Target Applications & Compatible Devices
Core Application Scenarios
This ultra-wide M12 Fisheye Automotive lens is purpose-built for environments demanding maximum visual capture within tight physical spaces. It serves as a core component in Automotive 360° Surround-View Systems (AVM) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD), allowing vehicles to map their entire perimeter seamlessly. In Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), it captures multi-lane traffic dynamics from a single overhead fixture. Furthermore, its rugged 7G all-glass design makes it ideal for Industrial Machine Vision, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), and warehouse robotics operating under harsh vibrations and extreme temperature fluctuations where plastic lenses would warp or fail.
Compatible Device List
- Sensors: Fully optimized for OmniVision OV10640 (1/2.56″), and highly compatible with mainstream 1/2.7″ and 1/3″ CMOS image sensors.
- Automotive Hardware: Car DVRs, surround-view camera modules, ADAS setups, and rear-view backup camera housings.
- Industrial Automation: Robotic arms, automated guided vehicles (AGV) navigation systems, and assembly-line vision inspection systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the <-97% optical distortion value mean for this lens?
A: For a 200° ultra-wide fisheye lens, a distortion value approaching -100% is normal and expected. It indicates a f-theta mapping characteristic designed to compress a massive spherical field of view onto a flat 1.3MP sensor. This barrel distortion can be easily straightened via software de-warping algorithms.
Q: Can this lens withstand outdoor automotive environments?
A: Yes. Featuring a 7G (seven all-glass elements) construction, this lens offers superior thermal stability compared to plastic or plastic-hybrid lenses. It prevents focus shift caused by extreme heat or cold, making it ideal for automotive and outdoor ITS usage.
Q: Is the mount adjustable, or can I get a different iris option?
A: This specific model features a standard fixed M12x0.5 thread mount and a fixed F2.0 iris to ensure maximum structural stability under heavy vibration. If you require custom mounting or variable iris solutions, please contact our engineering team.
Q: What is the Minimum Object Distance (M.O.D.) for this optical component?
A: The M.O.D. is 0.1 meters (10 cm). This exceptionally short focusing distance allows close-up tracking, making it highly effective for robotic spatial mapping and proximity sensors.
Q: Does this lens support sensor formats larger or smaller than 1/2.56″?
A: It is perfectly optimized for the 1/2.56″ image format (like the OV10640). If used with smaller sensors (e.g., 1/3″), the field of view will narrow slightly but will remain crop-compatible without dark corners.
Q: Are custom modifications available for the T.T.L. or optical coatings?
A: Yes. We offer comprehensive customization options for OEM clients, including tailored Total Track Lengths (T.T.L.), specialized anti-reflective (AR) coatings, and IR-cut filter integration to match your exact system specifications.
