2.0mm M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.0mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for camera systems that need to capture a very broad scene from a compact installation point. With a 133° diagonal and 122° horizontal field of view when paired with the IMX415, it can cover a large surrounding area while maintaining the 8MP imaging capability of the sensor.

The lens is particularly suitable for compact high-resolution security cameras, embedded monitoring modules, and edge vision devices where the camera needs to observe a broad area without using multiple conventional focal-length lenses. The 2.0mm focal length makes it appropriate for applications where scene coverage takes priority over narrow-angle magnification.

The 0.2m M.O.D. also allows relatively close-range installation, making the lens suitable for compact indoor monitoring equipment, equipment-area observation, and other applications where the camera may be positioned close to the monitored scene.

For systems using the Sony IMX415 or similar 1/2.8″ high-resolution sensors, engineers should consider the relationship between sensor format, focal length, and target coverage when selecting the final optical configuration. The Sensor Guide provides additional information for sensor and lens matching.

Compatible Device List

• 8MP Security Cameras: Suitable for compact high-resolution CCTV camera modules based on 1/2.8″ sensors such as the Sony IMX415.
• Embedded Vision Cameras: The M12 × 0.5 interface supports integration into compact camera assemblies.
• Wide-Area Monitoring Devices: The 133° diagonal FOV enables broad scene observation from a relatively compact camera position.
• Industrial Monitoring Systems: Suitable for monitoring equipment areas, workspaces, and other scenes where broad visual coverage is required.
• Edge AI Vision Devices: The 8MP optical configuration can provide high-resolution image input for embedded image-processing systems.
• OEM Camera Modules: The fixed 2.0mm configuration is suitable for dedicated camera designs where the focal length and FOV are predetermined.

For applications where the required image coverage depends strongly on camera position and target dimensions, the FOV Calculator can be used to estimate the expected field of view.

Designed for high-resolution wide-area security monitoring and compact embedded vision applications.

Optical Performance & Design Considerations

The combination of a 2.0mm focal length and 1/2.8″ IMX415 sensor produces a 133° diagonal field of view and 122° horizontal field of view. This makes the lens suitable for applications requiring extensive scene coverage from a small camera module.

The lens provides 8MP resolution, allowing it to take advantage of high-resolution image sensors where detailed scene information is important. Its F2.4 aperture and fixed iris provide a consistent optical configuration for dedicated camera systems.

The specified TV distortion is <6.9%. This should be considered when selecting the lens for applications requiring very wide coverage. The distortion level is materially different from the <0.2% specification of a dedicated low-distortion lens, so this product should be positioned primarily around wide-angle coverage and high-resolution imaging, rather than geometric-accuracy applications.

For engineers evaluating distortion requirements, the Distortion Guide provides additional information on how distortion affects image geometry and lens selection.

The 2.0mm focal length can also be compared with other fixed focal-length options through the Focal Length Calculator when determining the appropriate optical configuration for a specific camera installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensor is this 2.0mm M12 lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for a maximum Φ6.8 image format and is specifically listed with FOV data for the 1/2.8″ Sony IMX415 sensor.

Q: What is the field of view of the 2.0mm M12 lens?
A: With the IMX415 sensor, the specified FOV is 133° diagonal, 122° horizontal, and 80° vertical.

Q: Is this lens suitable for 8MP cameras?
A: Yes. The lens is specified with 8MP resolution and is designed around the 1/2.8″ IMX415 sensor configuration.

Q: Is this 2.0mm lens a wide angle lens?
A: Yes. Its 133° diagonal and 122° horizontal FOV provide very broad scene coverage, making it suitable for wide-angle imaging applications.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: The supplied specification does not identify it as a fisheye lens. Although its 133° FOV is very wide, FOV alone is not sufficient to classify an optical design as fisheye.

Q: What is the distortion of this M12 lens?
A: The specified TV distortion is below 6.9%. This makes the lens more appropriate for wide-area coverage than applications requiring extremely low geometric distortion.

Q: What mount does this lens use?
A: The lens uses an M12 × 0.5 mount, a common compact interface for embedded camera modules and miniature vision systems.

Q: Does this lens include an IR-cut filter?
A: No. The supplied specification states Without filter, so no filter is specified as part of the lens construction.
