2.5mm M12 Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.5mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact cameras where the optical assembly must remain small while still covering a relatively broad scene. Its 85° diagonal FOV provides significantly wider coverage than a conventional narrow-angle lens, while the <1% TV distortion specification helps maintain controlled image geometry.

The compact Φ14 × 11mm housing is particularly useful for space-constrained embedded vision equipment. Camera designers can integrate the lens into small imaging modules where a larger industrial lens would occupy excessive mechanical space. The 15mm TTL further supports compact optical packaging.

For small-scale machine vision systems, the 0.1m M.O.D. allows the camera to be positioned close to the inspection area while maintaining a useful viewing angle. This can be beneficial for monitoring compact workspaces, detecting object presence, inspecting small components, or observing enclosed equipment.

The low-distortion optical design is also valuable in vision systems where the captured image is processed by computer vision software. Compared with highly distorted ultra-wide or fisheye optics, the <1% TV distortion specification provides a more controlled image geometry for applications involving object localization, visual measurement, and scene analysis.

Designed for compact low-distortion machine vision, embedded imaging, robotic perception, and close-range inspection applications.

When matching this lens to a camera sensor, the Sensor Guide can help verify image format compatibility. For general optical selection criteria, refer to the Lens Selection Guide.

Because field of view depends on both focal length and sensor dimensions, engineers can use the FOV Calculator to estimate the required scene coverage. The Focal Length Calculator can also assist with focal-length selection based on working distance and target size.

For applications requiring controlled image geometry, the Distortion Guide provides additional information about lens distortion and its influence on imaging performance.
