Description
Introducing our high-performance 30mm F1.6 M12 telephoto pinhole lens, masterfully engineered for long-range covert surveillance and discrete embedded imaging applications. Featuring an ultra-compact 36.95mm Total Track Length (TTL) and a micro-head conical profile, this premium pinhole board lens breaks the limits of traditional wide-angle optics. Equipped with an ultra-bright F1.6 large aperture that completely shatters the low-light limitations of dark pinhole designs, it ensures crystal-clear, low-noise megapixel video capture over great distances, making it the premier choice for secure automated kiosks, remote identification, and hidden security networks.
Product Highlights
- Micro-Cone Telephoto Architecture: The specialized tapered front barrel allows the lens to hide completely behind panel surfaces, looking out through a tiny drill hole for absolute hidden surveillance at a distance.
- Revolutionary F1.6 Low-Light Iris: Breaks the industry limitation of dark telephoto optics by maximizing light throughput, rendering bright megapixel images without relying on aggressive digital amplification.
- 30mm Laser-Focused Target Spotlight: The 30mm fixed focal length and ultra-narrow 9° H.F.O.V. act like an invisible telescope window, isolating and magnifying far-off faces, tokens, or credentials with zero optical distortion.
- Slim 36.95mm Space-Saving Profile: The highly compressed optical length fits seamlessly into tight ATM chassis, luxury automated vending machines, and compact smart IoT enclosures requiring long-range reach.

Applications & Device Compatibility
Core Application Scenarios
This industrial-grade 30mm F1.6 pinhole lens is custom-designed for critical privacy protection, anti-vandalism, and undercover long-distance visual verification. It functions as the core optical module for ATM hidden security cameras, remote banking kiosks, and high-security access control gates where the camera hardware must remain completely invisible to the public while capturing targets far away. Thanks to its ultra-narrow 9-degree field of view and short 0.2m M.O.D., it excels at capturing detailed biometric data, close-up currency validation, and passport scanning from a flexible distance inside compact enclosures. The micro-conical front element effortlessly slips into pre-drilled panel gaps, minimizing installation footprints while providing uncompromised tracking in dim corridor or indoor environments.
Compatible Device List
- Tailored for high-sensitivity 1/3-inch CMOS image sensors (such as Sony STARVIS, OmniVision, and SmartSens series).
- Fits standard M12 hidden mini-camera modules, covert IPC boards, and Tuya-powered smart smart-home peep-hole units.
- Ideal for embedding into custom industrial machine vision enclosures, smart safety lockers, and tactical undercover gear.
- Supports customizable day/night dual-band coatings (650nm IR cut / 850nm / 940nm IR pass) to facilitate true invisible infrared nighttime illumination.
“Designed for covert surveillance and discrete embedded biometric tracking applications.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does a 30mm telephoto lens function as a pinhole lens?
A: Unlike standard wide-angle pinholes, this model is a specialized telephoto pinhole lens. It is engineered with a narrow, micro-tapered cone tip that can be placed directly behind a tiny physical drill hole, while its 30mm internal optical layout acts like a mini telescope to look deep into the distance.

Q: Does the 30mm focal length cause a fisheye distortion effect?
A: No, quite the opposite. A 30mm lens on a 1/3″ sensor provides an ultra-narrow, zoomed-in 9-degree field of view. It provides a completely flat, distortion-free image that is perfect for capturing specific targets at a long distance with absolute spatial precision.

Q: Is the focus on this M12 pinhole lens adjustable?
A: Yes. It features a manual focus mechanism. By rotating the lens within its thread on the M12 mount board, you can adjust the focus for targets ranging from 0.2 meters away to infinity, then lock it securely using an M12 retaining collar.

Q: Can this lens withstand tight, unventilated spaces inside an ATM or kiosk?
A: Absolutely. Built to strict industrial standards, our M12 board lenses are constructed with temperature-stable housings and high-precision glass elements, ensuring consistent focal stability and zero thermal drift in enclosed spaces.
