Target Applications & Compatible Devices
Core Application Scenarios
This industrial-grade 184° IR corrected fisheye lens is built for extreme monitoring environments requiring an expanded spatial field from a single sensor placement. In commercial sectors, it powers ceiling-mounted 360-degree CCTV panoramic security cameras, high-ceiling logistics sorting warehouses, and retail anti-theft matrices. For intelligent transit systems, it provides exceptional stability for ITS traffic monitoring lanes and automotive surround-view setups, providing continuous perimeter tracking for larger commercial fleets and heavy machinery. Additionally, its tight 0.1m M.O.D. renders it invaluable for drone & UAV autonomous navigation, automated guided vehicle (AGV) path mapping, and high-speed robotic machine vision sorting assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is an IR Corrected lens necessary for my 3MP camera setup?
A: Standard lenses suffer from focus drift when switching from daytime light to nighttime infrared light because different light wavelengths refract differently. This IR corrected lens uses specialized optics to lock both focal points on the exact same plane, keeping your 3MP 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 with 1/2.7″ and 1/2.8″ sensors. Smaller sensors crop Φ5.4mm optical circle, narrowing diagonal, horizontal & vertical FOV below 184°.
Q: What type of software processing does a -99% distortion require?
A: A -99% distortion means the lens creates a classic spherical fisheye image view. Your ISP/software backend needs a standard de‑warping algorithm for flat rectangular video streams.
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.
