Fisheye Lens – CCL118019MP

CCL118019MP Fisheye CCTV HD lens IR corrected 1/1.8″ Φ5.4 M12 lens 190° 3MP F2.3 security surveillance

1.9mm 3MP M12 Fisheye IR Corrected Lens – 190° FOV

This 1.9mm M12 fisheye lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require an exceptionally wide field of view and infrared-corrected optical performance. Supporting a 1/1.8″ image format, 3 megapixel resolution, and up to 190° field of view, the lens captures an extremely broad scene from a single camera position. Its 1.9mm focal length, F2.3 fixed aperture, and M12x0.5 mount make it suitable for compact embedded camera modules where maximum coverage is a primary requirement. The IR corrected M12 lens design helps maintain consistent imaging performance across visible and near-infrared wavelengths, while the 0.1m minimum object distance supports applications requiring close-range wide-area observation.

• 3MP Resolution: Supports megapixel-level imaging for compact wide-angle camera systems.
• 1.9mm Fixed Focal Length: Delivers an extremely short focal length optimized for ultra-wide scene capture.
• IR Corrected Optical Design: Designed to maintain better optical consistency across visible and near-infrared imaging wavelengths.
• Compact M12x0.5 Mount: Suitable for embedded camera modules and space-constrained optical systems.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

Panoramic and Wide-Area Monitoring

The 190° field of view makes this lens particularly suitable for cameras that need to observe a very large area from a single mounting position. It can reduce blind zones in applications where conventional lenses cannot provide sufficient coverage.

Compatible devices: panoramic cameras, ceiling-mounted cameras, compact surveillance cameras, wide-area monitoring modules.

Smart Security Cameras

The combination of 1.9mm focal length and 190° FOV allows a single compact camera to cover entrances, rooms, corridors, retail areas, and other relatively confined environments. The IR-corrected design can also benefit camera systems that operate across visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

Compatible devices: smart security cameras, indoor monitoring cameras, IoT security devices, embedded camera modules.

Robotics and Mobile Vision

A very wide viewing angle can help mobile platforms monitor their surrounding environment without relying exclusively on narrow forward-facing optics. The 190° configuration is particularly useful when environmental awareness and scene coverage are more important than maintaining a rectilinear image.

Compatible devices: mobile robots, service robots, autonomous platforms, embedded vision modules.

Compact Embedded Imaging

The M12x0.5 interface and 24.49mm TTL make this lens suitable for compact camera assemblies where installation space is limited. The 0.1m M.O.D. also supports close-range imaging of large surrounding areas.

Compatible devices: embedded cameras, IoT imaging modules, compact network cameras, smart devices, miniature vision systems.

Understanding the 190° FOV and Distortion

This lens is designed around extremely wide-angle imaging rather than low-distortion image reproduction. Its specified -105% distortion is therefore an important characteristic of the optical design and enables the exceptionally broad field of view.

For applications where the final image will be digitally corrected, the lens can provide a useful combination of very wide scene coverage and compact optical packaging. If your system requires a specific image circle or sensor configuration, consult the Sensor Guide before final lens selection.

You can also use the FOV Calculator to evaluate field-of-view requirements when designing a camera system.

How to Select This M12 Fisheye Lens

When selecting a 190° fisheye lens, the camera sensor format, required image circle, field of view, mounting interface, minimum object distance, and image-processing requirements should be evaluated together.

This model is especially appropriate when the primary design goal is maximum scene coverage from a compact camera. Its 1.9mm focal length and 190° FOV provide substantially wider coverage than conventional wide-angle lenses, while the IR-corrected optical design makes it suitable for systems that need improved performance across visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What type of lens is this?
A: This is a 1.9mm fixed focal M12 fisheye lens with a maximum specified field of view of 190°.

Q2: What sensor format does this lens support?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/1.8″ image format with a Φ5.4 image circle specification.

Q3: What is the maximum field of view?
A: The specified FOV is 190° at Φ5.4. A 132° FOV is specified at Φ4.2.

Q4: Why does this lens have -105% distortion?
A: The high negative distortion is a characteristic of the ultra-wide fisheye optical design. It enables an exceptionally large field of view and is not intended to provide low-distortion rectilinear imaging.

Q5: Is this lens IR corrected?
A: Yes. The supplied specification identifies the lens as IR Corrected, making it suitable for camera systems requiring optical performance across visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

Q6: What mount does this lens use?
A: The lens uses an M12x0.5 threaded mount, which is commonly used for compact embedded camera modules.

Q7: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.1m, or 100mm, making the lens suitable for close-range wide-area imaging.

Q8: Is this lens suitable for low-distortion imaging?
A: No. With a specified distortion of -105%, this lens is designed for ultra-wide fisheye imaging rather than low-distortion applications. If geometric accuracy is critical, a low-distortion lens should be considered instead.
