Description
Achieve exceptional geometric precision with our 3.5mm 5MP M12 Ultra-Low Distortion Wide Angle Lens. Specially engineered for applications where straight lines must stay perfectly straight, this professional-grade board lens features an optical distortion rating of less than -0.4%. Supporting standard 1/3″ sensors, it captures a broad 74° horizontal field of view while rendering images in sharp 5-megapixel high resolution. With its hybrid 2G2P optical construction, integrated IR cut filter, and bright F3.0 aperture, it ensures excellent low-light sensitivity and true-to-life color reproduction. It is an ideal optical solution for intelligent transportation systems, smart home surveillance, and advanced drone vision.

Product Application Scenarios and Compatible Devices
Core Application Scenarios
This ultra-low distortion M12 lens is specifically optimized for automotive dashcams, electronic rearview mirrors, smart parking system cameras, and retail AI checkout terminals where accurate geometric measurement is mandatory. It excels in scanning environments like high-speed document readers and package sorting stations because its <-0.4% distortion prevents text stretching. Additionally, its lightweight 2G2P composition makes it perfect for compact surveillance drones and robotic arms that require a steady, wide-angle field of view without impacting battery life or payload balance.
Compatible Devices List
The lens features seamless plug-and-play compatibility with mainstream 1/3-inch and smaller CMOS image sensors from leading brands like Sony, OmniVision, and Aptina. It perfectly adapts to Tuya IoT smart camera modules, Hikvision low-profile surveillance boards, Dahua networked intercoms, and various embedded ARM/Raspberry Pi vision kits. For specialized manufacturing requirements, we offer OEM/ODM services supporting customized focal lengths, specialized IR filter coatings, and field of view adjustments to match your exact hardware configuration.
Designed for automotive vision and intelligent surveillance applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is an ultra-low distortion of <-0.4% important?
A: Standard wide-angle lenses curve straight lines at the image edges. A distortion rate under -0.4% ensures lines remain perfectly straight, which is critical for facial recognition, OCR scanning, and distance measurements.
Q: Can this lens be used for night vision cameras?
A: Yes. The bright F3.0 aperture gathers ample light, and while it includes an integrated IR cut filter for daytime color accuracy, it fully supports cameras equipped with synchronized mechanical switcher mechanisms or external illumination.
Q: What is the benefit of the hybrid 2G2P lens construction?
A: The hybrid layout uses glass elements to maintain optical stability and prevent focus drift under high temperatures, while the plastic elements keep the lens incredibly lightweight and cost-effective.
