M12 Lens – CCL1312MP

CCL1312MP Low distortion CCTV 12mm M12 S-mount board lens 1/3″ HD IR corrected F1.6 surveillance

Note: The supplied distortion specification is retained as provided. For production documentation, the optical distortion convention and whether the value represents signed TV distortion or distortion magnitude should be confirmed.

12mm M12 Megapixel Fixed Focal Lens

This 12mm M12 lens is a compact megapixel fixed focal lens designed for 1/3″ image sensors and applications requiring a relatively narrow field of view with controlled optical distortion. With a 12mm focal length, F1.6 aperture, 29° diagonal FOV, manual focus, and M12×0.5 mount, it provides a practical optical solution for compact camera modules, embedded imaging systems, monitoring devices, and other space-constrained vision applications.

Designed for compact embedded imaging applications, this lens combines a compact 20.95mm TTL with a fixed iris and 5G optical construction for stable image capture.

For help selecting the correct focal length, sensor format, and field of view, refer to the Lens Selection Guide and Sensor Guide.

Product Core Highlights

• 12mm fixed focal length provides a narrower 29° diagonal field of view for applications requiring more concentrated scene coverage.
• F1.6 aperture supports efficient light transmission for compact imaging systems operating under varied lighting conditions.
• M12 × 0.5 mount enables integration with a wide range of compact camera modules and embedded vision platforms.
• Megapixel optical performance supports image capture where higher detail is required from a 1/3″ sensor.
• 20.95mm TTL compact design helps integrate the lens into space-constrained camera assemblies.

Product Applications & Compatible Devices

The 12mm focal length makes this lens different from ultra-wide M12 camera lenses by providing a more focused field of view. Its 23° horizontal and 17° vertical FOV can be useful when the camera needs to concentrate on a defined area rather than capture a very large scene.

Compact Monitoring Systems

The 12mm focal length can help compact monitoring cameras focus on a specific zone, entrance, equipment area, or localized scene where an ultra-wide lens would capture excessive background information.

Compatible devices: compact monitoring cameras, embedded security camera modules, access monitoring devices, and localized observation cameras.

Embedded Vision Devices

With an M12×0.5 mount, fixed iris, manual focus, and 20.95mm TTL, the lens is suitable for integration into compact embedded camera assemblies where mechanical space and optical configuration need to be carefully controlled.

Compatible devices: embedded vision modules, compact imaging devices, IoT cameras, OEM camera modules, and space-constrained optical assemblies.

Inspection & Observation Equipment

The relatively narrow FOV of the 12mm focal length can be useful for imaging a defined inspection area without the strong perspective coverage associated with short focal length lenses. This makes it suitable for compact observation and localized inspection systems.

Compatible devices: compact inspection cameras, equipment monitoring cameras, electronic inspection devices, and specialized imaging modules.

OEM Camera Development

The standardized M12×0.5 interface and compact optical structure make this lens suitable for OEM camera projects where a fixed focal length and defined field of view are required. TOWIN can also support customized optical requirements for different sensor and mechanical configurations.

For projects requiring a different FOV or focal length, use the FOV Calculator to estimate lens selection requirements or contact TOWIN through the Contact page for optical customization.

Why Choose This M12 Lens?

This lens is particularly suitable when a project requires a 12mm M12 lens rather than an ultra-wide optical configuration. The 29° diagonal FOV provides concentrated scene coverage, while the F1.6 aperture and megapixel optical specification support compact imaging applications where image detail and light transmission are important.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor size is this 12mm M12 lens designed for?
A: This lens is designed for a 1/3″ image format and is suitable for camera modules using compatible 1/3″ sensors.

Q: What is the field of view of the 12mm M12 lens?
A: The lens provides a 29° diagonal FOV, 23° horizontal FOV, and 17° vertical FOV, making it suitable for more concentrated scene coverage.

Q: Is this lens a wide-angle M12 lens?
A: No. With a 29° diagonal field of view, this 12mm lens is better described as a relatively narrow-FOV M12 lens rather than a conventional wide-angle lens.

Q: Does this M12 lens support zoom?
A: No. It uses a fixed 12mm focal length, so it does not provide optical zoom.

Q: What type of focus does the lens use?
A: The lens uses manual focus, allowing the optical focus position to be adjusted during camera assembly or system setup.

Q: What is the mount specification?
A: The lens uses an M12×0.5 mount, a common interface for compact embedded camera modules and small imaging systems.

Q: What is the aperture of this 12mm lens?
A: The lens has an F1.6 aperture and a fixed iris configuration.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this lens for an OEM project?
A: TOWIN can evaluate customized optical requirements such as focal length, sensor format, field of view, distortion, mechanical dimensions, and other project-specific specifications. Contact TOWIN to discuss your application requirements.
