Wide Angle Lens – CCL14013

CCL14013 is 1/4″ 1.3mm Wide Angle Lens with Low Dispersion, Low F-number S-Mount Lens (F2.0), VGA resolution CCTV lens, surveillance lens.

1.3mm M12 Wide Angle Lens

This 1.3mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact camera systems that require broad scene coverage without using a fisheye optical design. With a 140° diagonal FOV, F2.0 aperture, and 1/4″ image format, it provides a practical solution for close-range wide-area imaging in space-constrained camera modules.

Featuring an M12×0.5 mount, 2.50mm BFL, 12.59mm TTL, and 0.2m minimum object distance, this fixed-focal lens is well suited for embedded cameras and compact monitoring devices where a wide viewing angle and short installation distance are important.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

• 140° diagonal FOV provides broad scene coverage for compact imaging systems.
• 1.3mm focal length supports wide-area close-range imaging without a fisheye classification.
• F2.0 aperture provides a practical light-gathering configuration for embedded cameras.
• 0.2m M.O.D. supports close-range imaging where the camera is installed near the monitored scene.
• Compact 12.59mm TTL helps accommodate space-constrained camera module designs.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 1.3mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for compact imaging applications where a conventional narrow-angle lens cannot provide enough scene coverage, but a fisheye lens is not required. Its 140° diagonal FOV allows a single camera module to monitor a broad nearby area while maintaining a compact optical configuration.

A suitable application is close-range indoor monitoring, particularly in small rooms, entrances, equipment enclosures, and compact IoT devices. The combination of a 1.3mm focal length and 0.2m M.O.D. makes the lens suitable for situations where the camera needs to observe a nearby scene from a relatively short installation distance.

The lens can also be used in compact embedded vision modules installed in smart devices, access equipment, and small monitoring systems. Its M12×0.5 mount provides a familiar mechanical interface for miniature camera assemblies, while the 12.59mm TTL helps designers manage limited internal installation space.

For mobile and robotic devices, the wide FOV can provide broad close-range environmental coverage, making it useful for applications where the camera needs to observe nearby objects or surroundings rather than identify distant fine details.

The fixed iris and fixed zoom configuration also makes the lens appropriate for dedicated camera products where the optical setup is established during system integration.

Designed for close-range wide-area monitoring, compact embedded cameras, and space-constrained imaging applications.
