Wide Angle Lens – S02512011013IR

S02512011013IR is Wide angle lens with M14X0.5 mount, 127° diagonal F.O.V. for 1/2″ sensor, 640*480 resolution, and F1.2 aperture for security surveillance.

2.5mm M14 Wide Angle Industrial Lens

This 2.5mm M14 wide angle lens is designed for compact industrial and machine vision systems that require a broad field of view while maintaining a practical working distance. With a 127° diagonal FOV on a 1/2″ format, F1.2 aperture, 0.2m M.O.D., and M14×0.5 mount, it provides a compact optical solution for wide-area imaging and embedded vision applications.

Product Highlights at a Glance

• 127° diagonal FOV on 1/2″ format provides broad scene coverage for compact imaging systems.
• 2.5mm focal length supports wide-area observation where a conventional longer focal length would provide insufficient coverage.
• F1.2 aperture provides a bright optical configuration for demanding compact camera applications.
• 0.2m minimum object distance supports relatively close-range wide-area imaging.
• M14×0.5 mount with 3G + 2ASPG construction provides a compact optical configuration for embedded industrial cameras.

2.5mm M14 Wide Angle Lens Applications

The combination of a 2.5mm focal length and 127° diagonal field of view makes this lens suitable for applications where a large scene needs to be captured from a relatively short installation distance. The 0.2m minimum object distance also makes it practical for close-range monitoring and inspection environments where the camera cannot be positioned far from the target.

With < -14.9% distortion, this is a wide-angle optical design rather than a low-distortion inspection lens. It is therefore more appropriate for scene coverage, monitoring, and wide-area visual perception than precision dimensional measurement.

Core Application Scenes

• Wide-area machine vision — Suitable for imaging systems that need to observe a large working region with a compact camera.
• Close-range equipment monitoring — The 0.2m M.O.D. supports imaging relatively close to machinery, equipment, or work areas.
• Embedded industrial vision — The M14×0.5 mount enables integration into compact industrial camera assemblies.
• Robotic environment monitoring — The broad FOV can help provide visual awareness around robotic equipment and workspaces.
• Compact security cameras — Suitable for selected monitoring systems where broad coverage is more important than geometric accuracy.
• Indoor wide-area imaging — The 127° diagonal FOV can reduce blind areas in fixed-position camera installations.

Designed for wide-area industrial imaging and close-range embedded vision applications, this lens combines a 127° diagonal FOV with a 0.2m minimum object distance and F1.2 aperture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this?
A: This is a 2.5mm M14 fixed focal wide angle lens designed for 1/2″ camera systems and compact industrial imaging applications.

Q: What is the field of view on a 1/2″ sensor?
A: The specified FOV is 127° diagonal, 111° horizontal, and 92° vertical when used with the 1/2″ format.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: It is not assigned as a primary fisheye lens based only on the supplied specifications. Although the 127° diagonal FOV is very wide, the manufacturer’s optical design classification would be needed to definitively identify it as fisheye.

Q: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified distortion is < -14.9%, which is relatively significant. The lens is better positioned as a wide-angle lens rather than a low-distortion optical solution.

Q: What is the minimum object distance?
A: The specified M.O.D. is 0.2m, meaning the lens is designed to focus on objects from approximately 0.2 meters under the specified optical configuration.

Q: What does the F1.2 aperture provide?
A: F1.2 provides a bright optical path, allowing more light to reach the sensor compared with a smaller maximum aperture. This can be useful in indoor or illumination-limited imaging environments.

Q: What is the mounting interface?
A: The lens uses an M14×0.5 mount and should be paired with a compatible camera housing or lens holder.

Q: What does the C.R.A. specification mean?
A: C.R.A., or Chief Ray Angle, is specified as <1.2° for this lens. This optical parameter can be relevant when matching the lens to a particular image sensor and camera architecture.
