1/1.73″ 4.4mm Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 4.4mm wide angle automotive lens is designed for imaging systems where broad scene coverage is more important than maintaining ultra-low geometric distortion. Its 93° horizontal FOV allows a compact camera to capture a relatively large area, while the 8.3MP resolution provides sufficient image detail for object detection, scene awareness, and AI-based visual analysis.

The IP67 waterproof rating and hydrophobic membrane make the lens particularly suitable for equipment exposed to rain, moisture, dust, and changing outdoor conditions. These characteristics can benefit vehicle-mounted cameras, outdoor monitoring modules, smart transportation equipment, and other compact vision devices installed in exposed environments.

The integrated visible and 940nm pass filter also gives this lens a useful role in imaging systems that combine conventional visible-light imaging with near-infrared illumination. This can be relevant to nighttime vehicle vision, outdoor AI cameras, and embedded sensing platforms using 940nm infrared LEDs.

Because the lens has relatively high negative distortion of less than -14.5%, it is better positioned for wide-area scene perception, object detection, and situational awareness than applications requiring highly accurate dimensional measurement. For projects where distortion is a critical selection parameter, engineers can refer to the Distortion Guide before final lens selection.

Designed for wide-area outdoor imaging, vehicle-mounted vision, and visible/940nm near-infrared sensing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor size is this 4.4mm lens designed for?
A: This lens is designed for a 1/1.73″ image format and provides up to 8.3MP resolution according to the supplied specifications.

Q: What is the field of view of this wide angle lens?
A: It provides a 101° diagonal, 93° horizontal, and 57° vertical FOV, providing broad horizontal scene coverage.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: No. Although its diagonal FOV reaches 101°, the supplied specifications do not identify it as a fisheye optical design. It is more appropriately classified as a wide angle lens.

Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified distortion is less than -14.5%, so this lens should not be positioned as a low distortion lens. Its design is better suited to wide-area scene coverage and visual perception.

Q: Is the lens waterproof?
A: Yes. The lens is specified with an IP67 waterproof rating, making it suitable for equipment requiring protection against dust and water exposure.

Q: What is the purpose of the 940nm pass filter?
A: The filter allows visible light and 940nm near-infrared wavelengths to pass, making the lens suitable for camera systems that use 940nm IR illumination in addition to visible-light imaging.

Q: What applications are suitable for this 4.4mm automotive lens?
A: Potential applications include vehicle-mounted cameras, outdoor AI vision, smart transportation equipment, near-infrared imaging modules, and wide-area embedded vision systems.

Q: Can this lens be used for outdoor camera projects?
A: Yes. Its IP67 protection and hydrophobic surface coating make it suitable for outdoor camera designs where resistance to moisture and environmental exposure is required. For an application-specific optical configuration, engineers can contact Towin to discuss project requirements.
