M12 Lens – CCL12802125MP

CCL12802125MP 1/2.8″ 2.1mm ultra-wide angle M12 lens with 156° FOV

2.1mm Ultra-Wide Angle M12 Lens | 156° FOV

This 2.1mm ultra-wide angle M12 lens is designed for compact camera systems that require extensive scene coverage from a 1/2.8″ image format. With a 156° diagonal FOV, 125° horizontal FOV, and 95° vertical FOV, it provides broad visual coverage in applications where a conventional focal length would leave significant areas outside the image.

Designed for ultra-wide-angle camera applications, this fixed focal lens combines a 2.1mm focal length, F2.5 aperture, and M12X0.5 mount in a compact 6G optical construction. Its 0.1m minimum object distance also makes it suitable for close-range imaging where both proximity and wide scene coverage are important.

Product Core Highlights

• 156° ultra-wide FOV — provides extensive diagonal scene coverage for applications requiring a very broad viewing area.
• 125° horizontal FOV — captures a wide lateral scene, making the lens suitable for space-constrained wide-area camera positioning.
• 2.1mm fixed focal length — provides a compact optical solution for ultra-wide imaging requirements.
• F2.5 aperture — offers a balanced aperture configuration for general-purpose wide-angle imaging.
• 0.1m minimum object distance — supports very close-range imaging where broad coverage is required within a limited physical space.

Ultra-Wide Angle M12 Lens Applications

The combination of a 2.1mm focal length and 156° diagonal FOV makes this lens particularly suitable for applications where maximizing scene coverage is more important than achieving a narrow or telephoto perspective. Its 0.1m M.O.D. further supports close-positioned cameras that need to capture a large area from a short distance.

Typical applications include:

• Ultra-wide indoor monitoring cameras
• Smart home camera modules
• IoT imaging devices
• Compact security camera modules
• Robotics and embedded vision devices
• Room and area monitoring
• Entrance and access-area imaging
• Close-range wide-area observation
• Compact panoramic-style imaging systems
• Space-constrained camera installations

The lens is especially useful when the camera must be positioned close to the monitored area but still needs to capture a large portion of the surrounding scene. The fixed iris and fixed focal configuration also provide a straightforward optical design for embedded camera systems with stable imaging conditions.

Compatible Devices

This lens is designed for 1/2.8″ camera sensors with an M12X0.5 lens interface, including compact camera modules, smart monitoring cameras, IoT imaging devices, embedded vision systems, robotics cameras, and other ultra-wide-angle imaging equipment.

When selecting a lens for a particular image sensor, use the Sensor Guide to evaluate sensor-format compatibility. For estimating viewing coverage based on focal length and sensor size, the FOV Calculator is also useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is the 2.1mm M12 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal M12 ultra-wide angle lens with a 2.1mm focal length and 156° diagonal field of view.

Q: What is the field of view of this lens?
A: The lens provides a 156° diagonal FOV, 125° horizontal FOV, and 95° vertical FOV.

Q: What sensor format is this lens designed for?
A: The specified image format is 1/2.8″, making it suitable for compatible 1/2.8″ camera sensors with an M12X0.5 interface.

Q: Is this a fisheye lens?
A: The lens has an extremely wide 156° diagonal FOV, but the supplied specifications do not identify it as a fisheye optical design. It is therefore better positioned as an ultra-wide angle M12 lens.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of the lens?
A: The specified minimum object distance is 0.1m, allowing the lens to be used for relatively close-range wide-area imaging.

Q: Does this lens support optical zoom?
A: No. It is a fixed focal lens with a 2.1mm focal length and does not provide optical zoom.

Q: Is the aperture adjustable?
A: No. The lens uses a fixed iris with an F2.5 aperture.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this ultra-wide M12 lens?
A: TOWIN can evaluate customization requirements based on the target sensor, FOV, focal length, mechanical dimensions, aperture, and intended application.
