Description
Our 16mm 5MP M12 fixed focal low distortion IR corrected lens is a premium multi-format compatible board lens engineered for industrial machine vision and CCTV security monitoring applications. Optimized for 1/2″,1/1.8″,2/3″ image sensors, this fixed iris F2.0 aperture lens delivers ultra-low distortion below 0.3% with calibrated IR correction to eliminate infrared color shift during day-night switching. Featuring compact Φ14×16mm mini dimension and short MOD of 0.3m, this M12 machine vision lens solves common industry pain points including oversized lens installation space, distorted captured images, poor infrared restoration and inaccurate close-range object identification. It combines rigorous optical polishing and standardized mechanical processing to satisfy high-definition imaging needs across industrial inspection, smart security and embedded vision equipment, standing out from generic high-distortion conventional M12 CCTV lenses on the market.
Key Product Highlights
Field of View & Focal Length Advantages
Customized 16mm fixed focal length with diagonal 29°, horizontal23°, vertical17.5° field of view balances moderate shooting range and target magnification; avoids over-narrow FOV missing peripheral details or ultra-wide-angle severe distortion that troubles most generic fixed focal M12 lenses.
Premium Optical Performance
<0.3% ultra-low distortion + full IR correction eliminates image edge stretching and IR chromatic aberration, fixing the blurred, deformed frame issue of ordinary surveillance lenses under mixed visible/IR lighting.
Wide Multi-Sensor Compatibility
Supports three mainstream sensor formats (1/2″,1/1.8″,2/3″) in one single lens, removes buyers’ trouble of stocking multiple lens models for different camera sensor sizes to cut inventory cost.
Compact Reliable Build Quality
Mini Φ14×16mm compact body with fixed F2.0 aperture & fixed iris design, no loose aperture shifting during long-term vibration operation, ideal for narrow-space embedded equipment installation without extra structural modification.

Product Application Scenarios and Compatible Devices
Core Application Scenarios
Primarily deployed for industrial machine vision dimensional inspection, factory assembly line part identification, indoor commercial CCTV surveillance, small-sized intelligent IoT security cameras, automated equipment visual positioning and semi-enclosed cabinet internal monitoring equipment. Its ultra-low distortion feature ensures precise dimensional data collection during industrial visual measurement, while compact dimension fits tightly inside miniaturized embedded camera modules with limited inner installation space; IR correction enables stable round-the-clock monitoring without color deviation under infrared supplementary lighting, avoiding frequent lens replacement caused by poor low-light imaging of regular lenses. This lens is also applicable for small equipment embedded visual recognition in intelligent access control terminals and compact industrial automation sensors, filling the market gap of high-precision low-distortion compact M12 fixed focal lenses for mid-range industrial and security fields.
Compatible Devices List
Compatible with CMOS image sensors in 1/2″,1/1.8″ and 2/3″ formats from mainstream global sensor manufacturers; perfectly adapted to domestic and overseas modular CCTV camera boards, industrial embedded machine vision cameras, Tuya-based smart security camera modules, small-size access control identification cameras and customized OEM miniature surveillance equipment. We support focal length and FOV customization service to match non-standard camera module development demands from equipment manufacturers, helping clients finish rapid product iteration without redesigning camera structural space.
Designed for industrial machine vision & mid-range CCTV security application.
FAQs
Q: Can this 16mm M12 lens work with 1/3 inch image sensors?
A: It is optimized for 1/2″,1/1.8″,2/3″ sensors; it can physically mount on 1/3″ sensors but FOV will shrink, we recommend custom-tuned lens if fixed on 1/3 inch chips.
Q: Does fixed F2.0 aperture affect low-light shooting performance?
A: F2.0 large fixed aperture guarantees sufficient light intake; paired with IR correction coating, it maintains clear imaging under low ambient illumination without extra aperture adjustment operation.
Q: What’s the advantage of<0.3% low distortion versus regular M12 lenses with 2%-5% distortion?
A: Ultra-low distortion keeps edge pixel geometric accuracy, critical for industrial dimensional measurement to avoid erroneous inspection data caused by image deformation.
Q: Is custom modification available for lens dimension or BFL?
A: Yes, we accept OEM customization on back focal length and outline size for bulk order clients to match exclusive camera housing.
