2.9mm M12 12MP Wide Angle Fixed Focal Lens

This 2.9mm M12 12MP wide angle lens is designed for compact imaging systems requiring high resolution and a broad field of view. Supporting 1/2.3″ and 1/3.2″ sensors, it delivers up to 113° diagonal FOV with a fixed F2.4 aperture and integrated IRCF.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Core Highlights

• 12MP high-resolution imaging for detailed machine vision and surveillance applications
• 2.9mm fixed focal length provides a broad viewing range in compact camera systems
• Up to 113° diagonal FOV when paired with a 1/2.3″ IMX392 sensor
• F2.4 fixed aperture provides a stable optical configuration for embedded cameras
• M12 x 0.5 mount supports compact camera and vision-system integration
• Integrated IRCF helps manage visible-light imaging by blocking unwanted infrared wavelengths

2.9mm M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

The 2.9mm M12 12MP lens is suitable for compact cameras where both high resolution and wide scene coverage are required. Its 2.9mm focal length provides a broad viewing angle without using a variable-focus mechanism, making it suitable for fixed installation and embedded imaging systems.

With support for 1/2.3″ and 1/3.2″ sensor formats, the lens can be configured with different image sensors according to the camera architecture. When used with the 1/2.3″ IMX392, it provides a 113° diagonal FOV, 105° horizontal FOV, and 71° vertical FOV. With the 1/3.2″ AR1335, the FOV becomes 97° diagonal, 84° horizontal, and 67° vertical.

The 12MP optical configuration makes this lens suitable for applications that need to capture fine image details across a relatively wide scene. Its 0.2m MOD also allows imaging of subjects at comparatively short working distances.

Core Application Scenes

Wide-Angle Machine Vision

The combination of 2.9mm focal length, high resolution, and broad FOV makes the lens suitable for machine vision systems that need to monitor a relatively large inspection area from a limited camera position.

Smart Security Cameras

The wide viewing angle can help compact surveillance cameras cover larger areas without requiring a long focal length. The fixed F2.4 aperture provides a simple and stable optical configuration for fixed-position security systems.

Embedded Vision Systems

The compact M12 x 0.5 interface makes the lens suitable for embedded cameras where installation space is limited. It can be integrated into compact vision modules, inspection equipment, and intelligent imaging devices.

Robotics and AI Vision

Wide-angle imaging can be useful for robotic perception systems that require a larger scene overview. The 12MP resolution provides additional image detail for downstream inspection and vision-processing tasks.

Short-Distance Imaging

With a 0.2m minimum object distance, the lens can be considered for compact imaging systems where the target is positioned relatively close to the camera.

Designed for wide-angle machine vision, compact security cameras, and embedded AI imaging applications.

Optical Performance

Wide Field of View

With the 1/2.3″ IMX392 sensor, this 2.9mm lens provides:

• 113° diagonal FOV
• 105° horizontal FOV
• 71° vertical FOV

With the 1/3.2″ AR1335 sensor:

• 97° diagonal FOV
• 84° horizontal FOV
• 67° vertical FOV

The difference demonstrates why sensor format should be considered when selecting an M12 lens. The same 2.9mm focal length can produce significantly different image coverage when paired with different sensor sizes.

TOWIN’s Sensor Guide provides additional information about sensor format and lens compatibility.

12MP Resolution

The lens supports up to 12MP resolution, making it suitable for high-resolution compact imaging systems. When designing a camera around a 12MP sensor, optical resolution, sensor format, FOV, and mounting dimensions should all be considered together.

Fixed F2.4 Aperture

The F2.4 fixed aperture provides a stable optical configuration without requiring a mechanical iris adjustment. This is useful for compact camera modules where a simple and consistent optical structure is preferred.

M12 x 0.5 Mount

The M12 x 0.5 mounting interface is widely used in compact camera modules and embedded vision equipment. Its small mechanical footprint makes it suitable for systems where camera size is an important design consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What sensors are compatible with this 2.9mm M12 lens?

A: The lens is specified for 1/2.3″ and 1/3.2″ image formats, with FOV data provided for the IMX392 and AR1335 sensors respectively.

Q: What is the maximum resolution of this lens?

A: The lens is specified for 12MP resolution, making it suitable for high-resolution compact camera and vision applications.

Q: What is the FOV of the 2.9mm lens?

A: With a 1/2.3″ IMX392 sensor, the FOV is 113° diagonal, 105° horizontal, and 71° vertical. With a 1/3.2″ AR1335 sensor, it is 97° diagonal, 84° horizontal, and 67° vertical.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?

A: No. Although the lens provides a wide FOV, its specified distortion is below -1.5%, so it should be treated as a wide angle lens rather than a fisheye lens based on the supplied optical specifications.

Q: Does this lens qualify as a low distortion lens?

A: No. The specified distortion is < -1.5%, which does not meet the low-distortion classification used for TOWIN’s dedicated low-distortion lens range. See the Distortion Guide for more information about lens distortion.

Q: Does “With IRCF” mean the lens is IR corrected?

A: No. “With IRCF” indicates that an IR cut filter is included in the lens structure. It does not by itself indicate optical IR correction across different wavelengths.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?

A: The specified minimum object distance is 0.2m, making it suitable for imaging applications where the camera is positioned relatively close to the target.

Q: What temperature range can this lens operate in?

A: The specified working temperature range is -20°C to +70°C, making it suitable for a range of indoor and controlled outdoor imaging environments.
