Description
Expand your visual perspective without sacrificing geometric fidelity with our premium 2MP 2.6mm M12 Low Distortion Lens. Precisely optimized for 1/3.2″ image sensors, this ultra-compact wide angle lens provides an impressive 98° diagonal field of view while mitigating optical distortion to under -2.9%. Engineered with a hybrid 3G2P (3 Glass + 2 Plastic) optical alignment and a fast F2.4 aperture, it delivers crisp, low-noise 2 Megapixel resolution even in low-light environments. It is the ideal choice for international OEMs designing next-generation CCTV lens modules, smart home ecosystems, and agile drone & UAV lenses.
Product Highlights
- Expansive 98° Wide-Angle Coverage: Captures a sweeping field of view (85° Horizontal) from close quarters, eliminating blind spots in smart doorbells, vehicle cabins, and room monitors.
- Optimized <-2.9% Low Distortion: Strictly controls edge-bending artifacts common in mini-optics, producing natural, realistic images that reduce heavy backend software rectifying costs.
- Bright F2.4 Aperture for Low Light: Allows higher light throughput than standard F2.8 or F3.5 micro lenses, maintaining bright, clear imaging under dimmed indoor or night surveillance conditions.
- Ultra-Lightweight 3G2P Hybrid Optic: Combines 3 premium glass layers for thermal stability with 2 precision plastic elements to drastically minimize weight, perfect for payload-sensitive flight equipment.

Target Applications & Device Compatibility
Core Application Scenarios
This low distortion wide angle M12 lens is purpose-built for smart consumer electronics, lightweight robotics, and localized security monitoring. Its wide 98° perspective allows it to excel in smart video doorbells, residential entry security monitors, and dashcams, capturing complete visual evidence across multiple lanes or broad doorsteps. Because of its miniature Φ14×14.36mm dimension and lightweight 3G2P construction, it is also highly valued for commercial drone obstacle-avoidance pods, agricultural UAV down-facing cameras, panoramic multi-lens stitching arrays, and automated retail kiosk tracking cameras.
Compatible Device List
- Sensors & Core CMOS Blocks: Tailored for 1/3.2″ image sensors and fully backward-compatible with 1/4″ chips (such as mainstream Omnivision OV2710 / OV2735 and Sony 2MP series).
- Smart Security Platforms: Fits seamlessly inside Tuya IoT cameras, Xiaomi ecosystem smart doorbells, and standard Hikvision/Dahua low-end monitoring boards.
- Drones & Portable Gear: Integrates easily into micro FPV drone cameras, compact action cameras, and specialized wearable security badge cameras.
- Customization Capabilities: Available for mass orders with custom IR-cut filter transitions (e.g., 650nm, 850nm, or dual-pass), adjusted Back Focal Lengths, or custom barrel textures.
Designed for smart home IoT and compact drone navigation applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the benefits of a 3G2P hybrid lens design?
A: The 3G2P setup uses 3 Glass elements to lock in thermal stability and scratch resistance at the outer layers, combined with 2 Precision Plastic elements to optimize internal optical aberrations. This hybrid approach keeps the lens highly affordable and lightweight without compromising on 2MP resolution.
Q: Can this 1/3.2″ format lens be deployed on a 1/2.7″ or 1/2.8″ sensor?
A: No, it is not recommended. This lens produces an image circle specifically sized for a 1/3.2″ sensor. Using it on a larger sensor area like a 1/2.7″ will result in heavy “vignetting” or dark circular crops around the corners of your video feed.
Q: How does the F2.4 aperture compare to standard F2.8 lenses on the market?
A: An F2.4 aperture lets in roughly 35% more light than a standard F2.8 aperture. This extra light collection noticeably improves low-light visibility, allowing your camera sensor to output cleaner images with less digital grain at dusk or in low-lit rooms.
Q: Is the focus on this M12 board lens adjustable?
A: Yes, this is a standard thread-in board lens. To set the focus for your specific application distance, manually thread the lens into your camera base holder until the video stream becomes perfectly sharp, then anchor it firmly using a standard set screw or M12 locking ring.
Q: What is the Minimum Object Distance (M.O.D.), and can it capture macro images?
A: The M.O.D. for this lens is 0.2 meters (20cm). It can clearly focus on any object from 20cm away up to infinity. While it is not a dedicated micro-macro lens, it is more than capable of capturing close-up interactions on automated kiosks or scanning desk documents.
Q: Does your factory supply required documentation for North American or European compliance?
A: Absolutely. Our manufacturing units operate under strict ISO9001 regulations, and this specific wide-angle product is fully RoHS certified. We provide full optical data sheets, material declarations, and international compliance files to ensure an effortless import process.
