CCL125013MPF Fisheye HD lens automotive M12 lens 210° for 1/2.5″ Φ3.8 360 AR panoramic camera

1.3mm Megapixel M12 Fisheye Lens

This 1.3mm M12 fisheye lens is designed for compact imaging systems requiring an exceptionally wide 200° field of view. Featuring a 1/2.5″ image format, megapixel-level resolution, F2.4 fixed aperture, and M12x0.5 mount, it provides extremely broad scene coverage from a compact optical package. Its 8G construction and 17.50mm total track length make it suitable for space-constrained camera modules, panoramic imaging systems, smart monitoring devices, and embedded vision applications. With 200° coverage in diagonal, horizontal, and vertical directions, this 200° fisheye lens is particularly useful when maximizing the visible scene from a single camera is a key design requirement.

M12 Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

• 200° ultra-wide FOV — Provides 200° diagonal, horizontal, and vertical coverage for extremely wide-area imaging.
• 1.3mm ultra-short focal length — Delivers exceptional scene coverage in a compact optical configuration.
• M12x0.5 mount — Compatible with compact camera modules using the widely adopted M12 interface.
• Megapixel imaging — Provides megapixel-level image capture for panoramic and wide-area vision systems.
• Compact 8G construction — Lightweight optical construction helps reduce the size and weight of embedded camera assemblies.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

200° Panoramic Imaging

The defining feature of this lens is its 200° field of view, allowing a single camera to capture an exceptionally broad surrounding scene. This makes it suitable for panoramic camera modules, ultra-wide monitoring systems, compact observation cameras, and applications where reducing blind spots is more important than maintaining a conventional rectilinear perspective.

The extremely high optical distortion specification is consistent with its fisheye-oriented design. For systems requiring image correction, the camera’s image-processing pipeline can be designed to compensate for the fisheye projection according to the final imaging requirements.

For other fisheye configurations, TOWIN’s Fisheye Lenses portfolio provides additional options.

Compact Smart Security Cameras

The 1.3mm focal length and 200° FOV make this lens suitable for compact security devices that need to observe a very large area from a single camera position. Potential applications include indoor panoramic monitoring, room monitoring, entrance observation, retail surveillance, and smart security camera modules.

The 0.1m minimum object distance can also support close-range wide-area observation where the camera is installed near the monitored environment.

For broader system-level requirements, see TOWIN’s Smart Security solution page.

Embedded Vision and IoT Cameras

With an M12x0.5 mount, 17.50mm TTL, and 8G construction, this lens is well suited to compact embedded camera designs. It can be integrated into smart home cameras, IoT vision devices, panoramic modules, compact monitoring equipment, and other small-form-factor imaging systems.

The 3.27mm B.F.L. is another important mechanical parameter for engineers evaluating sensor and camera-module integration.

For engineers selecting an M12 optical solution, the M12 Lenses range provides additional compact lens configurations.

Robotics and Mobile Vision

A 200° FOV can provide a very broad visual field for mobile or robotic platforms. It can help capture surrounding environmental information, support navigation-related vision tasks, and reduce the number of cameras required for wide-area observation.

This type of fisheye lens is particularly relevant to compact robotic platforms where camera size and field coverage are both important design considerations. Before final selection, engineers should evaluate whether the system requires fisheye image correction or panoramic image processing.

Compatible Devices

This 1.3mm M12 fisheye lens can be considered for:

• Panoramic camera modules
• Ultra-wide security cameras
• Smart home cameras
• IoT vision devices
• Embedded camera modules
• Compact robotic cameras
• Indoor monitoring systems
• Wide-area observation cameras
• Panoramic imaging systems

Designed for ultra-wide panoramic imaging applications, this lens combines a 1.3mm focal length, 200° FOV, M12 mounting interface, megapixel resolution, and lightweight 8G construction for compact camera designs.

Optical Selection Considerations

A 200° field of view is substantially wider than conventional wide-angle lenses, so this product should be evaluated as a fisheye lens rather than a conventional low-distortion wide-angle lens. Its specified optical distortion of < -138% reflects the extreme field coverage and projection characteristics of the optical design.

When integrating the lens, engineers should evaluate the target sensor format, image circle, image-processing requirements, mechanical clearance, and whether software-based fisheye correction or panoramic conversion is required.

For more information about selecting the appropriate optical configuration, refer to TOWIN’s Lens Selection Guide.

Engineers can also use the FOV Calculator to evaluate field-of-view requirements during the initial lens selection process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is the 1.3mm M12 lens?
A: It is an ultra-wide fisheye lens with a 1.3mm fixed focal length, 200° field of view, M12x0.5 mount, and megapixel-level resolution.

Q: What sensor format is this lens designed for?
A: The specified image format is 1/2.5″, with a Φ3.8 image format specification.

Q: How wide is the field of view?
A: The lens provides 200° FOV in diagonal, horizontal, and vertical directions, giving it exceptionally broad scene coverage.

Q: Why is the optical distortion specification so high?
A: The optical distortion is specified at less than -138% because the lens is designed for extremely wide 200° fisheye imaging. Such projection characteristics are fundamentally different from conventional rectilinear low-distortion lenses.

Q: Is this lens IR corrected?
A: The supplied specification states IR Cut, not IR Corrected. Therefore, this product should be described as an IR-cut configuration rather than an IR-corrected lens.

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 designed around the M12 interface.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.1m, or 100mm, which supports close-range wide-area imaging.

Q: Can this 200° M12 fisheye lens be customized?
A: TOWIN can evaluate project-specific optical and mechanical requirements based on sensor format, FOV, resolution, mounting interface, dimensions, and application needs. For a customized lens project, contact TOWIN.
