Wide Angle Lens – S02512713025F

S02512713025F is 8-Megapixel F2.5 High-Resolution Ultra wide-angle lens for Detail Capture, 1/2.7″ 2.5mm High Magnification M12/S-Mount lens.

2.5mm 8MP M12 Fisheye Wide Angle Lens

This 2.5mm 8MP M12 Fisheye Wide Angle Lens is designed for compact camera systems that require an exceptionally wide field of view and high-resolution imaging. With a 169° diagonal FOV, 130° horizontal FOV, 95° vertical FOV, and M12×0.5 mount, it provides broad scene coverage for panoramic surveillance, embedded vision, and compact wide-angle imaging systems.

Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

• 169° Ultra-Wide FOV: Captures an exceptionally broad scene with 130° horizontal coverage.
• 8MP High Resolution: Provides detailed imaging for demanding compact camera applications.
• 2.5mm Focal Length: Delivers extensive scene coverage from a compact optical configuration.
• M12×0.5 Mount: Supports integration into compact embedded camera modules and space-constrained devices.
• 7G + IRCF Optical Structure: Combines a multi-element optical design with an integrated IR-cut filter component.

The combination of 8MP resolution and ultra-wide-angle coverage makes this lens suitable for applications where maximizing the visible scene is more important than maintaining rectilinear geometry. Engineers can use the FOV Calculator to evaluate scene coverage based on sensor size, focal length, and installation distance.

Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.5mm M12 fisheye lens is optimized for imaging scenarios where a conventional wide-angle lens cannot provide sufficient coverage. Its 169° diagonal field of view allows a compact camera to capture a very broad surrounding area, making it particularly valuable for panoramic monitoring, room overview cameras, and embedded vision devices with limited installation space.

In indoor panoramic surveillance, the lens can help monitor large rooms, corridors, entrances, retail areas, and other spaces where minimizing blind spots is important. The 8MP resolution provides additional image detail for reviewing captured scenes, while the compact M12 format simplifies integration into small camera housings.

The lens can also be considered for robotic visual awareness and compact IoT imaging systems, where a wide visual envelope is useful for detecting objects or activity around a device. For applications requiring more precise optical matching, the Lens Selection Guide can help engineers evaluate focal length, sensor format, FOV, and installation requirements.

Compatible Device List

• Panoramic Security Cameras: Suitable for indoor camera modules requiring extremely broad scene coverage from a single imaging unit.
• Retail Monitoring Cameras: Useful for overhead or compact cameras monitoring wide areas such as stores, entrances, and checkout zones.
• Smart Home Cameras: The ultra-wide FOV allows compact cameras to observe a larger portion of a room without mechanical pan or tilt.
• Embedded IoT Vision Devices: The M12×0.5 interface supports integration into compact smart devices and embedded camera assemblies.
• Robotics Vision Modules: Suitable for visual awareness systems that benefit from broad environmental coverage around a mobile or stationary robot.
• Compact Panoramic Imaging Systems: The 2.5mm focal length and 169° diagonal FOV make the lens suitable for applications requiring near-panoramic scene capture.

Designed for ultra-wide panoramic surveillance, compact IoT imaging, and broad-area embedded vision applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 2.5mm M12 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal length M12 fisheye and ultra-wide-angle lens designed to provide very broad scene coverage with a 169° diagonal field of view.

Q: What is the field of view of this 8MP M12 fisheye lens?
A: When used with a 1/2.7″ sensor format, the lens provides a 169° diagonal FOV, 130° horizontal FOV, and 95° vertical FOV.

Q: What sensor size is specified for this lens?
A: The specified FOV is based on a 1/2.7″ sensor, while the lens has a maximum image circle specification of Φ6.9mm.

Q: Is this lens a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified TV distortion is below -29%, which is consistent with the strong wide-angle optical design. It should not be positioned as a low distortion lens.

Q: Is the lens IR corrected?
A: The specification includes an IRCF, indicating an integrated IR-cut filter component. However, this does not by itself confirm IR-corrected optical performance.

Q: Does this 2.5mm lens provide optical zoom?
A: No. It uses a fixed 2.5mm focal length and fixed zoom configuration, so it does not provide variable optical zoom.

Q: What applications benefit from a 169° field of view?
A: Applications such as panoramic surveillance, room monitoring, retail observation, smart home cameras, robotics visual awareness, and compact embedded vision can benefit from its extremely broad viewing angle.

Q: How can I determine whether this lens provides enough coverage for my camera system?
A: The required FOV depends on the sensor dimensions, focal length, and camera installation distance. The FOV Calculator can be used to estimate the required viewing coverage.

Optical Selection & Related Resources

When selecting an ultra-wide-angle or fisheye lens, engineers should consider not only focal length and resolution but also sensor format, image circle, field of view, and distortion characteristics. The Lens Basics section provides useful background on these optical parameters, while the Distortion Guide explains why strong wide-angle designs naturally introduce greater geometric distortion.
