Fisheye Lens – CCL13011MPFR

CCL13011MPFR Fisheye CCTV HD lens 1/3“ Φ3.6 190° M12 mount lens 3MP F1.8 security surveillance lens

1.1mm 4MP M12 190° Fisheye Lens

The 1.1mm 4MP M12 fisheye lens is designed for ultra-wide-angle imaging applications that require an exceptionally broad field of view in a compact optical package. With a 190° diagonal, horizontal, and vertical FOV, this lens captures an extremely wide scene while using a 1/3-inch image format and supporting megapixel-level imaging. Its F1.8 fixed aperture provides a relatively bright optical path for wide-area monitoring, while the M12x0.5 mount enables integration with compact cameras and embedded vision systems.

The 1.1mm focal length makes this lens suitable for applications where maximizing scene coverage is more important than maintaining rectilinear geometry. Its -115% optical distortion is characteristic of fisheye imaging and enables the lens to achieve its extreme 190° viewing angle. With a 0.2m minimum object distance, 17.08mm TTL, and compact 6G+IR cut optical construction, the lens is well suited to space-constrained imaging devices.

M12 Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

1. 190° Ultra-Wide FOV

The lens provides 190° field of view in diagonal, horizontal, and vertical directions, allowing a single camera to capture an exceptionally broad surrounding scene. This makes it particularly useful for panoramic monitoring and wide-area embedded vision systems.

2. 1.1mm Ultra-Short Focal Length

The 1.1mm focal length is optimized for extreme wide-angle imaging. Compared with conventional wide-angle lenses, it provides much broader scene coverage from a compact camera position.

3. F1.8 Fixed Aperture

The F1.8 aperture provides a relatively bright optical system for a fixed-aperture lens, helping maintain usable image brightness in demanding wide-angle imaging environments.

4. Compact M12x0.5 Interface

The M12x0.5 mount is widely used for compact embedded cameras and vision modules. It allows the lens to be integrated into space-constrained camera designs without requiring a larger C-mount or CS-mount assembly.

5. Fisheye Optical Design

With -115% optical distortion, this lens is specifically designed for extreme-angle fisheye imaging rather than low-distortion rectilinear imaging. The strong fisheye projection enables the 190° viewing angle and broad scene coverage.

M12 Fisheye Lens Application Scenarios & Compatible Devices

Smart Security & Panoramic Monitoring

The 190° FOV allows a single camera to monitor a very large area, reducing blind spots in compact surveillance equipment. It can be considered for panoramic security cameras, indoor monitoring modules, compact IP camera designs, and embedded surveillance systems.

Robotics & Mobile Vision

A robot operating in a confined environment can benefit from an extremely wide viewing angle for environmental awareness. The 1.1mm lens can be used in mobile robots, service robots, autonomous platforms, and compact robotic vision modules where broad scene coverage is prioritized.

See the Robotics Vision Lens Solutions for additional optical options.

Embedded Wide-Angle Cameras

The combination of M12x0.5 mounting, 17.08mm TTL, 1.1mm focal length, and F1.8 aperture makes this lens suitable for compact camera modules where optical space is limited. Potential devices include embedded cameras, smart devices, compact monitoring modules, and edge-vision equipment.

Panoramic & Surrounding-View Imaging

The equal 190° D/H/V field of view makes this lens particularly relevant to applications requiring very broad environmental visibility from a single camera position. It can support panoramic imaging, surrounding-view monitoring, and wide-area scene capture where fisheye projection is acceptable.

Understanding the -115% Distortion

The -115% distortion specification should not automatically be considered an optical defect for this product. This lens is designed as an extreme fisheye lens with a 190° field of view, and strong nonlinear projection is an inherent part of achieving such a wide viewing angle.

Therefore, this product is more appropriate for panoramic, surveillance, robotics, and surrounding-view applications where maximum scene coverage is important. If your application requires accurate geometric representation, measurement, or straight-line preservation, a low-distortion lens would generally be more appropriate.

You can learn more about optical distortion through TOWIN’s Distortion Guide.

Lens Selection Considerations

When selecting this 1.1mm fisheye lens, engineers should consider the relationship between sensor size, image circle, field of view, distortion, and mounting structure. The lens is specified for a 1/3-inch image format with a Φ3.6 image circle, so camera sensor compatibility should be verified before integration.

The 190° FOV is the primary advantage of this design, while the strong fisheye distortion means it should not be selected for applications requiring conventional rectilinear imaging. TOWIN’s Lens Selection Guide can help engineers evaluate these factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is the 1.1mm 4MP M12 lens?
A: It is an ultra-wide-angle M12 fisheye lens with a 1.1mm focal length and 190° field of view in diagonal, horizontal, and vertical directions.

Q: What sensor format is this 1.1mm fisheye lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/3-inch image format with a Φ3.6 image circle.

Q: Is the -115% distortion a problem for this lens?
A: Not necessarily. ‑115% distortion stems from the lens’s extreme fisheye optical design and its 190° field of view. This lens targets use cases that prioritize ultra‑wide scene coverage over straight‑line geometry.

Q: What cameras can use this lens?
A: The M12x0.5 mount makes it suitable for compatible compact camera modules, embedded vision cameras, surveillance cameras, robotic vision devices, and other M12-based imaging systems.

Q: What is the aperture of the 1.1mm M12 fisheye lens?
A: The lens has a fixed F1.8 aperture, providing a relatively bright optical path for wide-angle imaging.

Q: Is this lens IR corrected?
A: The supplied specification identifies the optical construction as 6G + IR Cut. This points to an IR‑cut component yet cannot alone confirm IR correction for the lens.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The specified minimum object distance is 0.2m.
