Description
Maximize your situational awareness with our professional-grade 12MP 3.2mm CS-Mount IR Corrected Lens. Specially designed to match high-resolution 1/1.8″ image sensors, this ultra Wide Angle Lens captures an immersive 153° diagonal field of view, eliminating optical blind spots in critical environments. Engineered with a fast F2.0 aperture and full IR Corrected multi-coatings, it ensures flawlessly focused, high-contrast 12-Megapixel imagery across both daytime and infrared nighttime operations. As a versatile Fixed Focal Lens, its rugged design and precise manual focus alignment make it the perfect solution for advanced Drone & UAV Lenses platforms, panoramic industrial CCTV Lenses, and comprehensive Machine Vision Lens integration where situational completeness is paramount.
Key Highlights & Advantages
- 153° Ultra-Wide Panoramic FOV: The ultra-short 3.2mm focal length provides a massive 153° diagonal and 129° horizontal coverage, allowing a single camera to replace multi-camera arrays in wide-area monitoring.
- 12MP High-Pixel Resolving Power: Tailored for 1/1.8″ formats to resolve extreme edge-to-edge details, ensuring that expanded panoramic frames retain sharp, usable pixels even when zooming in digitally.
- Day/Night Optimized IR Correction: Advanced anti-reflective optical coatings correct focus shift under near-infrared (IR) illumination, providing clear, crisp images 24/7 without focus degradation.
- Vibration-Resistant Manual Focus Locking: Features a native CS-mount with an industrial manual focus ring lock, preventing accidental defocusing caused by mechanical movement on drones or robotic systems.

Applications & Compatible Equipment
Core Application Scenarios
This high-resolution Ultra-Wide Lens is engineered for situational tracking and wide-angle visual mapping. It is highly valued as part of Drone & UAV Lenses assemblies for agricultural mapping, power line inspection, and terrain search-and-rescue where a wide viewpoint saves critical mission time. In smart factory setups, it integrates as an Industrial Lens and Machine Vision Lens to monitor large assembly halls, track automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and verify inventory flow across large spaces. Additionally, its robust panoramic output makes it an essential CCTV Lens for situational monitoring in open areas like parking lots, public squares, intersection crosswalks, and high-ceiling warehouses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the <-64% distortion create a “barrel” effect on my images?
A: Yes, a distortion value of <-64% is normal for a high-performance Ultra-Wide Lens. It produces a classic curved, panoramic view to capture a 153° field of view. For applications requiring flat layouts, this geometric distortion can be easily dewarped via software algorithms.

Q: Can this lens be used on smaller sensors like the 1/2.8″ format?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible with smaller sensors. However, due to the sensor crop factor, the resulting field of view will be narrower than the rated 153° diagonal designed for the 1/1.8″ image format.

Q: How does the “IR Corrected” coating help during night monitoring?
A: Visible light and infrared light have different wavelengths, causing them to focus on different planes. As an IR Corrected Lens, its special glass coatings force both light types to converge at the same focal point, preventing the camera from losing focus when night-vision IR LEDs turn on.

Q: Can I adjust the aperture on this model if the environment gets too bright?
A: No, this lens has a Fixed Iris at F2.0 to maintain low-light performance and high sharpness. Exposure adjustments must be managed using your camera’s electronic shutter speed or digital gain controls.

Q: What is the benefit of a CS-mount over a standard M12 miniature mount?
A: A native CS-mount allows for a much larger internal glass element structure compared to M12 lenses. This larger aperture design provides superior light collection, higher peripheral resolution, and less vignetting across the large 1/1.8″ sensor surface.

Q: Is this lens rugged enough to be mounted on a commercial inspection drone?
A: Absolutely. The lens features robust mechanical construction with manual focus locking rings. Once you adjust and lock the focus during integration, it easily withstands the vibrations and high G-forces of drone flight.
