Wide Angle Lens – CCL125032MPF

CCL125032MPF-3.2mm Wide angle 3 Megapixel lens, 1/2.5″ Low F-number S-Mount Lens (F1.8), for security or general imaging applications.

3.2mm M12 Wide Angle Lens

This 3.2mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact camera systems requiring an exceptionally broad field of view. With a 137° diagonal FOV, 3MP resolution, F1.8 aperture, and 0.1m minimum object distance, it provides wide-area imaging for automotive cameras, compact CCTV systems, embedded vision, and industrial monitoring applications.

Its M12×0.5 mount, fixed focal length, and compact Φ14 × 14.2mm design make this wide angle lens easy to integrate into space-constrained camera modules.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

• 137° Ultra-Wide FOV: Captures a broad scene with 3.2mm focal length.
• F1.8 Aperture: Provides strong light-gathering capability for wide-area imaging.
• Compact M12 Design: Φ14 × 14.2mm housing supports space-constrained camera modules.
• Close-Focus Capability: 0.1m M.O.D. enables imaging at relatively short working distances.
• 3MP Resolution: Suitable for compact cameras requiring wide scene coverage and practical image detail.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 3.2mm M12 wide angle lens is optimized for applications where maximizing scene coverage is more important than maintaining low geometric distortion. Its 137° diagonal FOV allows a single compact camera to capture a large surrounding area, making it particularly suitable for vehicle-mounted cameras, compact surveillance modules, embedded cameras, and space-limited industrial monitoring systems.

For automotive applications, the wide viewing angle can help camera modules monitor areas around a vehicle, such as side-facing or short-range surround-view positions. In compact CCTV equipment, the lens can cover entrances, corridors, small rooms, retail areas, and other locations where broad scene visibility is required.

The F1.8 aperture also provides useful light-gathering performance for indoor monitoring and other environments with changing illumination. For embedded vision designers, the short 0.1m M.O.D. provides additional flexibility when the camera is installed close to the target.

Designed for wide-area automotive camera, compact CCTV, and embedded vision applications.

Compatible Device List
