M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

This 2.9mm M12 lens is designed for compact cameras that need to capture a broad scene from a relatively short working distance. Its 130° diagonal field of view makes it suitable for applications where wider coverage is more important than long-distance subject magnification.

The F1.4 fixed aperture provides strong light-gathering capability for indoor and variable-light environments. Combined with a 0.2m minimum object distance, the lens can also be used where the camera needs to observe objects or areas at relatively close range.

For embedded vision, the M12x0.5 interface makes this lens suitable for compact camera modules with limited installation space. It can be integrated into smart devices, monitoring cameras, robotic platforms, and other space-constrained vision systems.

The fixed iris and fixed focal length provide a straightforward optical configuration for camera designs with a predefined viewing area. The 5.2mm back focal length should also be considered when matching the lens to the camera’s mechanical and sensor assembly.

Compatible Device List

• Compact Embedded Cameras: Suitable for 1/2.8″ CMOS camera modules using an M12x0.5 lens interface.
• Indoor Monitoring Cameras: The wide FOV can cover entrances, rooms, corridors, equipment areas, and other relatively close-range scenes.
• Robotics Vision Modules: Suitable for compact robots requiring a broad forward or environmental view within a limited optical installation space.
• Smart IoT Cameras: Can be integrated into embedded AI and IoT vision devices where compact dimensions and wide coverage are important.
• Short-Range Imaging Devices: The 0.2m M.O.D. supports applications where subjects are positioned relatively close to the camera.
• Customized Camera Assemblies: The fixed iris, M12x0.5 mount, and 5.2mm B.F.L. can be considered during mechanical and optical integration.

When selecting this lens for a camera module, sensor format and active image area should be checked carefully. The Sensor Guide provides useful background for understanding sensor and lens compatibility.

If you need to determine whether a 2.9mm focal length can provide the required coverage at a specific working distance, use the FOV Calculator to evaluate the optical setup.

For broader lens-selection decisions involving focal length, sensor size, FOV, and working distance, refer to the Lens Selection Guide.

Designed for compact wide-angle monitoring, embedded vision, robotics cameras, and close-range imaging applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of lens is the 2.9mm M12 lens?
A: It is a fixed focal length M12 wide angle lens designed for 1/2.8″ sensors, with a 130° diagonal field of view and F1.4 aperture.

Q: What is the field of view of this 2.9mm lens?
A: The specified field of view is 130° diagonal, 115° horizontal, and 62° vertical.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: Available specs confirm an ultra-wide FOV but omit distortion data and explicit fisheye designation. Thus, it cannot be categorized as a fisheye lens solely from provided information.

Q: What is the advantage of the F1.4 aperture?
A: The F1.4 aperture allows more light to reach the sensor than a slower aperture, making the lens suitable for indoor and other environments where available illumination may vary.

Q: What does the 0.2m M.O.D. mean?
A: M.O.D.. The 0.2m rating means the lens can focus on objects as close as ~0.2m under the defined optical setup.

Q: Which camera sensor is compatible with this lens?
A: The lens is specified for a 1/2.8″ image format. Final compatibility should be confirmed based on the sensor’s active image area and the camera module’s mechanical design.

Q: What does the 5.2mm B.F.L. specification mean?
A: B.F.L.  denotes the distance from the lens rear reference to the image plane under defined optical conditions. It is critical for lens-camera module integration.

Q: Can this M12 lens be customized for a specific camera?
A: Towin can evaluate optical and mechanical requirements based on sensor format, FOV, working distance, housing dimensions, and other system requirements. For project-specific requirements, contact Towin for an engineering evaluation.
