Wide Angle Lens – S02112810822F

S02112810822F is 2.1mm 8-megapixel wide angle CCTV lens, 1/2.8″ M12/S-mount , low distortion lens, suitable for surveillance applications.

2.1mm 8MP M12 Wide Angle Low Distortion Lens

This 2.1mm 8MP M12 lens is designed for compact imaging systems that require a wide field of view with controlled geometric distortion. With a 120° diagonal FOV, 110° horizontal FOV, 1/2.8″ image format, and < -4% TV distortion, it provides broad scene coverage while maintaining practical image geometry for embedded and industrial vision applications.

The fixed F2.2 aperture, 0.1m minimum object distance, and M12x0.5 mount make this wide angle lens easy to integrate into compact cameras, embedded vision modules, and space-constrained imaging equipment.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Highlights

• 120° diagonal FOV provides broad coverage from a compact lens.
• < -4% TV distortion helps maintain controlled image geometry.
• 2.1mm fixed focal length is ideal for close-range wide-area imaging.
• M12x0.5 compact mount simplifies integration into embedded camera designs.

2.1mm 8MP M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.1mm M12 wide angle lens is designed for imaging systems where camera space is limited but a large viewing area is required. Its combination of 8MP resolution, wide FOV, and controlled distortion makes it suitable for compact vision devices that need to capture people, objects, or surrounding areas without using a larger C-Mount optical assembly.

For compact machine vision and embedded inspection equipment, the 0.1m M.O.D. allows the camera to work at relatively short distances while the 110° horizontal FOV covers a broad area. This configuration can be useful for robotic perception modules, compact inspection cameras, smart devices, and edge-AI vision systems where both physical size and image coverage are important.

The lens can also be integrated into robotics and mobile vision platforms where the camera must observe a relatively large area from a short working distance. Controlled TV distortion helps preserve more predictable image geometry than an extreme fisheye design, which can be beneficial when captured images are subsequently processed by computer vision algorithms.

Designed for compact wide-angle machine vision, embedded AI imaging, and short-distance visual monitoring applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 2.1mm M12 lens?
A: This fixed‑focal M12 lens features wide FOV and controlled distortion, with key specs: 2.1 mm focal length, 8MP resolution, 1/2.8″ format and M12×0.5 mount.

Q: What is the field of view of this M12 lens?
A: With the specified IMX415 sensor, the lens provides a 120° diagonal FOV, 110° horizontal FOV, and 74° vertical FOV.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: No. It delivers 120° diagonal FOV with TV distortion below ‑4%. Classify it as a wide‑angle low‑distortion lens instead of a fisheye lens.

Q: What sensor size is this lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/2.8″ image format. The listed FOV values are based specifically on the IMX415 sensor.

Q: What is the advantage of the 2.1mm focal length?
A: Its short 2.1 mm focal length delivers a wide viewing angle for large‑scene capture at short distances, ideal for constrained installation space or limited working‑distance scenarios.

Q: Can this lens be used for machine vision applications?
A: Yes. Its 8MP resolution, wide FOV, low‑distortion profile and compact M12 mount suit embedded and compact machine vision systems. Base final selection on sensor, working distance, required FOV and inspection accuracy.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.1m, or 100mm. This supports relatively close-range imaging applications where a wide scene needs to be captured.

Q: How can I select the appropriate focal length for my camera system?
A: Focal length should be selected according to sensor size, working distance, and required field of view. Towin’s FOV Calculator and Focal Length Calculator can help engineers estimate the required optical configuration.
