Product Application Scenarios and Compatible Devices
Core Application Scenarios
This high-performance wide angle lens is tailored for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), commercial fleet monitoring, and automotive around-view monitors (AVM) where panoramic visibility and absolute geometric truth are necessary. Its superior low-distortion profile makes it exceptional for high-speed automated license plate recognition (ALPR), ITS lens electronic tolling gantries, and industrial robotic pick-and-place lines. The hybrid 2G2P glass-plastic layout ensures structural integrity and high optical convergence under varying outdoor temperatures, making it a reliable pick for smart cities and high-end CCTV lens hardware.
Compatible Devices List
Optimized for premium 1/1.8-inch and 1/2-inch mainstream 6 MP/5 MP CMOS sensors from Sony, OmniVision, and SmartSens. It directly integrates into commercial dashcams, rugged smart traffic enforcement cameras, rugged drone & UAV lenses camera gimbals, and AI-driven warehouse sorting cameras. Designed with a standard M12x0.5 thread interface, it effortlessly threads into existing sensor board mounts. Tailored adaptations for customized focal lengths or different anti-reflection coatings are available upon commercial request.
Designed for automotive vision and intelligent traffic monitoring application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes a <-0.4% distortion lens important for automotive or ITS applications?
A: Standard wide-angle lenses warp straight lines into curves. A distortion of less than -0.4% ensures the image remains physically flat, allowing AI software to accurately read license plates and track driving lanes.
Q: Is this M12 lens suitable for outdoor weather conditions?
A: Yes, its robust hybrid structure and industrial sealings ensure thermal stability, keeping your image focused and clear despite standard direct sunlight or seasonal temperature shifts.
Q: Can this lens be used on a standard 1/2.8″ or 1/3″ sensor?
A: Absolutely. It is fully backward-compatible with 1/2″, 1/2.8″, and 1/3″ sensors. Note that using a smaller sensor will crop the field of view slightly while utilizing the high-performance sweet spot of the lens center.
Q: What is the purpose of the built-in IR cut filter?
A: The integrated IR cut filter filters out unwanted near-infrared light during daylight hours, preventing color distortion (like green grass turning pink) and ensuring natural imaging.
Q: Does this lens require any specialized mount adjustments for installation?
A: No, it uses a standard M12x0.5 thread (S-Mount). It threads directly into industry-standard camera module barrels without modifying the chassis.
Q: What is the Minimum Object Distance (M.O.D.) for this lens?
A: The M.O.D. is 0.4 meters, meaning objects as close as 40cm to the lens will remain perfectly in focus for clear close-range imaging.
