Pinhole Lens – CCL13042PMPR

CCL13042PMPR Pinhole lens button 4.2mm 1/3″ HD CCTV M12 mount lens for Covert hidden Surveillance-1

4.2mm 1/3″ M12 Wide Angle Pinhole Lens

This 4.2mm M12 pinhole lens is designed for compact camera systems that require broad scene coverage while maintaining a space-efficient optical configuration. With a 1/3″ image format, 83° diagonal FOV, 64° horizontal FOV, and F2.8 fixed aperture, it provides wide-area imaging for embedded security, access control, indoor monitoring, and other compact camera applications.

The fixed 4.2mm focal length provides a practical balance between viewing coverage and subject framing, while the 0.3m minimum object distance makes this configuration better suited to applications where the camera is installed at a moderate distance from the monitored area. Its M12X0.5 mount, 11mm TTL, manual focus, and fixed iris support straightforward integration into compact camera modules. This lens is part of TOWIN’s Megapixel Pinhole Lens range.

M12 Pinhole Lens Core Highlights

• 4.2mm fixed focal length for balanced wide-area scene coverage
• 83° diagonal FOV / 64° horizontal FOV for broad monitoring coverage
• F2.8 fixed aperture for a stable and compact optical configuration
• 0.3m M.O.D. optimized for monitoring subjects from a moderate working distance
• M12X0.5 mount and 11mm TTL for compact embedded camera integration

M12 Pinhole Lens Applications

Core Application Scenarios

The 4.2mm focal length and 83° diagonal field of view make this lens suitable for applications that need to capture a relatively broad area without requiring an ultra-wide or fisheye optical design.

Typical applications include:

• Access control and entrance monitoring
• Indoor security monitoring
• Embedded surveillance systems
• Video intercom equipment
• Smart door-entry devices
• ATM and self-service terminals
• Kiosk and information terminals
• Compact IoT camera systems
• Space-constrained monitoring equipment

Compared with shorter focal-length configurations, the 4.2mm focal length offers a more controlled perspective while still providing broad coverage. The 0.3m M.O.D. is particularly suitable when the camera is positioned farther from the subject rather than immediately adjacent to it.

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

Compatible Devices

This M12 pinhole lens can be integrated into:

• M12 compact camera modules
• Access control camera modules
• Indoor security cameras
• Video intercoms
• Smart entrance systems
• ATM and kiosk camera modules
• Self-service equipment
• IoT imaging devices
• Embedded surveillance systems
• OEM camera assemblies

For applications where the required image coverage needs to be verified against sensor size and installation distance, TOWIN’s FOV Calculator can help engineers evaluate the optical configuration.

Lens Selection Considerations

When selecting this 4.2mm pinhole lens, engineers should consider the sensor format, required FOV, camera installation distance, and available mechanical space. The 1/3″ image format and 83° diagonal FOV provide broad coverage, while the 64° horizontal FOV offers a practical viewing range for indoor and embedded monitoring.

The 0.3m M.O.D. is an important distinction for this model. It is better suited to applications where the camera does not need to focus on subjects extremely close to the lens. For different working distances or field-of-view requirements, TOWIN’s Lens Selection Guide provides additional guidance for matching lenses with camera systems.
