Applications & Device Compatibility
This ultra-compact 3MP M12 fisheye lens is engineered for close-range, maximum-area imaging where minimizing hardware size is crucial. In automotive engineering, it serves as an excellent choice for 360-degree Around View Monitoring (AVM) systems, electronic side mirrors, and blind-spot detection cameras, enduring severe vehicle vibrations and climate changes. For smart home and commercial security, it provides an ultra-wide viewing angle inside intelligent video doorbells, smart peepholes, and panoramic indoor dome cameras. Furthermore, its lightweight 15.7mm T.T.L. profile makes it ideal for lightweight drone & UAV lenses navigation modules and machine vision lens setups tasked with robotic obstacle detection.
Compatible Device List:
- Sensor Compatibility: Optimized for 1/2.7″ CMOS formats with a max image circle of Φ6.9mm; perfectly compatible with popular 1/2.8″ and 1/3″ sensors (e.g., SmartSens, Sony IMX series, OmniVision).
- Automotive & Security Hardware: Direct thread match for automotive dashcam modules, multi-camera AVM stitch boards, and mainstream Tuya or Hikvision security camera internal boards.
- AIoT & Robotics: Fits smoothly onto Raspberry Pi wide-angle camera modules, NVIDIA Jetson developer kits, and industrial AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) sensor blocks.
- Customization available for specialized IR filter coatings, barrel lengths, and anti-reflective specifications to match OEM projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 182° field of view look like on my screen?
A: A 182° field of view produces a circular, panoramic “fisheye” effect on the image sensor. It allows you to see slightly behind the camera plane laterally. For a standard flat view, this raw video stream is typically straightened out using dewarping software on your device processor.
Q: Can this lens handle severe outdoor weather and vehicle vibration?
A: Yes. Because it uses an all-glass optical structure (4G), it features excellent thermal stability compared to plastic lenses. It will not warp, yellow, or drift out of focus when exposed to direct sunlight or harsh automotive environments.
Q: Is the IR cut filter removable for night vision?
A: This model features a fixed internal IR Cut Filter (IRCF) that blocks infrared light to guarantee true-to-life color during daytime. If your application relies on an external mechanical IR-cut switcher for day/night vision transitions, please let us know so we can supply the lens without the internal filter.
Q: Will this lens introduce vignetting (dark corners) on my camera?
A: With a maximum image format of Φ6.9mm, it covers standard 1/2.7″ and smaller sensors without vignetting. If you mount it on a sensor larger than 1/2.5″, you may see dark corners due to the edges of the image circle.
Q: How is the manual focus adjusted on an M12 lens?
A: Focus is set during camera assembly. You thread the lens into the M12 camera mount until the video stream becomes completely clear on your test monitor, then lock its position permanently using a locking ring or a drop of optical adhesive.
Q: Can this lens be customized to fit an M8 or C-mount thread?
A: The physical housing is fixed to a standard M12x0.5 thread. However, we offer mechanical adaptation options or alternative optical models for custom mount requirements. Please share your project details with our engineering team.
