Wide Angle Lens – CCL132021MP

CCL132021MP 2.1mm 8MP M12 wide angle lens with 153° FOV

2.1mm 8MP Ultra-Wide Angle M12 Lens

This 2.1mm 8MP M12 lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require an exceptionally wide field of view without using a fisheye optical configuration. With a 153° diagonal FOV, 130° horizontal FOV, F1.8 aperture, and M12X0.5 mount, it provides broad scene coverage in space-constrained camera designs. Its compact 20.3mm total track length and 0.2m minimum object distance make it well suited for close-range and wide-area imaging applications.

Product Core Highlights

• 8MP high-resolution imaging for detailed compact camera systems.
• 153° ultra-wide diagonal FOV for extensive scene coverage.
• F1.8 aperture supports bright imaging in challenging lighting conditions.
• Compact M12X0.5 mount for space-constrained camera modules.
• 2.1mm fixed focal length provides consistent ultra-wide-angle imaging.

M12 Ultra Wide Angle Lens Applications

This ultra-wide-angle M12 lens is particularly suitable for compact camera systems where the camera must capture a large area from a short installation distance. Its 2.1mm focal length and 130° horizontal field of view allow a single camera to cover a broad scene, while the F1.8 aperture helps maintain useful image brightness in indoor or moderately low-light environments.

Core Application Scenarios

• Compact indoor security cameras: Suitable for small security camera modules installed in rooms, entrances, corridors, retail spaces, and other areas where broad coverage is more important than long-distance observation.
• Smart home and IoT cameras: The compact M12 configuration is suitable for space-limited smart cameras that need to monitor a large area without using a physically large lens assembly.
• Robotics and compact vision devices: The wide field of view can help compact robotic or autonomous devices observe nearby surroundings, especially where the camera operates at relatively short distances.
• Embedded industrial imaging: Suitable for compact inspection or monitoring equipment requiring broad scene coverage within a confined mechanical structure.
• Close-range monitoring systems: With a 0.2m minimum object distance, the lens can be considered for applications that need wide-area observation at relatively short working distances.

Compatible Devices

The lens is designed around a 1/3.2″ image format and M12X0.5 interface, making it suitable for compact camera modules using compatible CMOS sensors. Typical equipment can include smart security cameras, indoor monitoring modules, IoT cameras, compact robotic vision devices, embedded industrial cameras, and short-range wide-area imaging systems. For sensor matching and image-circle considerations, the Sensor Guide can help engineers evaluate sensor compatibility before selecting the lens.

Is applications where field-of-view coverage needs to be verified against sensor dimensions and working distance, engineers can use the FOV Calculator to assist with lens selection.

For compact vision systems, this lens can also be evaluated alongside TOWIN’s M12 Lenses and the dedicated M12 Lens solution to identify alternative focal lengths and optical configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 2.1mm M12 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal length, ultra-wide-angle M12 lens designed for compact imaging systems. Its M12X0.5 mount and 2.1mm focal length make it suitable for camera modules requiring very broad scene coverage.

Q: What is the field of view of this M12 lens?
A: The lens provides a 153° diagonal field of view, 130° horizontal field of view, and 99° vertical field of view, allowing it to capture a very broad scene from a relatively short distance.

Q: What sensor size is compatible with this lens?
A: The specified image format is 1/3.2″. Camera designers should verify the actual CMOS sensor dimensions and image circle during system integration to ensure full image coverage.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: This lens is better positioned as an ultra-wide-angle lens rather than a dedicated fisheye lens. Although it provides a very wide 153° diagonal FOV, its specified TV distortion is below -12%.

Q: Does the lens have a fixed aperture and focus?
A: Yes. The lens uses a fixed iris with an F1.8 aperture and manual focus. The focal length and zoom configuration are fixed at 2.1mm.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this M12 lens for a specific camera module?
A: TOWIN can evaluate optical requirements such as sensor format, focal length, field of view, mechanical dimensions, and application conditions for customized lens development. For specific requirements, engineers can submit their specifications through the Contact TOWIN page.
