8mm 3MP M12 Fixed Focal Lens for Compact Vision Systems
This 8mm M12 fixed focal lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a relatively wide field of view without sacrificing mechanical simplicity. With a 1/2.5″ image format, 3MP resolution, and a 56° diagonal FOV, it provides a practical imaging range for embedded cameras, compact inspection equipment, and intelligent monitoring devices.
The F1.8 aperture provides useful light-gathering capability for indoor and controlled-light environments, while the fixed iris and fixed 8mm focal length provide a consistent optical configuration for equipment with a predefined viewing distance. Its M12x0.5 mount and Φ14 × 16.99mm dimensions make this lens particularly suitable for camera designs where installation space is limited.
With a 23.85mm TTL and 8.08mm BFL, this compact M12 lens can be integrated into small camera housings while maintaining a 3MP imaging capability. It is a practical fixed focal lens for embedded vision, compact machine vision, and intelligent imaging applications.
Product Highlights
56° Diagonal FOV for Broader Scene Coverage — The 56° diagonal field of view provides broader scene coverage than narrow-view lenses, making it useful when a compact camera needs to capture more of the surrounding target area.
F1.8 Aperture for Better Indoor Imaging — The F1.8 maximum aperture provides useful light-gathering capability for indoor monitoring, embedded vision, and inspection environments where illumination may not always be uniform.
Ultra-Compact Φ14 × 16.99mm Design — The small lens body addresses a common camera-design challenge: fitting adequate optical performance into housings with very limited internal space.
8mm Fixed Focal Length for Consistent Imaging — The fixed focal length provides a stable viewing perspective, making it suitable for equipment with a predefined working distance and eliminating the need for a variable zoom mechanism.
M12 × 0.5 Mount for Compact Camera Integration — The standard M12 mounting configuration allows straightforward integration into small camera modules and embedded imaging equipment.
M12 Fixed Focal Lens Applications
Core Application Scenarios
Compact Embedded Vision: This lens is well suited to embedded cameras that need a relatively broad viewing area while maintaining a very small optical footprint. The 56° diagonal FOV can help capture the target area without requiring a physically large lens assembly.
Indoor Intelligent Monitoring: The 8mm focal length and F1.8 aperture are suitable for compact monitoring cameras installed in indoor environments such as equipment rooms, entrances, retail areas, and smart devices where a controlled but relatively broad field of view is required.
Compact Machine Vision: For machine vision equipment with limited installation space, the lens can provide a practical combination of 3MP resolution, 8mm focal length, and compact mechanical dimensions for inspection of defined work areas.
Smart Device Imaging: Its Φ14 × 16.99mm dimensions make it suitable for intelligent devices and camera modules where optical performance must fit within a small enclosure.
Industrial Equipment Monitoring: The fixed focal configuration can be integrated into equipment-monitoring cameras where the target position is relatively stable and a consistent field of view is preferred.
