Pinhole Lens – CCL13080PMP

CCL13080PMP Pinhole lens 8mm 1/3″ IR MP HD CCTV M12 mount lens for Covert hidden Surveillance

8mm 1/3″ M12 MP Pinhole Lens

This 8mm M12 pinhole lens is designed for compact camera systems that require focused image coverage, megapixel-level imaging, and a discreet optical configuration. With a 1/3″ image format, 43° diagonal FOV, 35° horizontal FOV, and MP resolution, it provides a balanced viewing angle for monitoring defined areas without the excessive scene coverage of wide-angle lenses.

The lens features an 8mm fixed focal length, F3.2 fixed aperture, M12X0.5 mount, and manual focus. With a 0.3m minimum object distance and 15.3mm TTL, it is well suited to compact embedded cameras where the optical system needs to observe a specific target area from a relatively close working distance.

M12 Pinhole Lens Core Highlights

• 8mm fixed focal length provides focused coverage for defined monitoring areas.
• MP resolution supports detailed imaging for compact embedded camera applications.
• 43° diagonal FOV / 35° horizontal FOV provides balanced scene coverage without an excessively wide perspective.
• M12X0.5 mount supports integration into compact camera modules and embedded imaging equipment.
• 0.3m M.O.D. makes the lens suitable for close-range observation of defined targets.

M12 Pinhole Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

Focused Embedded Monitoring

The 8mm focal length provides a more concentrated viewing area than short focal length pinhole lenses. Combined with a 35° horizontal FOV, this configuration is appropriate when the camera needs to monitor a particular entrance, object, interface, or defined section of a scene rather than an entire wide area.

Potential applications include:

• Access control camera modules
• Entrance and doorway monitoring
• ATM and kiosk cameras
• Self-service terminal cameras
• Embedded security systems
• Intercom camera modules
• Indoor equipment monitoring
• Compact OEM camera systems

For additional pinhole configurations with different focal lengths and optical characteristics, see the Megapixel Pinhole Lens collection.

Compact Camera Module Integration

The M12X0.5 interface is suitable for compact camera assemblies where installation space and mechanical integration are important considerations. The fixed focal length and fixed iris simplify the optical architecture, while manual focus provides adjustment capability during assembly and system setup.

The 15.3mm TTL should be considered when determining the available mechanical space inside the camera housing. Integrators should also verify sensor format, required image coverage, working distance, and mechanical clearance before finalizing the lens-camera combination.

Close-Range Target Imaging

With a 0.3m minimum object distance, this lens can be used for applications where the camera is positioned relatively close to the monitored target. The 35° horizontal field of view helps maintain concentrated image coverage, making the configuration suitable for observing specific objects or zones.

For help selecting focal length according to sensor size, working distance, and required field of view, refer to TOWIN’s Lens Selection Guide. The FOV Calculator can also be used to evaluate the expected viewing area.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 8mm M12 lens?
A: This is an 8mm fixed focal pinhole lens with an M12X0.5 mount, designed for compact camera modules and focused monitoring applications.

Q: What is the field of view of this 8mm pinhole lens?
A: The lens provides a specified 43° diagonal field of view and 35° horizontal field of view, offering relatively concentrated scene coverage.

Q: What sensor format is compatible with this lens?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/3″ image format. The camera sensor should be checked against this image format before integration.

Q: Is the 8mm focal length fixed?
A: Yes. This lens has an 8mm fixed focal length and fixed zoom configuration. It does not provide variable focal-length adjustment.

Q: What is the aperture of this pinhole lens?
A: The lens uses a fixed F3.2 aperture. The fixed aperture provides a consistent optical configuration for applications with relatively controlled lighting conditions.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.3m, allowing the lens to be considered for close-range imaging where the target is positioned at approximately 300mm or farther from the lens.

Q: What does the 15.3mm TTL mean for camera integration?
A: TTL refers to the total optical/mechanical length specification of the lens. The 15.3mm value should be considered when checking the available installation space within the camera housing.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this M12 pinhole lens?
A: TOWIN can evaluate project-specific requirements such as focal length, sensor format, optical performance, mechanical interface, and other customization needs. For OEM projects, contact TOWIN.
