M12 Fisheye Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

Core Application Scenes

This 200° M12 fisheye lens is specifically designed for applications that need to capture an exceptionally large viewing area from a single compact camera. Its 200° horizontal, vertical, and diagonal FOV makes it particularly useful for panoramic and immersive imaging systems where conventional wide-angle lenses cannot provide sufficient scene coverage.

For compact indoor monitoring devices, the lens can capture a very broad area while keeping the camera module small and lightweight. It can be integrated into ceiling-mounted panoramic cameras, compact smart monitoring devices, and embedded vision modules where minimizing the number of cameras can simplify system architecture.

The 1.7mm focal length and 0.1m minimum object distance also make this lens suitable for close-range wide-area imaging. In robotics and mobile vision equipment, its extreme FOV can help provide peripheral scene awareness, allowing a compact camera to observe objects and obstacles across a large surrounding area.

For engineers developing panoramic or ultra-wide-angle imaging systems, the M12 Lenses portfolio provides additional compact lens options with different focal lengths and optical characteristics.

• Immersive Imaging Systems: The extreme field of view can be used as an optical component in panoramic, immersive, and multi-camera imaging architectures.
• Close-Range Monitoring: With a 0.1m M.O.D., the lens can capture nearby objects while maintaining exceptionally broad scene coverage.

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

Optical Design Considerations

The < -97% optical distortion specification reflects the extreme fisheye optical design required to achieve a 200° field of view. This lens should therefore be selected when maximum coverage is more important than maintaining rectilinear image geometry.

For projects where distortion must be controlled more tightly, engineers can review TOWIN’s Low Distortion Lens solutions or consult the Distortion Guide to understand the relationship between lens design and image geometry.

The F2.0 fixed aperture provides a practical balance between compact optical construction and light-gathering capability. When evaluating the lens with a specific CMOS sensor, engineers can also use the Sensor Guide to verify sensor-format compatibility.

For system-level field-of-view evaluation, the FOV Calculator can help estimate the coverage obtained from different sensor and lens combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?

A: This is a 1.7mm M12 fisheye lens with a fixed F2.0 aperture and an ultra-wide 200° field of view. It is designed for applications requiring maximum scene coverage from a compact camera module.

Q: Why does this lens have more than 180° field of view?

A: The 200° FOV is achieved through an extreme fisheye optical design. Unlike conventional rectilinear wide-angle lenses, fisheye lenses intentionally introduce strong optical distortion to capture an exceptionally large viewing area.

Q: What sensor is this 1.7mm M12 fisheye lens designed for?

A: The specification provided lists the OV10640 sensor and a 1/2.56″ image format. System engineers should verify the actual sensor active area and image-circle requirements before final integration.

Q: What applications are suitable for a 200° fisheye lens?

A: Typical applications include panoramic monitoring, compact smart security cameras, immersive imaging, embedded vision, robotic peripheral awareness, and close-range wide-area observation.

Q: Is the aperture adjustable?

A: No. The lens uses a fixed F2.0 iris, providing a constant aperture throughout operation and simplifying integration into compact camera modules.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?

A: The specified minimum object distance is 0.1m, making the lens suitable for close-range imaging where a very wide viewing angle is required.

Q: Can TOWIN provide customized versions of this M12 fisheye lens?

A: TOWIN can evaluate optical and mechanical customization requirements according to the target sensor, camera housing, field of view, and application. For project-specific requirements, engineers can contact TOWIN for a customized lens assessment.
