Wide Angle Lens – CCL1230365MPF

CCL1230365MPF Wide Angle M12 S-mount 3.6mm board lens 1/2.3″ for MT9F002 HD 5MP HFOV 101° F2.0

3.65mm 5MP M12 Wide Angle Lens

This 3.65mm 5MP M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a broad field of view within a small installation space. With a 132° diagonal FOV, F1.8 fixed aperture, and 1/2.3″ image format, it provides wide-area image coverage for applications such as compact security cameras, smart monitoring devices, and embedded vision systems. The M12X0.5 mount and 15.91mm TTL support flexible integration into space-constrained camera modules.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

• 132° diagonal wide-angle FOV for broad scene coverage
• 5MP resolution for detailed imaging
• F1.8 fixed aperture for efficient light transmission
• Compact M12X0.5 mount for embedded camera integration
• 6G optical construction with IR cut for compact imaging modules

Wide Angle Lens Applications

This fixed focal M12 wide angle lens is particularly suitable for compact camera systems where a broad viewing area is more important than long-distance magnification. Its 3.65mm focal length and 132° diagonal field of view allow a single camera to capture a relatively large scene from a short installation distance, making it suitable for applications where camera size and coverage need to be balanced.

Core Application Scenarios

• Compact security cameras: Suitable for indoor monitoring cameras installed in rooms, entrances, corridors, small retail spaces, and other areas where a wide viewing angle can reduce blind spots.
• Smart home monitoring devices: The compact M12 configuration can be integrated into embedded smart cameras and monitoring modules where installation space is limited.
• Door and entrance monitoring: The 101° horizontal FOV provides broad horizontal coverage for monitoring entrances, access areas, and nearby activity.
• Embedded vision systems: The 5MP resolution and compact mechanical configuration make the lens suitable for embedded imaging equipment requiring wide-area scene acquisition.
• Small-area industrial monitoring: The lens can be considered for compact inspection or monitoring devices that require a wide perspective at relatively short working distances.

Compatible Devices

The lens is designed for camera modules using 1/2.3″ CMOS sensors with an M12X0.5 lens interface, including compact security camera modules, smart monitoring cameras, embedded vision devices, indoor surveillance systems, and other small-form-factor imaging equipment. Its 0.3m minimum object distance makes it suitable for relatively close-range scene capture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?
A: This is a fixed focal M12 wide angle lens with a 3.65mm focal length, 5MP resolution, and 132° diagonal field of view.

Q: What sensor size is compatible with this M12 lens?
A: The lens is designed for a 1/2.3″ image format and is suitable for camera modules using compatible 1/2.3″ CMOS sensors.

Q: What is the field of view of the lens?
A: The lens provides a 132° diagonal FOV, 101° horizontal FOV, and 74° vertical FOV.

Q: Is this a fisheye lens?
A: No. This lens is classified as a wide angle lens rather than a fisheye lens. Its 132° diagonal field of view provides broad scene coverage, while the specified distortion is -31%.

Q: Is this lens a low distortion lens?
A: No. With a specified distortion of -31%, this lens should not be categorized as a low distortion lens. It is intended for applications where wide-angle coverage is more important than highly corrected image geometry.

Q: Is the lens suitable for compact security cameras?
A: Yes. Its 3.65mm focal length, wide FOV, 5MP resolution, and compact M12X0.5 interface make it suitable for many compact security and monitoring camera modules.

Q: What does the 6G + IR cut construction mean?
A: The lens uses a 6-element optical construction and incorporates an IR cut component to help control infrared wavelengths in visible-light imaging applications.

Q: Can TOWIN customize this M12 lens?
A: TOWIN can evaluate customization requirements such as focal length, field of view, optical performance, mechanical dimensions, and camera-module compatibility based on project requirements. For a specific optical requirement, please contact TOWIN for engineering evaluation.
