Applications & Compatibility
Core Applications
This professional-grade M12 fisheye lens is purpose-built for environments requiring expansive spatial awareness and micro-space installation. It excels as an automotive lens for 360-degree around-view monitoring (AVM), electronic rearview mirrors, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) where capturing peripheral data is safety-critical. Additionally, its lightweight profile makes it an excellent choice for drone & UAV lenses used in agricultural mapping, structural inspection, and autonomous navigation. In smart city frameworks, it serves as a high-performance CCTV lens for wide-area intersection monitoring, retail analytics, and smart video doorbells, delivering crisp imaging even at a close focus distance of 0.1 meters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this 16MP M12 lens be used on smaller sensor sizes like 1/2.7″ or 1/3″?
A: Yes, it is fully backward compatible. When used with smaller sensors, the lens will function perfectly, though the final Field of View (FOV) will narrow slightly based on the sensor’s crop factor.
Q: Does this wide angle lens include an IR-cut filter?
A: Yes, the lens features a built-in 5G1M+IRCF structure, which includes an integrated Infrared Cut Filter (IRCF) to block infrared light during daylight, ensuring accurate color reproduction.
Q: Is the focal length adjustable on this specific model?
A: No, this is a fixed focal lens with a set focal length of 3.0mm. Focus can be calibrated during installation by screwing the M12 mount deeper or shallower into your camera’s lens holder.
Q: What does “< 63% distortion” mean for a fisheye lens?
A: For an ultra-wide fisheye lens with a 150° field of view, optical distortion is natural. A metric of < 63% indicates controlled f-theta distortion, allowing standard de-warping algorithms to easily straighten the image via software.
Q: Is this lens rugged enough to be used as an outdoor automotive lens or on a UAV?
A: Absolutely. The all-glass and metal design, combined with its compliance with ISO9001 and RoHS standards, ensures high thermal stability and shock resistance for harsh outdoor and high-vibration environments.
Q: Can I customize the mount or the IR filter coating for specialized industrial projects?
A: Yes, we provide OEM/ODM customization services. We can adjust the IR filter wavelength, modify the mechanical barrels, or tailor the optical performance to match your specific hardware requirements.
