Description

The Arducam LN180 M12 Mount Camera Lens (M40180H13L) is an engineered optical component designed for embedded machine vision and surveillance systems. Its 4.0mm focal length and ultra-wide 180-degree diagonal field of view allow for capturing extensive areas without the need for multiple cameras, reducing system complexity and cost.

Constructed with a compact M12 threaded mount, this lens is mechanically robust and easily interchangeable on compatible camera sensor boards. The optical design is tuned for high sharpness and clarity, with an integrated 650nm IR filter that optimizes sensitivity for visible light applications while providing some infrared cutoff. This makes it suitable for deployment in varying lighting conditions common in security, smart home automation, and industrial monitoring setups.

Key Features

  • Ultra-Wide-Angle Imaging: 180° diagonal field of view for maximum scene coverage.
  • Standard M12 Mount: Universal screw-type interface for secure attachment to camera modules.
  • High Optical Performance: Delivers sharp, clear images with minimal distortion at the edges.
  • Compact Form Factor: Minimal footprint (14mm x 14.7mm) ideal for space-constrained embedded designs.
  • Visible Light Optimized: Features a 650nm IR filter for accurate color reproduction in daylight conditions.
  • Lightweight Construction: Weighs only 6 grams, adding negligible mass to portable or drone-mounted systems.

Applications

  • Security & Surveillance Cameras: For wide-area monitoring in home, retail, or industrial settings.
  • Embedded Vision for IoT: Panoramic imaging on Raspberry Pi, ESP32, or Jetson-based projects.
  • Smart Home & Doorbell Cameras: Provides a broad view of entryways and rooms.
  • Drone & Robotics Vision: Lightweight lens for aerial photography and navigation.
  • Industrial Machine Vision: Inspection and monitoring over a wide conveyor or workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cameras is this Arducam LN180 M12 lens compatible with?

This lens is compatible with any camera module featuring a standard M12 (S-mount) threaded lens holder. This includes many Arducam sensor boards, Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2 (with adapter), and various USB webcams or industrial vision sensors that utilize an M12 interface. Ensure your camera's sensor size matches the 1/4" optical format for optimal performance.

How do I install and focus this M12 lens on my camera module?

To install, simply screw the lens clockwise into the M12 threaded mount on your camera module. To focus, gently rotate the lens barrel while observing a live video feed from the camera pointed at a detailed subject at your desired working distance. Tighten the lens once sharp focus is achieved. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the threads. For fixed-focus applications, set the focus at the hyperfocal distance for maximum depth of field.

What is the difference between the 4.0mm and 1.8mm focal length specs?

The 4.0mm specification refers to the actual physical focal length of the lens. The 1.8mm 'effective focal length' is calculated based on the lens's optical design and the 1/4" sensor size, describing its field of view equivalence. The 35mm equivalent focal length is 19.5mm, which helps photographers understand the wide-angle perspective. The key takeaway is the 180-degree ultra-wide field of view it provides on small sensors.
