1.5mm 190° 14MP M12 Fisheye Lens

This 1.5mm 190° M12 fisheye lens is designed for high-resolution ultra-wide-angle imaging where maximum scene coverage and close-range observation are required. With a 1/2.3″ image format, up to 14MP resolution, F1.8 aperture, and an exceptional 190° field of view, this lens is suitable for panoramic monitoring, compact security cameras, embedded vision modules, robotic peripheral awareness, and wide-area visual sensing.

M12 Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

• 14MP high resolution supports detailed image capture with high-resolution camera sensors.
• 190° ultra-wide field of view provides exceptional scene coverage and helps minimize visual blind spots.
• 1.5mm ultra-short focal length enables extremely wide-angle imaging from a compact optical system.
• F1.8 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability for wide-angle imaging applications.
• 0.1m minimum object distance supports close-range wide-area observation and compact monitoring scenarios.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

Panoramic Security Monitoring

The 190° field of view enables a single camera to capture an exceptionally large surrounding area. This makes the lens suitable for panoramic security cameras, indoor monitoring systems, compact surveillance modules, and wide-area observation equipment where reducing blind spots is a primary requirement.

The 14MP resolution also provides greater image detail than lower-resolution fisheye designs, making it suitable for applications where the captured panoramic scene may need to be digitally cropped or analyzed.

Close-Range Wide-Area Imaging

With a 0.1m M.O.D., this lens is particularly useful for situations where the camera is positioned close to the monitored environment while still requiring extensive scene coverage. Potential applications include compact indoor monitoring devices, entrance-area observation, equipment surroundings, and close-range environmental sensing.

Embedded Vision & Compact Camera Modules

The combination of M12×0.5 mounting, 1.5mm focal length, 26.79mm TTL, and 9G optical construction makes this lens suitable for compact camera modules. It can be integrated into embedded vision equipment where a very large field of view must be achieved within a relatively small optical assembly.

For compact optical integration, explore TOWIN’s M12 Lenses.

Robotic Peripheral Awareness

The 190° viewing angle can provide robotic platforms with extensive environmental visibility. The lens can be considered for peripheral scene observation, obstacle awareness, and wide-area environmental sensing where a conventional narrow-angle lens would leave significant areas outside the camera’s view.

For robotics applications requiring wide-area visual coverage, see TOWIN’s Robotics Vision solutions.

Smart Security & Wide-Angle Vision

The combination of 14MP resolution, F1.8 aperture, and 190° FOV makes this lens suitable for smart security camera modules and embedded monitoring systems that prioritize both broad coverage and image detail.

Potential compatible devices include panoramic camera modules, indoor security cameras, embedded smart cameras, robotic vision modules, and compact wide-area monitoring systems.

Designed for high-resolution panoramic monitoring, close-range wide-area imaging, compact embedded vision, and robotic peripheral awareness applications.

Optical Design Considerations

This lens uses an extreme fisheye optical configuration rather than a rectilinear wide-angle design. The specified optical distortion of < -99% is directly associated with achieving the exceptionally wide 190° field of view.

For this reason, the lens should not be positioned as a low-distortion optical solution. Its primary advantage is maximizing scene coverage rather than maintaining conventional geometric proportions.

If an application requires accurate object dimensions, image measurement, or geometrically corrected imaging, a Low Distortion Lens would be a more appropriate choice. TOWIN’s Distortion Guide provides additional information about how lens distortion affects image geometry.

The lens is specified for a Φ4.2 image circle and 1/2.3″ image format. The selected camera sensor should therefore be checked against the lens image circle and required field of view. TOWIN’s Sensor Guide can help with lens and sensor matching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?
A: This is a 1.5mm fixed focal M12 fisheye lens designed to provide an ultra-wide 190° field of view for panoramic and wide-area imaging.
