Applications & Compatible Devices
Core Application Scenarios
This versatile wide-angle M12 lens is specifically engineered for cost-sensitive applications requiring a compact form factor and an expanded viewing area. It is widely adopted in automotive backup cameras and transit vehicle cabins, where it provides drivers with dependable rear-view and blind-spot visibility. Thanks to its durable 5G glass build, it operates seamlessly within smart home video intercoms, standard CCTV security cameras, and residential peephole viewers. Furthermore, its 0.2m minimum object distance makes it highly efficient for industrial visual tracking, barcode scan engines, and automated reverse-parking sensors exposed to harsh outdoor elements.
Compatible Device List

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this VGA resolution lens be used on a 2MP or 5MP sensor?
A: This lens is optically rated for VGA resolution. While it will physically fit, using it on a high-megapixel sensor will result in soft images because the lens cannot resolve the fine pixel pitch of higher-density sensors.

Q: Does this 2.4mm lens suffer from severe fisheye distortion?
A: With an optical distortion of -39%, this lens produces a mild wide-angle barrel effect, which is significantly lower and less distorted than a standard -87% fisheye lens, making it easier to view without heavy software correction.

Q: Is there a built-in IR cut filter in this 5G lens configuration?
A: This specific configuration features a standard 5G glass structure without a built-in IR filter. If your application requires day/night color switching, we can customize it with an IR-cut coating or specify an external switcher.

Q: How do I calibrate and lock the focus during installation?
A: The lens features a manual M12 thread. You simply thread it into your camera mount until the image on your VGA sensor is sharp at your target distance, then lock it using an M12 thread-locking ring or optical glue.

Q: Is this lens suitable for outdoor automotive environments?
A: Yes. The 5G all-glass design guarantees high thermal stability, preventing the focus loss or blurring that commonly occurs with plastic lenses when exposed to direct sunlight inside vehicles or cold winter weather.
