Fisheye Lens – CCL12014MP

CCL12014MP Fisheye CCTV HD lens 1/2″  Φ4.7 185° M12 mount lens 5MP F2.0 security surveillance lens

1.4mm 5MP M12 185° Fisheye Lens

This 1.4mm M12 Fisheye lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require an exceptionally broad field of view and high-resolution image capture. With a 1/2″ image format, 5MP resolution, and 185° FOV in diagonal, horizontal, and vertical directions, the lens provides near-panoramic coverage for applications where conventional Fisheye lenses cannot capture enough of the surrounding scene. Its F-θ distortion of less than -3.7% helps maintain controlled geometric performance across the extremely wide viewing range. The F2.0 fixed aperture, manual focus, and compact M12X0.5 mount make it suitable for embedded cameras, panoramic vision devices, robotics, security monitoring, and other space-constrained imaging platforms.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

Panoramic and Surround-View Imaging

The 185° FOV makes this lens particularly suitable for systems that need to observe an exceptionally large area from a single camera position. It can reduce blind spots and increase scene coverage where standard Fisheye optics are insufficient.

Compatible devices:

• Panoramic cameras
• 360°-class vision modules
• Surround-view camera systems
• Compact monitoring cameras
• Embedded vision modules

Robotics and Mobile Vision

The Fisheye optical coverage can help mobile robots and compact robotic platforms capture more of their surrounding environment. This is useful for navigation, obstacle awareness, environment monitoring, and visual perception.

Compatible devices:

• Mobile robots
• Service robots
• Autonomous platforms
• Compact robotic cameras
• Embedded vision systems

For robotics applications requiring different optical characteristics, see TOWIN’s Robotics Vision solutions.

Smart Security and Wide-Area Monitoring

A 185° field of view allows one compact camera to monitor a very large area, making the lens suitable for applications where minimizing camera blind spots is important.

Compatible devices:

• Smart security cameras
• Indoor monitoring cameras
• Wide-area surveillance modules
• IoT cameras
• Compact network camera modules

Embedded and IoT Vision

The M12X0.5 mount and compact optical configuration make this lens suitable for integration into small embedded imaging products. Its 5MP resolution provides sufficient image detail for many machine-assisted monitoring and visual sensing applications.

Compatible devices:

• Embedded cameras
• IoT vision devices
• Smart home cameras
• Edge AI camera modules
• Compact industrial vision devices

When selecting an Fisheye lens, sensor compatibility is important. TOWIN’s Sensor Guide can help determine whether the lens image format matches your camera sensor.

Optical Design & Fisheye Lens Configuration

The lens uses a 4G2P optical construction and a 1.4mm fixed focal length to achieve an extremely wide 185° field of view. Its F-θ distortion specification of less than -3.7% is especially important for applications that require controlled geometric representation despite the very large viewing angle.

The F2.0 fixed aperture provides a consistent optical configuration, while manual focus allows the imaging system to be adjusted during installation according to the required working distance. The 2.55mm B.F.L. and M12X0.5 mount further support integration into compact camera assemblies.

Fisheye Lens Selection Considerations

Before integrating this 1.4mm M12 lens into a camera system, consider the following:

• Sensor format: The lens is specified for a 1/2″ image format.
• Field of view: Its 185° D/H/V FOV is optimized for extremely wide scene coverage.
• Distortion: F-θ distortion is specified at < -3.7%, which should be evaluated against the image-processing requirements of the application.
• Mount: The M12X0.5 interface is intended for compact camera modules.
• Focus: Manual focus allows optical adjustment during system integration.
• Aperture: The fixed F2.0 aperture provides a consistent optical setup.
