Product Advantages

6MP High-Resolution Imaging
The 6MP optical design supports detailed image capture for modern surveillance, embedded vision, and intelligent camera systems where clear image information is important.

Bright F1.6 Aperture
The F1.6 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability, helping maintain image brightness and detail in indoor environments, shaded areas, and other challenging lighting conditions.

Controlled Optical Distortion
With distortion below 10%, this lens provides a more controlled perspective than ultra-wide or fisheye lenses, making it suitable for applications where image geometry and object recognition are important.

75° Wide-Angle Coverage
The 75° diagonal field of view provides useful scene coverage while maintaining a relatively natural perspective, making it suitable for surveillance and intelligent vision systems.

Compact M12 Mount
The M12 mount allows the lens to be integrated into compact board cameras and embedded imaging modules where installation space is limited.

IR-Compatible Optical Design
The optical construction includes IR capability, supporting camera systems that require infrared imaging performance. This makes the lens suitable for applications that operate under changing illumination conditions.

Short B.F.L.
With a 5.48mm back focal length, the lens can be integrated into compact camera structures and provides flexibility during optical and mechanical system design.

Lens Selection & Technical Considerations

Focal Length and Field of View
The 5.9mm focal length provides a 75° diagonal, 65° horizontal, and 38° vertical field of view. This configuration offers wider scene coverage than standard narrow-angle lenses while avoiding the extreme perspective associated with ultra-wide fisheye optics.

For more information about the relationship between focal length and FOV, visit TOWIN’s Lens Basics and use the FOV Calculator when evaluating a specific camera configuration.

Sensor Compatibility
The lens is designed for a 1/2″ image format and supports 6MP resolution. Correctly matching the lens image format with the camera sensor helps ensure complete image coverage and prevents unwanted vignetting.

See the Sensor Guide for more information about sensor and lens compatibility.

Distortion Consideration
With optical distortion below 10%, this lens provides a relatively controlled wide-angle image. It is suitable for many surveillance and intelligent vision applications, while applications requiring highly accurate dimensional measurement may benefit from a dedicated low-distortion lens.

For a deeper understanding of optical distortion, see TOWIN’s Distortion Guide.

Aperture and Low-Light Performance
The F1.6 aperture provides a strong light-gathering capability compared with slower optical systems. This can be beneficial for indoor surveillance, low-light environments, and cameras that need to maintain shorter exposure times.

IR Performance
The optical construction is specified with IR capability, making the lens suitable for systems that require infrared imaging. The exact wavelength performance should be evaluated according to the camera sensor and intended IR illumination source.

Focus and Working Distance
The lens uses manual focus and a fixed focal length. Focus can be adjusted during camera assembly to match the required working distance. System designers should evaluate the camera sensor size, object distance, object dimensions, and required FOV together when selecting the final configuration.
