Low Distortion Lens – S06013005124F

S06013005124F is 5-Megapixel low distortion 1/3″ machine vision/CCTV lens with built-in IR filter, F2.4 aperture, M12/S-Mount, Suitable for security Surveillance.

6mm 5MP M12 Low Distortion Lens

This 6mm 5MP M12 low distortion lens is designed for compact camera systems that require stable imaging, controlled geometric distortion, and a moderate field of view. Supporting 1/3″ image format and featuring TV distortion below -6%, it provides a practical balance between scene coverage and image geometry.

With an M12×0.5 mount, F2.4 fixed aperture, 0.1m minimum object distance, and 6G+IRCF optical construction, this fixed focal lens is well suited to embedded cameras, compact vision modules, smart monitoring devices, and other space-constrained imaging systems.

M12 Low Distortion Lens Highlights

• 5MP resolution supports detailed imaging for compact camera systems.
• < -6% TV distortion provides controlled image geometry for wide-area scene capture.
• 6mm fixed focal length delivers a moderate field of view for targeted imaging.
• M12×0.5 mount enables compact and flexible camera module integration.
• 16.7mm TTL supports installations where limited optical space is available.

6mm M12 Low Distortion Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 6mm M12 low distortion lens is optimized for imaging systems that need more focused scene coverage than an ultra-wide lens while still maintaining a relatively broad viewing angle. Its 51° horizontal FOV makes it suitable for cameras positioned at a moderate distance from the target, where excessive scene expansion is unnecessary but reliable image coverage remains important.

The controlled distortion of below -6% makes this lens particularly useful for compact monitoring cameras, embedded vision modules, smart access devices, indoor observation systems, and machine-assisted visual monitoring. The 6mm focal length can provide a more concentrated view of the target area than short-focal-length M12 optics, helping systems capture relevant subjects without unnecessarily expanding the background.

Its compact M12×0.5 mounting interface and 16.7mm TTL are also advantageous for OEM camera designs where installation space is restricted. The 0.1m minimum object distance allows the lens to work with relatively close targets, making it practical for equipment-mounted cameras and near-field imaging modules.

Engineers selecting this type of lens should consider sensor format, working distance, target dimensions, and required field of view together. Towin’s Lens Selection Guide provides additional guidance, while the FOV Calculator can be used to evaluate field coverage for a particular camera configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 6mm M12 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal M12 lens designed for 1/3″ sensors, with 5MP resolution and TV distortion below -6%. Its moderate field of view makes it suitable for targeted imaging rather than extremely wide scene coverage.

Q: Is this 6mm lens a wide-angle lens?
A: The lens provides a 63° diagonal FOV and 51° horizontal FOV. It is therefore better described as a moderate-view M12 lens rather than an ultra-wide-angle or fisheye lens.

Q: What sensor format does this lens support?
A: The specified image format is 1/3″, with a resolution rating of 5MP.

Q: What is the field of view of the 6mm lens?
A: The diagonal FOV is 63°, horizontal FOV is 51°, and vertical FOV is 38°. The corresponding image dimensions are specified as 6.04 for diagonal, 4.82 for horizontal, and 3.63 for vertical.

Q: What does the < -6% TV distortion specification mean?
A: TV distortion below ‑6% suppresses geometric deformation across the image, benefiting applications requiring faithful scene representation.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this M12 lens?
A: The minimum object distance is 0.1m, allowing the lens to focus on relatively close subjects when properly integrated with the camera system.

Q: Why is the M12×0.5 mount useful for compact cameras?
A: M12×0.5 is a compact threaded mounting interface widely used in small camera modules. It allows the 6mm lens to be integrated into space-constrained imaging equipment.

Q: How do I determine whether a 6mm focal length is suitable for my camera?
A: The correct focal length depends on sensor size, working distance, target dimensions, and required field of view. Towin’s Focal Length Calculator can help estimate the appropriate focal length for a specific imaging setup.
