Fisheye Lens – CCL12017MP

CCL12017MP Fisheye CCTV HD lens Φ4.8 195° M12 mount lens 5MP F2.0 security surveillance lens

1.7mm 5MP M12 Fisheye Lens – 195° Ultra-Wide FOV

This 1.7mm M12 fisheye lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require an exceptionally wide field of view and broad scene coverage. With a 195° diagonal, horizontal, and vertical FOV, this ultra-wide angle lens captures an extremely large surrounding area from a single camera position. The 5MP resolution supports detailed image acquisition, while the F2.0 fixed aperture provides a consistent optical configuration. Featuring an M12x0.5 mount, 20.2mm TTL, and only 0.1m minimum object distance, this 5MP M12 fisheye lens is well suited for panoramic monitoring, embedded cameras, robotics, and other space-constrained imaging systems.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

1. Panoramic and Ultra-Wide Monitoring

The 195° field of view makes this M12 fisheye lens particularly suitable for systems that need to capture an exceptionally large area from one camera position. The ultra-wide optical design can help reduce blind spots and provide extensive environmental coverage.

Compatible devices: Panoramic cameras, ultra-wide monitoring cameras, compact security cameras, embedded camera modules.

2. Indoor Security and Area Monitoring

For indoor environments such as rooms, entrances, corridors, retail spaces, and public areas, the 1.7mm fisheye design can capture a very large scene without requiring multiple cameras for every viewing direction.

Compatible devices: Smart security cameras, indoor monitoring systems, compact IP cameras, embedded surveillance modules.

3. Robotics and Environmental Perception

The extremely wide FOV can be useful for compact robotic systems that require broad environmental awareness. A 195° viewing angle allows the camera to observe a large surrounding area while maintaining a compact optical configuration.

Compatible devices: Mobile robots, service robots, autonomous platforms, compact perception cameras, embedded vision modules.

TOWIN also provides dedicated Robotics Vision solutions for different robotic imaging requirements.

4. Close-Range Wide-Area Imaging

With an M.O.D. of only 0.1m, this lens can be considered for imaging systems that operate close to surrounding objects. The combination of very short focal length and extremely wide FOV is useful when the camera must capture both nearby objects and a broad surrounding scene.

Compatible devices: Compact inspection cameras, wearable cameras, embedded imaging devices, small robotic cameras.

5. Immersive and Panoramic Imaging

The 195° field of view makes this lens suitable for applications where immersive or near-hemispherical scene capture is required. Its M12x0.5 mount and compact optical configuration make it practical for integration into small camera housings.

Designed for panoramic, ultra-wide-angle, and compact embedded imaging applications.

When selecting a fisheye lens, sensor format and required field of view should be evaluated together. TOWIN’s Sensor Guide and Lens Selection Guide can help with optical matching.

Why Choose This M12 Fisheye Lens?

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a fisheye lens?
A: Yes. The 195° FOV and <-118% distortion specification indicate an extreme fisheye optical design intended to maximize scene coverage rather than maintain rectilinear geometry.

Q: What is the field of view of this 1.7mm lens?
A: The specified field of view is 195° diagonal, 195° horizontal, and 195° vertical.

Q: What sensor format is this lens designed for?
A: The supplied specification lists an image format of Φ4.8. For a specific camera sensor, the optical and mechanical compatibility should be confirmed with the lens supplier.

Q: What resolution does this M12 fisheye lens support?
A: The lens is specified with 5MP resolution, making it suitable for compact imaging systems requiring high-resolution ultra-wide scene capture.

Q: Is this a low-distortion lens?
A: No. The <-118% distortion specification is characteristic of an extreme fisheye design. If accurate geometric reproduction is required, a dedicated low-distortion lens should be selected instead.

Q: What mount does the lens use?
A: It uses an M12x0.5 mount, making it suitable for compact camera modules and embedded imaging systems.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.1m, which makes the lens suitable for applications requiring very close-range ultra-wide imaging.

Q: Can this lens be customized for a specific camera?
A: TOWIN can evaluate project-specific optical and mechanical requirements, including sensor compatibility, focal length, field of view, resolution, and camera integration requirements.
