Fisheye Lens – CCL23024MP

CCL23024MP Fisheye HD lens” Φ6.7 185° M12 mount lens F2.0 for 5MP 360 AR panoramic camera

2.4mm 5MP M12 Fisheye Lens – 185° Ultra Wide Angle

The 2.4mm M12 Fisheye Lens is a high-resolution ultra-wide-angle lens designed for compact camera systems that require exceptionally broad scene coverage. Supporting a 1/2.7″ image format and 5MP resolution, this lens delivers an impressive 185° diagonal, horizontal, and vertical field of view. Its 2.4mm focal length and F2.0 fixed aperture make it suitable for panoramic monitoring, surround-view imaging, smart security cameras, and other embedded vision systems where a single camera needs to capture an extremely large viewing area.

With an M12x0.5 mount, 0.3m minimum object distance, and 29.3mm TTL, the lens is designed for integration into compact camera modules. The -100% distortion specification reflects its extreme fisheye optical design, which prioritizes maximum field coverage rather than maintaining a rectilinear image. The 7G optical construction provides a dedicated optical configuration for applications requiring 5MP imaging performance and an ultra-wide 185° field of view.

M12 Fisheye Lens Scenarios & Compatible Devices

1. Panoramic Security Cameras

The 185° FOV allows a single camera to observe a very large surrounding area, making this 5MP M12 fisheye lens suitable for panoramic security applications. It can help reduce blind spots in indoor environments where camera placement is restricted.

Compatible devices:

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

For complete application-level optical solutions, see TOWIN’s Smart Security solutions.

2. Surround-View Imaging

The extremely wide viewing angle makes the lens suitable for surround-view camera configurations where broad environmental visibility is required. It can capture a large portion of the area surrounding a device and can be combined with multiple cameras when wider overall coverage is needed.

Compatible devices:

• Surround-view camera modules
• Mobile equipment cameras
• Compact monitoring systems
• Multi-camera imaging platforms

3. Robotics Vision

A 185° field of view can provide robots with extensive environmental awareness from a compact camera position. This is particularly useful for mobile robots and embedded vision systems that need to observe nearby surroundings without using a large optical assembly.

Compatible devices:

• Mobile robots
• Autonomous inspection equipment
• Service robots
• Embedded robotic cameras

4. Panoramic and Immersive Imaging

The extreme fisheye coverage can be used in panoramic imaging architectures where a very large portion of the environment must be captured by one camera. Multiple 185° cameras can also be combined to create broader multi-camera panoramic systems.

Compatible devices:

• Panoramic camera modules
• Multi-camera panoramic systems
• Immersive imaging equipment
• Wide-area observation devices

Why Choose a 185° M12 Fisheye Lens?

The primary advantage of this lens is its combination of 5MP resolution and 185° field of view. Conventional wide-angle lenses generally provide a narrower viewing angle, while this fisheye configuration intentionally introduces significant geometric distortion to maximize scene coverage.

The -100% distortion specification should therefore not be interpreted as an optical defect. It is a defining characteristic of this fisheye design. For applications where software or downstream image processing can correct fisheye distortion, the lens provides a practical way to achieve extremely broad visual coverage from a compact M12 camera module.

If your project requires a specific sensor, FOV, resolution, or mechanical configuration, TOWIN’s Lens Selection Guide can be used as a starting point for evaluating compatible optical parameters.
