Wide Angle Lens – CCL14021MPF

CCL14021MPF Low distortion wide angle 72° M8 mount lens 1/4″ HD MP for OV9712 vehicle car recorder

2.1mm M8 Wide Angle Lens

• This compact M8 wide angle lens features a 2.1mm fixed focal length, 90° diagonal field of view, and less than 1% distortion for space-constrained imaging systems. With a 1/4″ image format, megapixel resolution, and an ultra-short 10.47mm TTL, it is designed for compact cameras and embedded vision devices requiring wide coverage without sacrificing image geometry.
• The M8 miniature lens combines a small mechanical footprint with a 0.2m minimum object distance, making it suitable for close-range monitoring and compact imaging applications where installation space is limited.

Product Core Highlights

• Ultra-compact M8 × 0.5 mount for space-constrained camera designs.
• 2.1mm fixed focal length provides a broad viewing range.
• 90° diagonal FOV for wide-area image coverage.
• Less than 1% distortion supports more natural image geometry.
• 10.47mm TTL enables integration into compact imaging modules.

Wide Angle Lens Applications

• Compact Smart Security Cameras: The 90° diagonal field of view helps cover a broad area from a small camera enclosure, making this wide angle lens suitable for compact indoor security cameras, small monitoring modules, and embedded surveillance devices where installation space is restricted. The <1% distortion specification helps maintain more natural-looking scenes compared with highly distorted ultra-wide optics.
• Smart Doorbells and Access Monitoring: The 2.1mm focal length and 0.2m M.O.D. make this lens suitable for close-range imaging around residential doorbells, access panels, compact intercoms, and entrance monitoring devices. Its short 10.47mm TTL is particularly useful for slim camera housings where lens height and optical stack length need to be minimized.
• Compact Embedded Vision Devices: The M8 × 0.5 interface and miniature optical construction make the lens suitable for embedded cameras integrated into small electronic devices, IoT imaging modules, compact inspection units, and space-limited monitoring equipment. The fixed focal length and fixed iris simplify optical integration for applications operating under relatively consistent imaging conditions.
• Short-Range Industrial Monitoring: For compact equipment monitoring where the camera needs to observe a relatively broad area from a short distance, this low distortion lens can provide useful coverage while maintaining controlled image geometry. It can be integrated into compact vision modules where a full-size C-Mount or CS-Mount lens would be unnecessarily large.
• Compatible Devices: This lens is suitable for compact 1/4″ CMOS camera modules, embedded vision cameras, smart doorbells, small security cameras, IoT imaging devices, access-control cameras, and other miniature imaging equipment using an M8 × 0.5 lens interface. For applications requiring different sensor formats or optical specifications, M8/M7/M6/M5/M3.5 Small Mount Lenses provide additional miniature lens options.

Lens Selection & Optical Integration

• Choosing the correct sensor format is important for achieving the intended field of view. Since this lens is designed for a 1/4″ image format, engineers should confirm sensor compatibility before integrating the lens into a camera module. TOWIN’s Sensor Guide provides additional information about matching sensors and lenses.
• The 90° diagonal FOV makes this lens suitable for wide-area imaging from a compact installation position. Engineers can use the FOV Calculator to evaluate field coverage and determine whether the 2.1mm focal length meets the requirements of a specific imaging distance.
• With distortion below 1%, this lens is suitable for applications where wide coverage and controlled image geometry are both important. For a deeper understanding of how distortion affects imaging performance, refer to TOWIN’s Distortion Guide.
• For projects requiring a different focal length, sensor format, field of view, or mechanical configuration, TOWIN can evaluate customized optical requirements. Explore the Lens Selection Guide or contact TOWIN to discuss your application requirements.
