Low Distortion Lens – S06012805416ICR

S06012805416ICR is 1/2.8″ 8-Megapixel M12 low-distortion lens with 63° diagonal F.O.V., F1.6 aperture, and ICR holder for security surveillance.

M12 6mm 8MP Low Distortion Lens

This 6mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for 1/2.8″ 8MP image sensors such as the Sony IMX415, combining controlled image distortion with an F1.6 aperture for bright, detailed imaging. Its 63° diagonal FOV and integrated ICR holder make it suitable for high-resolution security cameras, day/night surveillance, and compact embedded imaging systems where image geometry needs to remain more controlled.

The 6mm focal length provides a narrower viewing angle than ultra-wide M12 lenses while offering more controlled perspective. Combined with 8MP resolution and an F1.6 aperture, this configuration is well suited to applications requiring detailed imaging and reliable scene reproduction. Engineers can refer to the Lens Selection Guide when comparing focal length, sensor size, field of view, and distortion requirements.

Product Core Highlights

• F1.6 Large Aperture: Provides strong light-gathering capability for low-light environments.
• 6mm Fixed Focal Length: Delivers a balanced 63° diagonal FOV for targeted scene coverage.
• Integrated ICR Holder: Supports day/night camera designs using an IR-cut filter mechanism.

M12 6mm Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 6mm M12 low distortion lens is designed for camera systems where a moderate field of view and controlled image geometry are more important than maximum scene coverage. Compared with shorter 4mm wide-angle configurations, the 6mm focal length provides a more focused viewing perspective, making it suitable for monitoring defined areas such as entrances, corridors, equipment zones, access points, and specific sections of commercial or industrial facilities.

The TV distortion of less than -4.9% provides a more controlled image than highly distorted wide-angle optics. This makes the lens useful when surveillance cameras need to capture recognizable objects while maintaining a relatively natural representation of straight lines and scene geometry.

The F1.6 aperture is another important feature for security applications. It provides increased light-gathering capability for cameras operating in dim indoor environments, shaded areas, or nighttime scenes. Combined with 8MP support, the lens can provide detailed imaging while maintaining a relatively compact M12 optical configuration.

The integrated ICR holder is particularly suitable for day/night camera architectures. It provides the mechanical interface required for an IR-cut filter mechanism, allowing the camera system to manage its optical filter configuration according to lighting conditions.

For engineers determining whether the 6mm focal length provides sufficient scene coverage at a specific installation distance, the FOV Calculator can be used to estimate the resulting imaging area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor is this 6mm M12 lens designed for?
A: The lens is designed for 1/2.8″ image sensors, with the specified field of view based on the Sony IMX415 sensor.

Q: What is the field of view of this 6mm M12 lens?
A: With the specified IMX415 sensor, the lens provides a 63° diagonal FOV, 54° horizontal FOV, and 30° vertical FOV.

Q: Is this M12 lens a low distortion lens?
A: Yes. The specified TV distortion is below -4.9%, providing controlled image geometry compared with more strongly distorted wide-angle optics. It is suitable for applications where distortion control is an important optical requirement.

Q: Why is the 6mm focal length different from a 4mm M12 lens?
A: At 6 mm focal length, FOV is narrower than 4 mm lenses for targeted‑area monitoring. It works well for entrances, equipment zones, corridors and similar surveillance scenes.

Q: What is the advantage of the F1.6 aperture?
A: The F1.6 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability, helping the camera maintain image brightness in dim or changing lighting conditions.

Q: What is the ICR holder used for?
A: The ICR holder provides a mechanical interface for an IR-cut filter mechanism in day/night camera systems. The filter can be switched according to the camera’s lighting and imaging requirements.

Q: Is this lens IR corrected?
A: No IR correction is specified. Its ICR holder belongs to the camera’s IR‑cut filter mechanism, not optical IR correction for the lens.

Q: Can this lens be used for machine vision?
A: Yes, it fits select embedded and industrial‑vision applications if 8MP, moderate FOV, controlled distortion and F1.6 aperture satisfy system needs. For precision inspection, check working distance, sensor pixel size and imaging accuracy.
