1.05mm 185° M12 Fisheye Lens

This 1.05mm M12 fisheye lens is designed for ultra-wide-angle imaging where maximum scene coverage is required in a compact camera module. Featuring a 1/3″ image format, 5MP resolution, F2.0 aperture, and 185° field of view, this lens provides an exceptionally broad viewing range for panoramic monitoring, embedded vision, compact security cameras, and peripheral awareness applications.

M12 Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

• 185° ultra-wide field of view provides exceptionally broad scene coverage.
• 1.05mm ultra-short focal length enables compact panoramic and peripheral imaging designs.
• 5MP resolution supports detailed image capture for modern camera sensors.
• F2.0 fixed aperture provides a balance between light transmission and compact optical design.
• M12 × 0.5 mount and 20mm TTL make the lens suitable for compact embedded camera modules.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

Panoramic and Ultra-Wide Monitoring

The 185° field of view allows a single camera module to capture an extremely large area, reducing blind spots in applications where comprehensive scene awareness is more important than conventional rectilinear image geometry. It can be used for indoor panoramic monitoring, room awareness, compact surveillance devices, and wide-area observation.

Compact Embedded Vision

With a 1.05mm focal length, M12 mount, 20mm TTL, and 6G optical construction, this lens is suitable for space-constrained camera modules. It can be integrated into embedded vision equipment where the optical system needs to provide maximum coverage without using a large lens assembly.

Robotic Peripheral Awareness

The ultra-wide viewing angle can support peripheral scene detection for compact robotic platforms. Rather than providing a conventional narrow forward-facing image, the fisheye configuration enables the camera to monitor a much larger surrounding area, making it useful for environmental awareness and obstacle-monitoring subsystems.

Smart Security and Compact Camera Modules

The 5MP resolution and 185° FOV make this lens suitable for compact security camera modules requiring wide-area coverage. Potential devices include panoramic camera modules, compact indoor security cameras, embedded monitoring cameras, and smart vision devices.

Designed for ultra-wide panoramic monitoring, compact embedded vision, robotic peripheral awareness, and wide-area security imaging applications.

Optical Design Considerations

This lens has an extreme fisheye optical profile, rather than a low-distortion imaging design. The specified distortion of < -100% is consistent with an optical architecture intended to achieve an exceptionally wide 185° field of view.

For applications where geometric accuracy is more important than maximum coverage, a Low Distortion Lens would be a more appropriate optical choice. For a better understanding of fisheye distortion and image geometry, see TOWIN’s Distortion Guide.

The 1/3″ image format should also be matched correctly with the selected camera sensor. TOWIN’s Sensor Guide can help when evaluating sensor and lens compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?
A: This is a 1.05mm M12 fisheye lens with an ultra-wide 185° field of view, designed for applications requiring maximum scene coverage.

Q: What camera sensor size is compatible with this lens?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/3″ image format and should be paired with a compatible 1/3″ sensor to achieve the intended optical coverage.

Q: Why does this lens have more than 100% distortion?
A: The <-100% distortion specification reflects the extreme fisheye optical design required to achieve a 185° field of view. It is not intended to provide rectilinear, low-distortion images.

Q: Is this a low-distortion lens?
A: No. This lens is specifically designed as an ultra-wide fisheye lens, where extremely wide scene coverage is prioritized over geometric correction.

Q: What is the advantage of the 1.05mm focal length?
A: The 1.05mm focal length enables an exceptionally wide viewing angle, making it suitable for panoramic monitoring, peripheral awareness, and compact wide-area imaging.

Q: Is this lens suitable for compact camera modules?
A: Yes. Its M12×0.5 mount, 20mm TTL, 3.5mm M.B.F.L., and 6G construction make it suitable for compact embedded camera designs.

Q: Can this lens be used for security monitoring?
A: Yes. Its 185° FOV can provide extensive scene coverage for compact security and monitoring cameras where minimizing blind spots is a priority.

Q: How can I calculate the expected field of view for another lens and sensor combination?
A: TOWIN’s FOV Calculator can help evaluate lens and sensor combinations when selecting an optical solution.
