Low Distortion Lens – S06012006420F

S06012006420F is Low distortion Wide-angle 1/2″ and 1/2.3″ M12 CCTV lens with Built-In IR Filter, 8-Megapixel resolution, F2.0 aperture, for security surveillance.

8MP Machine Vision 6mm M12 Low Distortion Lens

The 6mm 8MP M12 wide angle lens is designed for high-resolution imaging with 1/2″ and 1/2.3″ image sensors. With an 81° diagonal FOV on a 1/2″ sensor, F2.0 aperture, and 8MP resolution, it provides broad scene coverage while maintaining the compact form factor required by embedded and machine vision camera systems.

Its M12 × 0.5 mount, 0.2m minimum object distance, 5.0mm back focal length, and 20.5mm total track length make this fixed focal lens suitable for compact industrial cameras, smart vision devices, robotics systems, and other applications requiring high-resolution wide-area imaging.

6mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

The 6mm M12 lens is designed for camera systems that need to capture a relatively wide scene while maintaining 8MP image resolution. Delivering a 64° horizontal FOV on a 1/2″ sensor, it strikes a practical balance between scene coverage and image detail. It fits applications that seek a broader perspective without relying on an extremely short focal length.

The 8MP resolution makes this lens suitable for systems where image details need to be preserved for inspection, recognition, detection, or AI-based image analysis. Compared with lower-resolution compact lenses, it can provide more pixel information for algorithms that depend on visual detail.

The F2.0 aperture is another practical feature for embedded vision systems. Its relatively large aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, supporting indoor environments and applications where illumination can vary. The 0.2m minimum object distance also allows the camera to be positioned relatively close to the target.

The lens supports both 1/2″ and 1/2.3″ image sensors, giving camera designers greater flexibility when selecting a sensor platform. The resulting FOV changes with sensor size, so the final configuration should be evaluated according to the required working distance and coverage.

Designed for high-resolution wide-area machine vision and embedded imaging applications where 8MP detail, F2.0 light gathering, and compact M12 integration are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor sizes are compatible with this 6mm M12 lens?
A: The lens is specified for 1/2″ image format and also provides FOV data for 1/2.3″ sensors.

Q: What is the FOV of the 6mm lens on a 1/2″ sensor?
A: On a 1/2″ sensor, the specified FOV is 81° diagonal, 64° horizontal, and 47° vertical.

Q: What is the FOV on a 1/2.3″ sensor?
A: On a 1/2.3″ sensor, the specified FOV is 78° diagonal, 62° horizontal, and 45° vertical.

Q: Is this lens suitable for 8MP cameras?
A: Yes. The lens is specified with an 8MP resolution and is designed for high-resolution camera systems using compatible 1/2″ or 1/2.3″ sensors.

Q: Is the 6mm lens considered a wide angle lens?
A: Yes. Its 64° horizontal and 81° diagonal FOV on a 1/2″ sensor provide relatively broad scene coverage, making it suitable for wide-angle embedded and vision applications.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The minimum object distance is 0.2m, allowing the lens to be used for relatively close-range imaging as well as general scene capture.

Q: What does the F2.0 aperture offer?
A: The F2.0 aperture provides good light-gathering capability, which can help maintain image brightness in indoor or variable-light environments.

Q: Does IRCF mean this is an IR corrected lens?
A: No. IRCF generally refers to an infrared-cut filter. It should not be interpreted as optical IR correction based on this specification alone.
