Wide Angle Lens – CCL132026MP

CCL132026MP Low distortion wide angle 1/3.2″ 2.6mm 85° M12 mount lens for MT9D111 car driving recorder

2.6mm M12 Wide Angle Fixed Focal Lens

This 2.6mm M12 lens is a compact wide-angle imaging solution designed for cameras and embedded vision devices that require a broad field of view within a small optical package. With a 1/3.2″ image format, 2MP resolution, and 98° diagonal FOV, the lens provides wide-area image coverage while maintaining a compact Φ14 × 14.36mm mechanical design. Its 85° horizontal and 67° vertical FOV make it suitable for applications where the camera needs to capture a relatively large scene from a limited installation position.

The fixed 2.6mm focal length provides a naturally wide perspective, while the F2.4 aperture supports practical image acquisition in compact camera systems. The M12×0.5 mount enables integration with a wide range of embedded camera modules and compact imaging platforms. With <2.9% distortion, the lens offers controlled geometric distortion for general wide-angle imaging applications.

As a compact M12 Wide Angle Lens, this model is particularly suitable for embedded cameras, compact monitoring equipment, smart devices, and basic machine vision systems where size, field coverage, and straightforward mechanical integration are important. It can also be considered alongside TOWIN’s broader M12 Lens portfolio when selecting an optical solution for space-constrained camera designs.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications & Compatible Devices

Compact Embedded Cameras

The short 2.6mm focal length and 85° horizontal FOV make this lens suitable for compact embedded cameras that need to monitor a relatively broad area without using a large optical assembly. The M12×0.5 mount allows integration with small camera modules used in smart devices, equipment monitoring systems, and embedded imaging platforms.

Compatible devices: Embedded cameras, compact IP camera modules, smart camera modules, and small monitoring cameras.

Wide-Area Monitoring

With a 98° diagonal FOV, the lens can cover a broad scene from a relatively close camera position. Its compact dimensions make it useful where both wide coverage and limited installation space are important.

Compatible devices: Indoor monitoring cameras, compact security cameras, access monitoring devices, and smart monitoring terminals.

Compact Machine Vision Systems

For basic machine vision and inspection systems, the 2.6mm focal length can provide a wider perspective when the camera needs to observe a larger working area. The 2MP resolution is appropriate for general-purpose imaging tasks where extreme pixel density is not the primary requirement.

Compatible devices: Compact machine vision cameras, embedded inspection cameras, barcode/recognition devices, and automation imaging modules.

For more advanced industrial applications, this lens can be evaluated together with TOWIN’s Machine Vision solutions to determine whether its FOV, resolution, and distortion characteristics match the imaging requirement.

Smart Devices & Space-Constrained Imaging

The Φ14 × 14.36mm form factor is well suited to devices where optical space is restricted. The combination of short focal length, M12 mounting, and compact mechanical dimensions allows the lens to be integrated into small imaging products without requiring a large lens assembly.

Compatible devices: Smart terminals, IoT cameras, compact sensing devices, embedded vision modules, and electronic equipment cameras.
