M12 Lens – CCL13026MPFR

CCL13026MPFR Wide Angle M12 S-mount 2.6mm board lens car view recorder short TTL AR0330 3MP

2.6mm 3MP 160° Wide Angle M12 Lens

This 2.6mm 3MP M12 lens delivers an ultra-wide 160° diagonal field of view in a compact 4.8g optical package. Designed for compact camera modules and wide-area imaging systems, this wide angle M12 lens combines a 1/3″ image format, F2.4 fixed aperture, and short 0.2m minimum object distance for space-constrained imaging applications.

Product Core Highlights

• 160° ultra-wide FOV for broad-area image coverage
• 3MP resolution for detailed compact-camera imaging
• 2.6mm fixed focal length for short-distance wide-angle applications
• Compact 4.8g design for lightweight camera modules
• M12X0.5 mount for space-constrained optical systems

Wide Angle M12 Lens Applications

Ultra-Wide Smart Camera Modules

The 2.6mm focal length and 160° diagonal FOV make this lens suitable for compact smart cameras that need to capture a large area from a relatively short installation distance. It can be used in indoor monitoring modules, smart home cameras, compact IoT cameras, and embedded vision devices where installation space is limited and a conventional narrow-angle lens would leave blind spots.

Compact Indoor Monitoring Systems

With its wide horizontal and vertical coverage, this wide angle M12 lens can help compact security cameras monitor entrances, rooms, corridors, counters, and other confined areas with fewer blind spots. The 0.2m M.O.D. also supports relatively close-range imaging where the camera needs to observe objects positioned near the lens.

Embedded IoT and Smart Vision Devices

The 15.94mm TTL and 4.8g weight make the lens suitable for lightweight embedded camera designs where both optical coverage and mechanical space are important. It can be integrated into compact IoT imaging modules, smart monitoring devices, interactive terminals, and other small-form-factor vision equipment.

Wide-Area Industrial Observation

For industrial equipment that requires a broad view rather than precision measurement, the lens can be used for general-purpose observation, equipment status monitoring, and compact embedded imaging. For more demanding machine vision applications, customers can also review TOWIN’s Machine Vision solutions to select a lens according to sensor size, working distance, resolution, and distortion requirements.

Compatible Device List: Suitable for compact camera modules using 1/3″ CMOS sensors, M12-mounted smart cameras, indoor monitoring cameras, IoT vision modules, embedded vision devices, and lightweight industrial observation systems. The M12X0.5 interface also makes the lens suitable for customized compact camera designs.

Lens Selection Considerations

Because this lens provides a 160° diagonal field of view with strong wide-angle distortion, it is best suited to applications where maximum scene coverage is more important than geometric accuracy. If the application requires accurate dimensional measurement or highly controlled image geometry, customers should consider a low-distortion optical design instead.

For applications involving different sensor formats and image circles, TOWIN’s Sensor Guide can help determine whether the selected lens and camera sensor are optically compatible. The Lens Selection Guide can also be used when comparing focal length, FOV, sensor size, and mounting requirements.

For customers evaluating the required viewing range, TOWIN’s FOV Calculator can help estimate field of view based on sensor and focal-length parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the field of view of this 2.6mm M12 lens?
A: This lens provides a 160° diagonal field of view, with 115° horizontal and 80° vertical coverage on a 1/3″ image format.

Q: What sensor size is compatible with this M12 lens?
A: The lens is designed for a 1/3″ image format and is therefore suitable for camera modules using compatible 1/3″ CMOS sensors.

Q: Is this a wide angle M12 lens?
A: Yes. With a 2.6mm focal length and 160° diagonal FOV, it is designed as an ultra-wide-angle M12 lens for applications requiring extensive scene coverage.

Q: Is this lens a fisheye lens?
A: The lens provides an extremely wide 160° diagonal field of view, but the supplied specifications do not explicitly identify its optical projection as fisheye. It is therefore more appropriately described as an ultra-wide-angle M12 lens based on the available specifications.

Q: Is this M12 lens IR corrected?
A: The specification lists a 5G + IR Cut lens construction. This indicates an IR-cut optical configuration, but it should not be described as an IR-corrected lens unless IR correction performance is specifically confirmed.

Q: What applications are suitable for this 2.6mm lens?
A: It is suitable for compact smart cameras, indoor monitoring modules, IoT vision devices, embedded camera systems, and wide-area observation applications where broad image coverage is required.

Q: What is the minimum object distance of this lens?
A: The minimum object distance is 0.2m, making the lens suitable for relatively close-range wide-angle imaging.

Q: Can TOWIN customize an M12 lens for a specific camera module?
A: TOWIN can evaluate optical requirements such as sensor format, focal length, field of view, mechanical dimensions, and application conditions to develop suitable customized lens solutions. Contact TOWIN to discuss your requirements.
