Wide Angle Lens – CCL13030MPFR

CCL13030MPFR Wide Angle M12 S-mount 3mm board lens car recorder AR0330 3MP with IR filter

3mm 3MP M12 Wide Angle Lens with 150° Field of View

This 3mm 3MP M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact imaging devices that require an exceptionally broad field of view in a small optical package. With a 150° diagonal FOV, M12X0.5 mount, 0.1m minimum object distance, and fixed F2.4 aperture, it provides a practical solution for wide-area monitoring and space-constrained camera systems.

Product Core Highlights

• 150° ultra-wide diagonal FOV for broad scene coverage
• 3MP resolution for detailed compact-camera imaging
• M12X0.5 mount for space-constrained camera designs
• 3mm fixed focal length for consistent wide-angle imaging
• 0.1m M.O.D. for close-range monitoring applications

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

This 3mm M12 wide angle lens is particularly suitable for compact camera systems where a conventional narrow-FOV lens cannot capture enough of the surrounding scene. Its 150° diagonal field of view allows a single camera to cover a broad area, making it useful for small security cameras, smart monitoring devices, indoor observation cameras, compact IoT imaging equipment, and other embedded vision products where installation space is limited.

The short 3mm focal length is well suited to applications that prioritize scene coverage over long-distance magnification. The 0.1m minimum object distance also makes the lens practical for relatively close-range imaging, such as compact monitoring modules positioned near entrances, equipment, corridors, or other confined areas. The fixed F2.4 aperture provides a consistent optical configuration for camera manufacturers developing standardized imaging modules.

For developers working with compact camera platforms, the M12 Lenses portfolio provides additional optical options for different focal lengths, sensor formats, and field-of-view requirements. This lens can also be considered for applications covered by TOWIN’s Smart Security solutions when a wide viewing angle is a primary design requirement.

Compatible Devices

• Compact smart security cameras
• Indoor monitoring camera modules
• Smart home IoT cameras
• Wide-angle embedded camera modules
• Compact observation cameras
• Door and entrance monitoring devices
• Space-constrained vision systems
• Small-format digital imaging equipment

For system designers selecting a lens according to sensor format and field of view, the Sensor Guide can help with sensor compatibility considerations, while the FOV Calculator can be used to estimate the field of view required for a specific imaging distance and coverage area.

Because this lens has relatively high wide-angle distortion, it is better suited to applications where broad scene coverage is more important than geometrically accurate image reproduction. Engineers who need to evaluate distortion requirements can refer to TOWIN’s Distortion Guide before selecting an optical configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?
A: This is a 3mm fixed focal M12 wide angle lens with a 3MP resolution rating and a 150° diagonal field of view.

Q: What is the field of view of this M12 lens?
A: When used with the AR0330 sensor, the lens provides a 150° diagonal, 108° horizontal, and 67° vertical field of view.

Q: What sensor size is this lens designed for?
A: The lens is designed for a 1/3″ image format and is specified with the AR0330 sensor for its stated FOV performance.

Q: Is this lens a fixed focal lens?
A: Yes. The focal length is fixed at 3mm, and the zoom specification is also fixed, making it suitable for camera systems that require a consistent field of view.

Q: Is this lens suitable for wide-angle monitoring?
A: Yes. Its 150° diagonal field of view makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring broad scene coverage from a compact camera position.

Q: Is this a low-distortion lens?
A: No. The specified distortion is -39%, so the lens should be selected for applications where wide coverage is more important than highly accurate geometric reproduction.

Q: What mount does this lens use?
A: The lens uses an M12X0.5 mount, making it suitable for compact camera modules and other small-form-factor imaging systems.

Q: Can TOWIN provide a customized lens solution?
A: TOWIN can evaluate optical requirements such as focal length, field of view, sensor format, mounting configuration, and application conditions. For a customized requirement, contact TOWIN with your camera and imaging specifications.
