Target Applications & Compatible Devices
Core Application Scenarios
This 4K-grade 180° IR corrected fisheye lens is built for extreme visual environments requiring continuous, high-definition panoramic tracking from a single sensor. In public safety, it powers premium ceiling-mounted 360-degree CCTV panoramic dome cameras, high-ceiling logistics sorting hubs, and retail anti-theft matrices. For intelligent transit systems, it provides unparalleled resolution for ITS traffic monitoring lanes and automotive surround-view setups, allowing multi-lane recording and vehicle perimeter tracking. Furthermore, its ultra-short 0.1m M.O.D. and high 8MP clarity make it highly valued for drone & UAV autonomous mapping, autonomous mobile robots (AMR), and factory machine vision automated inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I need an IR Corrected lens for this 8MP camera setup?
A: Standard high-resolution lenses experience heavy blur or focus drift when switching between daylight and nighttime IR illumination. This IR corrected lens uses specialized glass element combinations to focus both wavelengths onto the exact same sensor plane, keeping your 8MP images crisp 24/7.
Q: Can this 1/1.8″ large format lens fit onto smaller sensors like 1/2.8″?
A: Yes, it is fully backward compatible. However, because a 1/2.8″ sensor crops the outer edges of the Φ5.6mm optical circle, your actual horizontal and vertical field of view will be tighter than the full 180 degrees.
Q: What type of software processing does a -94% distortion require?
A: A -94% distortion means the lens creates a classic spherical fisheye image view. To transform this into a standard flat rectangular video screen for users, your system ISP or software backend will need to apply a standard de-warping algorithm.
Q: How does the 0.1m M.O.D. benefit automated industrial inspections?
A: The 0.1m Minimum Object Distance allows the camera module to be placed exceptionally close (10cm) to moving production line components while maintaining crystal-clear focus, perfect for tight robotic sorting cages.
Q: Is the construction durable enough for outdoor automotive tracking?
A: Absolutely. The entire barrel is manufactured using high-stability metal alloys that house premium multi-layer glass elements, preventing the focus shifting or image degrading common in cheap plastic optics under harsh sun or frost.
Q: Do you offer bulk customization for the internal filters?
A: Yes, for B2B wholesale orders we can provide tailored adjustments, including integrating specific 650nm IR-cut glass, 850nm/940nm pass filters, or completely clear optical glass depending on your product matrix.
