8mm 3MP M12 Fixed Focal Wide Angle Lens for Compact Vision Systems

This 8mm M12 fixed focal lens is designed for compact camera systems that require a balance between wide scene coverage, image resolution and compact optical integration. Supporting up to 3MP resolution on a 1/3″ sensor, it delivers a 42.9° diagonal, 35.6° horizontal and 23.8° vertical field of view. With an F1.8 aperture, fixed iris, M12x0.5 mount and a compact Φ14mm × 19.1mm housing, this M12 camera lens is suitable for embedded vision, security monitoring and other space-constrained imaging equipment.

Product Highlights

• 8mm Fixed Focal Length for Balanced Coverage — The 8mm focal length provides a moderate wide-angle perspective, offering broader scene coverage than narrow-angle lenses while maintaining a more controlled viewing range than fisheye optics.
• 3MP Resolution Support — Designed for 1/3″ sensors with up to 3MP resolution, the lens provides a practical optical solution for camera systems requiring clear image capture without excessive optical complexity.
• F1.8 Wide Aperture — The F1.8 aperture supports light collection in indoor and variable-light environments, helping camera modules maintain usable image brightness when lighting conditions are not ideal.
• Compact M12x0.5 Design — With a Φ14mm diameter and 19.1mm lens dimension, the compact mechanical design simplifies integration into miniature camera housings and embedded vision equipment. TOWIN also provides dedicated M12 Lens solutions for compact imaging applications.
• Fixed-Iris Configuration — The fixed iris provides a simple and stable optical structure for camera products designed around consistent operating conditions, reducing mechanical complexity during integration.

8mm F1.8 M12 Lens Applications

The 8mm M12 lens is suited to imaging applications that need a controlled wide-angle view rather than the extremely broad coverage of a fisheye lens. Its combination of 3MP resolution, F1.8 aperture and compact M12 mechanical structure makes it practical for embedded camera systems and compact monitoring equipment.

Core Applications

• Compact security and surveillance cameras
• Indoor monitoring systems
• Embedded vision camera modules
• Smart home and IoT imaging devices
• Access control and entrance monitoring
• Compact industrial inspection cameras
• Machine vision systems requiring a moderate field of view

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 8mm M12 lens?
A: It is an 8mm fixed focal M12 wide-angle lens designed for compact camera modules using a 1/3″ sensor.

Q: What is the field of view of this 8mm M12 lens?
A: The lens provides a 42.9° diagonal FOV, 35.6° horizontal FOV and 23.8° vertical FOV.

Q: What resolution does this M12 lens support?
A: The lens is specified for 3MP resolution and is designed for compatible 1/3″ camera sensors.

Q: Is the 8mm lens suitable for compact camera systems?
A: Yes. Its M12x0.5 mount, Φ14mm diameter and 19.1mm lens dimension make it suitable for compact and space-constrained camera designs.

Q: Does this lens have a wide aperture?
A: Yes. It features an F1.8 aperture, which is suitable for applications requiring good light-gathering performance from a compact lens.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: No. Although it provides a wide-angle field of view, its 42.9° diagonal FOV and 8mm focal length on a 1/3″ sensor are better classified as a conventional wide-angle fixed focal lens rather than a fisheye lens.

Q: Is this a low-distortion lens?
A: No. The specified distortion is <12.9%, so it should not be categorized as a low-distortion lens. Applications requiring strict geometric accuracy should consider a lens specifically designed for low distortion.
