Fisheye Lens – CCL1301020MP

CCL1301020MP Fisheye lens 1/3″ Φ3 210° HD M12 mount lens F2.0 for 8MP 360 AR panoramic camera

1.0mm 210° 8MP M12 Fisheye Lens

This 1.0mm 210° M12 fisheye lens is designed for ultra-wide-angle imaging applications that require maximum scene coverage from a compact camera module. Featuring an 8MP resolution, 1/3″ image format, F2.0 aperture, and 210° field of view, this lens provides an exceptionally wide imaging perspective for panoramic monitoring, embedded vision, robotics, and compact security camera systems.

M12 Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

• 210° Ultra-Wide Field of View – Captures an exceptionally large scene from a single compact camera position.
• 8MP High Resolution – Supports detailed imaging with the OV4689 sensor for high-resolution wide-area monitoring.
• 1.0mm Ultra-Short Focal Length – Maximizes coverage in applications where conventional wide-angle lenses cannot provide sufficient scene visibility.
• Compact M12 × 0.5 Mount – Suitable for space-constrained embedded camera and vision modules.
• F2.0 Fixed Aperture – Provides a practical balance between light transmission, compact construction, and imaging performance.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

The combination of a 1.0mm focal length, 210° FOV, and 8MP resolution makes this M12 fisheye lens particularly suitable for applications where scene coverage is more important than geometric accuracy.

Panoramic and Wide-Area Monitoring

The 210° field of view enables a single camera to observe an extremely broad area, helping reduce blind spots in indoor monitoring and compact surveillance systems. The 8MP resolution provides additional image detail for applications that need to inspect a large scene while maintaining useful image information.

Compatible devices:

• Panoramic camera modules
• Wide-area security cameras
• Indoor monitoring cameras
• Embedded surveillance systems
• Compact IP camera modules

Robotics and Mobile Vision

For mobile robots and compact robotic platforms, the extremely wide viewing angle can provide broad environmental awareness around the camera. The compact M12 mount and 14.84mm TTL make it suitable for applications with limited installation space.

Compatible devices:

• Mobile robot vision modules
• Autonomous robotic platforms
• Service robots
• Compact navigation cameras
• Peripheral vision modules

Embedded and Compact Vision Systems

With its 1.0mm focal length, short TTL, and M12 × 0.5 mount, the lens can be integrated into compact imaging devices where both physical space and field coverage are important.

Compatible devices:

• Embedded camera modules
• Smart vision devices
• IoT cameras
• Compact inspection cameras
• Edge vision systems

Immersive and Panoramic Imaging

The extreme 210° viewing angle is well suited to panoramic and immersive imaging concepts where a very large portion of the surrounding environment must be captured from a single optical viewpoint.

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

Optical Design Considerations

This lens uses an extreme fisheye optical design, with optical distortion specified at less than -99%. Such distortion is intentional and is fundamentally different from a low-distortion industrial lens. The objective is to achieve an exceptionally large field of view rather than maintain rectilinear geometry.

For applications where dimensional accuracy and straight-line preservation are more important, consider TOWIN’s Low Distortion Lens range instead.
