Pinhole Lens – CCL13042PMP

CCL13042PMP Pinhole lens 4.2mm 1/3″ IR MP HD CCTV M12 mount lens for Covert hidden Surveillance

4.2mm 1/3″ M12 Wide Angle Pinhole Lens

This 4.2mm M12 pinhole lens is designed for compact camera systems that require wide-area scene coverage in a small optical configuration. Featuring a 1/3″ image format, 80° diagonal FOV, 64° horizontal FOV, F2.8 fixed aperture, and 4.2mm focal length, this lens provides a practical balance between viewing coverage and image detail for embedded security and monitoring systems.

The M12X0.5 mount, 11mm TTL, manual focus, and 0.1m minimum object distance make this lens suitable for compact camera modules where installation space and close-range imaging are important. As part of TOWIN’s Megapixel Pinhole Lens range, it can be integrated into a variety of discreet and space-constrained imaging devices.

• 4.2mm wide-angle focal length for broad scene coverage in compact camera systems
• 80° diagonal FOV and 64° horizontal FOV for practical wide-area imaging
• F2.8 fixed aperture for a stable optical configuration in embedded camera applications
• 0.1m minimum object distance for close-range monitoring and nearby subjects
• M12X0.5 mount with 11mm TTL for compact camera module integration

M12 Pinhole Lens Applications

Core Application Scenarios

This 4.2mm M12 pinhole lens is particularly suitable for applications where the camera needs to capture a relatively broad area from a short installation distance without using a large optical assembly.

Typical applications include:

• Access control and entrance monitoring
• Embedded security cameras
• Indoor monitoring systems
• Intercom and video door-entry equipment
• ATM and self-service terminals
• Kiosk and information terminals
• Compact IoT imaging devices
• Space-constrained surveillance modules

The 64° horizontal FOV provides useful lateral coverage for monitoring entrances, counters, terminals, and other nearby areas, while the 0.1m M.O.D. allows the lens to focus on relatively close subjects.

Designed for compact wide-angle security, access control, close-range monitoring, and embedded camera applications.

Compatible Devices

The lens can be considered for integration into:

• Compact M12 camera modules
• Access control camera modules
• Embedded security camera systems
• Video intercoms
• Smart door-entry devices
• ATM and payment terminals
• Kiosk cameras
• Self-service equipment
• Indoor monitoring devices
• OEM camera assemblies

For projects where field of view needs to be matched precisely to sensor dimensions and working distance, TOWIN’s FOV Calculator can be used as part of the lens selection process.

Lens Selection Considerations

When selecting a 4.2mm pinhole lens, the sensor format, required field of view, installation distance, and available mechanical space should be evaluated together. The 1/3″ image format and 80° diagonal / 64° horizontal FOV of this lens make it more suitable for moderate wide-angle coverage than ultra-wide or fisheye applications.

The 0.1m M.O.D. is particularly useful when the camera is positioned close to the monitored subject. For applications requiring a different focal length or field of view, TOWIN provides additional lens selection resources to help match the optical configuration to the camera system.
