Wide Angle Lens – S02512713018

S02512713018 is 1/2.7″ Ultra wide angle CCTV lens, 160° Low F-number M12/S-Mount Lens (F1.8), 3-Megapixel resolution 2.5mm surveillance lens.

3MP 2.5mm M12 Wide Angle Lens for Compact Imaging

This 3MP 2.5mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact camera modules that require a broad field of view in space-limited installations. With up to 160° diagonal FOV on the OV2710 sensor, F1.8 aperture, and compatibility with both OV2710 and IMX462, it provides extensive scene coverage for surveillance, embedded vision, robotics, and other wide-area imaging applications.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

1. Ultra-Wide Scene Coverage

The 2.5mm focal length provides an extensive field of view, reaching 160° diagonal and 130° horizontal FOV with the OV2710 sensor. This makes the lens suitable for applications where capturing a large scene from a short working distance is more important than maintaining low geometric distortion.

For projects requiring different wide-angle configurations, explore TOWIN’s Wide Angle Lenses for additional focal length and sensor options.

2. Compatibility with OV2710 and IMX462

The lens provides dedicated FOV specifications for both OV2710 and IMX462 sensors, giving camera designers greater flexibility when selecting the image sensor for a compact vision module.

The OV2710 configuration reaches 160° diagonal FOV, while the IMX462 configuration provides 153° diagonal FOV. This makes the lens suitable for wide-area scene monitoring with compatible 1/2.7″ sensor-based camera designs.

3. F1.8 Aperture for Wide-Area Imaging

With an F1.8 aperture, the lens is designed to provide a relatively large optical aperture for compact wide-angle camera systems. This is useful when maintaining sufficient image brightness is important in indoor monitoring, embedded vision, and other variable-light environments.

4. Compact M12 × 0.5 Integration

The M12 × 0.5 mount makes the lens suitable for compact camera modules and space-constrained optical assemblies. Its 5.8mm BFL and 22.5mm TTL support integration into small embedded imaging systems.

5. Near-Field Wide-Angle Coverage

A 0.2m minimum object distance supports relatively close-range imaging, making this lens useful when cameras need to capture a broad area from a nearby installation position.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Wide-Area Indoor Monitoring

The combination of 2.5mm focal length and up to 160° diagonal FOV allows a single camera to cover a large nearby scene. It can be considered for indoor monitoring points where installation space is limited and broad scene coverage is required.

Typical applications include:

• Indoor surveillance cameras
• Wide-area security monitoring
• Compact monitoring modules
• Smart building cameras
• Indoor environmental monitoring

Compact Embedded Vision

The M12 × 0.5 mount, short focal length, and compact optical configuration make this lens suitable for embedded camera designs where the available installation space is limited.

Compatible devices may include:

• Embedded camera modules
• IoT vision devices
• Compact monitoring cameras
• Smart home cameras
• Edge vision devices
• Small robotic camera modules

Designed for compact wide-angle imaging applications where broad scene coverage is required within a limited installation space.

Robotics & Environmental Perception

The wide field of view can help robotic camera systems capture a larger portion of the surrounding environment from a relatively close distance. This makes the lens suitable for selected environmental perception, navigation assistance, and obstacle-awareness applications where geometric precision is not the primary requirement.

For robotics-specific optical requirements, see TOWIN’s Robotics Vision Solutions.

Wide-Angle CCTV Imaging

This lens can also be used in selected CCTV camera designs where broad scene coverage is prioritized. Its 2.5mm focal length and wide FOV are particularly useful for monitoring relatively large areas from a fixed camera position.

However, the specified distortion of <-78% means this lens is better suited to scene coverage and situational awareness than precision measurement or applications requiring highly accurate image geometry.

Compatible Devices

• 1/2.7″ camera modules
• OV2710-based cameras
• IMX462-based cameras
• M12 camera modules
• Compact CCTV cameras
• Embedded vision systems
• Robotics camera modules
• IoT imaging devices
• Smart security cameras

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the field of view of this 2.5mm M12 wide angle lens?
A: With an OV2710 sensor, the lens provides 160° diagonal, 130° horizontal, and 70° vertical FOV. With IMX462, it provides 153° diagonal, 125° horizontal, and 67° vertical FOV.

Q: Which sensors are compatible with this M12 lens?
A: The listed optical configurations are designed for OV2710 and IMX462 sensors, with specific FOV values provided for each sensor.

Q: Is this lens suitable for CCTV cameras?
A: Yes, it can be considered for wide-angle CCTV applications where broad scene coverage is the priority. Its high specified distortion makes it less suitable for precision image measurement.

Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified distortion is below -78%, so this lens should not be positioned as a low distortion lens. It is designed primarily for wide-area scene coverage.

Q: What is the advantage of the F1.8 aperture?
A: The F1.8 aperture provides a relatively large optical aperture for a compact wide-angle lens, supporting applications where sufficient image brightness is important.

Q: What does the M12 × 0.5 mount mean?
A: M12 × 0.5 refers to the lens mounting thread, making the lens compatible with camera modules designed for this M12 mounting interface.

Q: Is this lens suitable for machine vision?
A: It can be used for selected machine vision perception tasks that require broad environmental coverage, but its high distortion makes it unsuitable for applications that depend on precise geometric measurement.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this wide angle lens?
A: TOWIN can evaluate optical customization requirements such as focal length, sensor compatibility, field of view, mounting configuration, and other project-specific parameters. Contact TOWIN to discuss your application requirements.
