requiring a combination of wide coverage and strong light-gathering capability.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Highlights

• F1.6 large aperture for improved light-gathering capability in demanding lighting conditions
• Dual-format compatibility with 1/1.7″ and 1/2.3″ image sensors
• Wide FOV up to 78° diagonal with AR0821 for broader scene coverage
• M12 × 0.5 fixed focal design for compact camera and embedded vision integration

6.0mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

The 6.0mm M12 lens is designed for high-resolution camera systems that need a relatively broad field of view while retaining strong optical performance. With the AR0821 sensor, the lens provides a 70° horizontal FOV and 78° diagonal FOV, making it suitable for capturing wider scenes without moving to an extremely short focal length.

A major feature of this lens is its F1.6 aperture. Compared with smaller-aperture compact lenses, the larger aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, making the lens particularly useful for indoor environments, variable lighting, and intelligent camera systems that need to maintain image quality as illumination changes.

The 12MP resolution also makes this lens suitable for applications where the camera needs to capture more image detail for inspection, recognition, or algorithm-based analysis. The different FOV characteristics with AR0821 and IMX577 allow system designers to select the sensor configuration according to the required image coverage.

Designed for high-resolution embedded vision applications that require wide scene coverage, strong light collection, and compact M12 integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensors are compatible with this 6.0mm M12 lens?
A: The lens is specified for 1/1.7″ and 1/2.3″ image formats, with FOV data provided for the AR0821 and IMX577 sensors.

Q: What is the FOV of the 6.0mm lens?
A: With AR0821, the FOV is 78° diagonal, 70° horizontal, and 43° vertical. With IMX577, it is 68° diagonal, 57° horizontal, and 44° vertical.

Q: What is the advantage of the F1.6 aperture?
A: F1.6 provides relatively strong light-gathering capability, which can help camera systems maintain usable image brightness in indoor or changing-light environments.

Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: Yes. The specified distortion is below 1.8%. It is designed to provide controlled geometric distortion while supporting a relatively wide field of view.

Q: Is the lens suitable for 12MP cameras?
A: Yes. The lens is specified with a 12MP resolution and is intended for high-resolution sensor configurations such as AR0821 and IMX577.

Q: What mount does this lens use?
A: It uses an M12 × 0.5 mount with a fixed iris, making it suitable for compact camera modules and embedded vision equipment.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The specified minimum object distance is 0.2m, making the lens suitable for relatively close-range imaging as well as general scene capture.

Q: Does “IRCF” mean the lens is IR corrected?
A: Not necessarily. IRCF generally refers to an infrared-cut filter. The presence of IRCF alone should not be interpreted as optical IR correction across visible and near-infrared wavelengths.
