Wide Angle Lens – CCL127017MP

CCL127017MP Low distortion wide angle 1/2.7″ 110° M12 mount lens HD 5MP rectilinear scanning

1.7mm 3MP M12 Wide Angle Lens

This 1.7mm 3MP M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require an exceptionally broad field of view within a small optical package. Featuring a 125° diagonal FOV, 110° horizontal FOV, and 95° vertical FOV, it provides extensive scene coverage while maintaining distortion below 3%. The F2.4 fixed aperture supports consistent optical performance, while the M12 × 0.5 mount enables integration with a wide range of compact camera modules. With a 4G2P optical construction, 4mm B.F.L., and 16.2mm T.T.L., this lens is well suited for embedded cameras, smart monitoring devices, compact vision systems, and space-constrained imaging equipment. Designed for wide-angle embedded imaging applications, this fixed focal M12 lens provides a practical balance between broad coverage, compact integration, and 3MP image resolution.

Product Core Highlights

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

Wide-Area Embedded Imaging

The 125° diagonal FOV makes this lens suitable for compact cameras that need to monitor a large area from a relatively short distance. It can be integrated into embedded monitoring modules, smart cameras, and compact electronic devices where a conventional focal length cannot provide sufficient coverage.

Smart Security & Monitoring

The combination of 1.7mm focal length and wide FOV can help security cameras capture more of the surrounding environment from a fixed installation point. It is suitable for compact monitoring devices, indoor observation cameras, and embedded security modules where broad coverage is more important than long-distance viewing.

Robotics & Compact Vision Systems

A wide-angle lens can be useful when a compact vision device needs to observe a large operating area without using multiple cameras. This 1.7mm M12 lens can be considered for robotic monitoring modules, compact inspection cameras, and embedded vision devices requiring a broad perspective.

See the Robotics Vision Lens Solutions for additional vision-system applications.

Space-Constrained Camera Modules

The M12 × 0.5 interface and 16.2mm T.T.L. make this lens appropriate for compact camera architectures where installation space is limited. It can be used with embedded camera modules, smart devices, compact monitoring equipment, and other small-form-factor imaging systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is the 1.7mm 3MP lens?
A: It is a fixed focal M12 wide angle lens with a 1.7mm focal length, M12 × 0.5 mount, and 125° diagonal field of view.

Q: What sensor format is this M12 lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/2.7″ image format and provides 3-megapixel resolution performance.

Q: How wide is the field of view of this lens?
A: The lens provides a 125° diagonal FOV, 110° horizontal FOV, and 95° vertical FOV, making it suitable for wide-area imaging.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: It is better classified as a wide angle lens based on the supplied specifications. Although the FOV is very wide, the specified distortion is below 3%, so it should not automatically be categorized as a conventional fisheye lens.

Q: What is the aperture of this 1.7mm M12 lens?
A: The lens has a fixed F2.4 aperture, providing a consistent optical aperture for the target imaging system.

Q: What does the 4G2P construction mean?
A: 4G2P refers to an optical construction using four glass elements and two plastic elements. The supplied specification identifies the lens construction as 4G2P.

Q: What applications are suitable for this wide angle M12 lens?
A: It is suitable for compact monitoring cameras, embedded imaging modules, smart security devices, robotics vision modules, and other systems requiring a very wide field of view.
