Low Distortion Lens – S06012006436F67

S06012006436F67 is Low-distortion 12-Megapixel 1/2″ M12 CCTV lens with built-in IR filter, IP67 waterproof rating, and automotive-grade design for security surveillance.

6mm 12MP M12 IP67 Low Distortion Automotive Lens

The 6mm 12MP M12 low distortion lens is designed for high-resolution imaging with 1/2″ and 1/2.3″ image sensors. It provides an 81° diagonal FOV on a 1/2″ sensor, controlled distortion below -2.9%, and a compact M12 × 0.5 interface, making it suitable for wide-area imaging in industrial, embedded, and outdoor camera systems.

With IP67 waterproof protection, a 0.2m minimum object distance, and a 20.5mm total track length, this fixed focal lens combines high-resolution imaging with environmental protection for camera systems that require reliable operation in exposed or demanding installation conditions.

6mm 12MP M12 IP67 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

The 6mm M12 lens is designed for camera systems that require a combination of high-resolution imaging, broad scene coverage, and environmental protection. On a 1/2″ sensor, it provides an 81° diagonal FOV and 64° horizontal FOV, giving the camera a relatively wide perspective while retaining the detail provided by its 12MP optical resolution.

The lens is particularly differentiated by its IP67 waterproof rating. This protection makes it suitable for camera assemblies installed in environments where dust, water spray, rain, or outdoor exposure may be present. The final enclosure and system-level protection should still be designed to meet the requirements of the complete camera assembly.

Its 12MP resolution can support applications where image detail is important for inspection, detection, recognition, or AI-based analysis. The 6mm focal length provides a more controlled perspective than ultra-short focal-length lenses, while the 64° horizontal FOV on 1/2″ provides useful coverage for fixed-position cameras.

The F3.6 aperture is suited to applications where the camera can operate with controlled or sufficient illumination. The 0.2m minimum object distance also enables relatively close-range imaging when the camera must be installed near the target.

Designed for high-resolution industrial and outdoor vision applications where IP67 protection, controlled distortion, and wide scene coverage are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Q: What is the field of view on a 1/2″ sensor?
A: The specified FOV is 81° diagonal, 64° horizontal, and 47° vertical on a 1/2″ sensor.

Q: What is the field of view 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 a 12MP lens?
A: Yes. The lens is specified for 12MP imaging and is designed for high-resolution camera systems using compatible sensor formats.

Q: What does the IP67 rating mean for this lens?
A: IP67 indicates protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion under the conditions defined by the applicable IP rating standard. System-level waterproof performance also depends on the camera housing and installation.

Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: Yes. The product is specified as a Low Distortion Lens with TV distortion below -2.9%. It is intended for applications where controlled geometric distortion is desirable.

Q: Is the 6mm lens suitable for outdoor vision systems?
A: The IP67-rated design makes it suitable for selected outdoor or exposed camera applications. The complete camera enclosure and operating environment should be evaluated as part of the system design.

Q: Does the IRCF specification mean the lens is IR corrected?
A: No. IRCF generally refers to an infrared-cut filter. This specification alone does not indicate optical IR correction.
