Fisheye Lens – CCL2302423MPF

CCL2302423MPF Fisheye lens HD 1/2.7″ Φ6.6 180° M12 mount lens F2.3 for 10MP 360 AR panoramic camera

2.4mm 180° 10MP M12 Fisheye Lens

This 2.4mm 180° M12 fisheye lens is designed for high-resolution ultra-wide-angle imaging where extensive scene coverage is required from a compact optical system. Supporting up to 10MP resolution on a 1/2.7″ image format, this lens combines a 180° field of view, F2.3 fixed aperture, and M12×0.5 mount for panoramic monitoring, embedded vision, security cameras, and wide-area visual sensing applications.

M12 Fisheye Lens Core Highlights

• 10MP high resolution supports detailed imaging with high-resolution camera sensors.
• 180° ultra-wide FOV enables extensive scene coverage from a single camera.
• 2.4mm short focal length provides an extremely broad perspective for panoramic and peripheral imaging.
• F2.3 fixed aperture provides a practical optical configuration for compact wide-angle camera systems.
• M12×0.5 mount and compact Φ28mm diameter support integration into space-conscious camera designs.

M12 Fisheye Lens Applications

Panoramic Security Monitoring

The 180° field of view allows the camera to capture a very broad area from a single installation point. This makes the lens suitable for indoor panoramic security cameras, room monitoring systems, compact surveillance modules, and wide-area observation equipment where reducing blind spots is a key requirement.

High-Resolution Wide-Area Imaging

With 10MP resolution and a 1/2.7″ image format, the lens is suitable for camera systems that need extensive scene coverage while maintaining high image detail. The combination is particularly useful for monitoring relatively large areas without relying on multiple narrow-angle cameras.

Compact Embedded Vision

The M12×0.5 mount and Φ28 × 26.59mm overall dimensions make this lens suitable for compact embedded camera designs. It can be integrated into small vision modules, smart cameras, panoramic imaging devices, and other equipment where optical coverage and mechanical space must be balanced.

Robotic Peripheral Awareness

The extreme wide-angle configuration can provide a robotic platform with broad environmental visibility. It may be used for peripheral scene observation, environmental awareness, and wide-area visual sensing where a conventional narrow-angle lens would leave significant areas outside the camera’s view.

For robotic imaging projects, TOWIN provides dedicated Robotics Vision solutions, while its M12 Lenses portfolio provides additional compact lens options.

Smart Security Camera Modules

The 10MP resolution, 180° FOV, and compact M12 form factor make this lens suitable for smart security camera modules requiring comprehensive visual coverage. Potential devices include panoramic cameras, indoor monitoring cameras, embedded security modules, and compact smart vision systems.

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

Optical Design Considerations

This lens is designed around an extreme fisheye optical architecture. Its -100% distortion is not an optical defect for this application; rather, the strong distortion enables the lens to achieve its exceptionally wide 180° field of view.

Therefore, this product should not be positioned as a low-distortion lens. If an application requires accurate geometric representation, object measurement, or conventional rectilinear imaging, a Low Distortion Lens would generally be a better optical solution.

For customers evaluating the effect of fisheye geometry on captured images, TOWIN’s Distortion Guide provides useful background on lens distortion and image geometry.

The lens is specified for a Φ6.6 image circle and 1/2.7″ image format. Camera sensor selection should therefore be checked against the active imaging area and required FOV. TOWIN’s Sensor Guide can help with sensor and lens matching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?
A: This is a 2.4mm fixed focal M12 fisheye lens designed to provide an ultra-wide 180° field of view for panoramic and wide-area imaging.

Q: What resolution does this lens support?
A: The lens supports up to 10MP resolution and is specified for a 1/2.7″ image format.

Q: Why is the distortion specified as -100%?
A: The -100% distortion is characteristic of the extreme fisheye optical design. It enables the lens to achieve a 180° field of view rather than producing a conventional rectilinear image.

Q: Is this a low-distortion M12 lens?
A: No. This lens is optimized for maximum field of view and scene coverage, not geometric correction. It should be classified as a fisheye and ultra-wide-angle lens.

Q: What is the advantage of the 2.4mm focal length?
A: The 2.4mm focal length provides an exceptionally wide viewing perspective, making it useful for panoramic monitoring, peripheral vision, and wide-area visual sensing.

Q: What mount does this lens use?
A: The lens uses an M12×0.5 mount, making it compatible with camera modules designed for this standard M12 interface.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.2m, allowing the lens to be used for relatively close-range wide-area imaging.

Q: What applications are suitable for this 180° fisheye lens?
A: Typical applications include panoramic security cameras, compact embedded vision, robotic peripheral awareness, indoor monitoring, and wide-area visual sensing.
