Description
Enhance your embedded vision and security systems with our high-precision 5MP 8mm M12 Board lens. Specifically engineered for large-format 1/2″ image sensors, this high-definition fixed focal lens outputs a perfectly balanced 51° horizontal field of view with crisp 5 Megapixel resolution, ideal for detailed medium-distance tracking. Outfitted with an ultra-bright F1.8 large aperture and advanced IR corrected lens technology, it delivers exceptional low-light sensitivity and completely eliminates night-vision focus shift under infrared illumination.
Key Product Highlights
-
- Optimal 1/2″ Medium-Distance Framing: Provides a focused 51° horizontal view on 1/2″ sensors, preventing edge distortion while capturing pristine, localized forensic detail.
- Stunning 5MP Ultra-HD Clarity: Built with precision-ground 6G all-glass components to support 5 Megapixel resolutions, ensuring razor-sharp details and superior digital zoom capabilities.
- Seamless IR-Corrected Day/Night Tracking: Advanced multi-coatings ensure visible and infrared light focus on the exact same plane, guaranteeing sharp night vision footage without focus blur.
- Ultra-Bright F1.8 Aperture: Floods your camera sensor with light, ensuring bright, low-noise image capture during dim dawn, dusk, or challenging indoor lighting environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
- Q: What is the main benefit of an IR corrected lens during 24/7 monitoring?
-
- A: Visible light and Infrared light focus at different optical points due to different wavelengths. Standard optics go blurry when night-vision IR lamps turn on. This IR corrected lens targets both onto the exact same focal plane, keeping daytime color footage and nighttime infrared footage equally crisp.
-
- Q: What are the advantages of the 6G all-glass design over plastic lenses?
-
- A: Plastic lenses degrade, warp, and shift focus when heated up by direct outdoor sunlight or internal electronics. The 6G all-glass layout ensures incredible thermal stability, exceptional scratch resistance, and excellent light transmission for 5MP sensors.
-
- Q: Can this 1/2″ format lens be used with smaller 1/3″ or 1/2.8″ sensors?
-
- A: Yes, it is fully backward compatible. Mounting a large 1/2″ lens on a smaller sensor will slightly crop the field of view (making it narrower), but it yields outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness because your sensor captures only the highest-quality center portion of the optics.
-
- Q: Is the iris or focal distance adjustable on this M12 model?
-
- A: The iris is fixed at a bright F1.8 for consistent light throughput. As a fixed focal lens, the focal length is set at 8mm. You focus the image manually during installation by turning the lens into the M12 thread until it is perfectly crisp, then locking it with an M12 locking ring.
-
- Q: What do the dimensions Φ14×19.1mm indicate?
-
- A: This indicates an ultra-compact body with a maximum front outer diameter of 14mm and a total length of 19.1mm. This lightweight, miniature profile makes it incredibly easy to fit into tiny drone gimbals, robot heads, or discrete mini-camera housings.
-
- Q: Does this lens include an Infrared (IR) Cut Filter?
-
- A: The standard 6G configuration allows maximum light transmission across both visible and IR spectrums. Depending on your project requirements (such as daytime color fidelity or monochromatic 850nm/940nm laser illumination), custom optical filters can be pre-fitted to the rear element. Please contact our sales engineers for custom requests.
