6.5mm M12 Wide Angle Lens Applications

Core Application Scenes

The combination of an 8MP sensor format, 6.5mm focal length, F1.6 aperture, and wide 71° horizontal FOV makes this lens suitable for applications requiring both detailed imaging and broad scene coverage.

Typical applications include:

• Automotive vision systems: IP67/IP69K protection supports camera installations exposed to water, dust, vibration, and demanding environmental conditions.
• Vehicle-mounted monitoring: The 71° horizontal FOV captures a relatively broad area while retaining the imaging detail provided by an 8MP sensor.
• Outdoor intelligent cameras: The rugged environmental protection allows integration into outdoor camera systems requiring enhanced ingress protection.
• Smart traffic vision: The combination of 8MP resolution and wide-angle coverage can support road-scene monitoring and traffic-related imaging systems.
• Industrial outdoor inspection: High resolution combined with IP69K protection makes the lens suitable for industrial vision equipment operating in demanding environments.
• Embedded AI vision: The OX08B40 compatibility provides a high-resolution imaging platform for object detection, recognition, and scene analysis.

Designed for automotive vision, smart traffic, outdoor monitoring, and high-resolution embedded AI imaging applications.

Optical Design and Imaging Performance

The lens uses a 7G1MG optical structure with an IRCF. The IRCF, or Infrared Cut Filter, is intended to control unwanted infrared wavelengths in visible-light imaging. It should not be interpreted as an IR-corrected optical design.

The F1.6 aperture is one of the key characteristics of this model. Compared with smaller apertures, the large aperture allows more light to reach the image sensor, making the lens suitable for applications where available illumination can vary.

With an 81° diagonal FOV and 71° horizontal FOV, the 6.5mm focal length provides broad coverage without being positioned as an extreme fisheye optic. The specified < -19% distortion should therefore be considered part of the wide-angle optical behavior rather than a low-distortion specification.

The lens also supports a maximum image circle of Φ9.5mm, making it suitable for the specified 1/1.73-inch OX08B40 sensor configuration.

Environmental Protection

This model provides both IP67 and IP69K protection specifications. IP67 is suitable for equipment requiring protection against dust and temporary water immersion, while IP69K is intended for applications involving more demanding water and cleaning conditions.

This makes the lens particularly relevant to:

• Vehicle-mounted cameras
• Outdoor intelligent cameras
• Industrial equipment
• Smart traffic systems
• Harsh-environment vision modules

When selecting the final camera assembly, the complete enclosure, connector, cable interface, and installation design should also be evaluated because the system-level protection rating depends on the complete camera construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What sensor is this 6.5mm M12 lens designed for?
A: The lens is specified for the 1/1.73-inch OX08B40 sensor and supports 8MP imaging.

Q2: What is the field of view of the 6.5mm lens?
A: With the OX08B40 sensor, it provides approximately 81° diagonal, 71° horizontal, and 40° vertical FOV.

Q3: Is this lens considered a fisheye lens?
A: No. The 81° diagonal FOV is wide, but the lens is better categorized as a wide-angle fixed focal lens rather than a fisheye lens.

Q4: Is this a low distortion lens?
A: No. The specified distortion is below -19%, so it should not be classified as a low-distortion lens. The distortion level is consistent with its wide-angle optical coverage.

Q5: What is the advantage of the F1.6 aperture?
A: The F1.6 aperture provides strong light-gathering capability, which can help maintain image brightness in lower-light or changing illumination conditions.

Q6: Is this lens suitable for automotive applications?
A: Yes. Its IP67/IP69K protection makes it suitable for automotive and other outdoor vision systems requiring resistance to dust, water, and demanding environmental conditions.

Q7: What does 7G1MG+IRCF mean?
A: It indicates a 7G1MG optical structure with an IR Cut Filter. The IRCF controls infrared wavelengths for visible-light imaging and is not equivalent to an IR-corrected lens.

Q8: What mount does this lens use?
A: The lens uses an M12x0.5 mount, which is widely used for compact embedded camera modules and small-form-factor vision systems.
