2.8mm M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.8mm M12 automotive wide angle lens is optimized for vehicle-mounted imaging applications where a compact camera needs to monitor a large area from a short installation distance. Its 130° diagonal FOV allows the camera to capture a broad scene while maintaining a compact optical package, making it suitable for close-range automotive perception and monitoring.

The IP67 waterproof construction makes the lens particularly suitable for camera modules installed on vehicle exteriors, where the optical system may be exposed to rain, dust, road splash, and changing outdoor temperatures. The 0.1m minimum object distance also supports close-range imaging where objects need to be captured near the camera.

For broader automotive perception requirements, this lens can complement systems covered by ADAS solutions, especially where wide-area visual coverage is required from a compact camera position.

For applications requiring different focal lengths, sensor formats, or viewing angles, the M12 Lenses product range provides additional compact lens options. Engineers can also use the M12 Lens solution as a reference when developing small-form-factor camera systems.

Optical Design Considerations

The combination of a 2.8mm focal length and 130° diagonal FOV is intended to maximize scene coverage from a compact camera position. The high negative distortion of less than -79% is characteristic of an extreme wide-angle optical design, allowing a large scene to be projected onto a relatively small image format.

For engineers evaluating image geometry and wide-angle performance, the Distortion Guide provides additional information about how lens distortion affects captured images and system-level image processing.

The M12x0.5 interface also makes this lens suitable for compact embedded camera architectures. When selecting a lens for a particular image sensor, engineers can refer to the Sensor Guide and Lens Selection Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is this 2.8mm M12 lens?
A: This is a fixed focal length M12 automotive wide angle lens with a 130° diagonal field of view. It is designed for wide-area imaging in compact vehicle camera systems.

Q: Is this lens suitable for automotive applications?
A: Yes. The lens features an IP67 waterproof structure and an ultra-wide 130° diagonal FOV, making it suitable for vehicle-mounted camera applications exposed to outdoor conditions.

Q: What is the field of view of this automotive lens?
A: When tested with the GC2053 sensor, the lens provides approximately 130° diagonal, 109° horizontal, and 57° vertical field of view.

Q: Why does this lens have high distortion?
A: The distortion is specified at less than -79% because the lens uses an extreme wide-angle optical design. This allows a very large viewing area to be captured within a compact image format.

Q: What sensor resolution is this lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for 2MP imaging and its FOV data is provided using the GC2053 sensor. Final system performance should be evaluated together with the selected image sensor and camera module.

Q: Is the aperture adjustable?
A: No. This model uses a fixed F2.6 aperture and fixed iris, providing a simple and stable optical configuration for dedicated camera modules.

Q: What is the mounting interface?
A: The lens uses an M12x0.5 mount, a compact interface commonly used in embedded and automotive camera modules.

Q: Can Towin customize this lens for an automotive camera project?
A: Towin can discuss optical and mechanical customization requirements for OEM camera projects. For a specific sensor, housing, FOV, or environmental requirement, customers can contact Towin for engineering evaluation.
