OmniVision OV9282 · 1.0MP 1/4" global-shutter CMOS image sensor
OV9282 Sensor Specifications & Compatible M12 and C-Mount Lenses
OV9282 is an OmniVision 1/4-inch global-shutter CMOS image sensor in the OmniPixel3-GS family, built for machine vision and motion capture. It is a 1MP 1280x800 monochrome sensor with NIR sensitivity and 3um pixels, hitting 120 fps over MIPI CSI-2 or DVP for distortion-free fast-motion imaging. Commonlands pairs M12 Lenses to its 4.53mm image circle and calculates the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view.

Compatible Commonlands Lenses for the OV9282 with Calculated Field of View
Each field of view below is calculated for the OV9282 active area (3.84 × 2.4 mm) from Commonlands’ per-lens field-of-view data, which reflects each lens’s real distortion rather than a focal-length-only estimate. Alongside the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal field of view, each row lists the lens aperture (F#), distortion, ingress protection, total track length (TTL), and rated resolution, so you can shortlist on optics and mechanics in one pass. Coverage shows whether the lens image circle covers the 4.53 mm sensor diagonal. Only lenses that cover the full diagonal are listed. Run exact working-distance and object-size numbers through the field of view calculator.
Engineering picks for the OV9282
- Best ~30° HFoV: 7.2mm M12 Lens (CIL872) (7.2 mm, f/2.8). Why: the closest covering option to 30° horizontal, chosen for tight inspection framing and long read ranges. Field of view on the OV9282: 30° H × 19° V (35° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
- Best ~60° HFoV: Wide-Angle 3.6mm M12 Lens (CIL337) (3.6 mm, f/1.6). Why: the closest covering option to 60° horizontal, chosen for general-purpose machine-vision framing. Field of view on the OV9282: 63° H × 39° V (76° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
- Best ~120° HFoV: Fisheye 1.8mm M12 Lens (CIL220) (1.8 mm, f/2.3). Why: the closest covering option to 120° horizontal, chosen for wide navigation and room-scale coverage. Field of view on the OV9282: 122° H × 76° V (144° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
- Lowest distortion: Low Distortion 4.4mm M12 Lens (CIL043) (4.4 mm, f/3.2). Why: measured -0.5% TV distortion, the flattest image among covering lenses. Field of view on the OV9282: 47° H × 31° V (55° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
- Best low light: 8mm C-Mount Lens (CIL521) (8 mm, f/1.5). Why: the fastest covering aperture (f/1.5), which collects the most light per pixel. Field of view on the OV9282: 27° H × 17° V (32° diagonal). The image circle covers the full sensor (verified 2026-07-02).
Find a lens for the OV9282 in the M12 Lens collection or the C-Mount Lens collection. The covering options below run from 0.8 mm to 100 mm focal length and span 2° to 198° horizontal field of view on the OV9282 active area.
Covers in the table means the lens image circle is at least as large as the 4.53 mm sensor diagonal, so the corners are not cropped. Need a focal length or coverage that is not listed here? Ask our engineers to confirm a match.
How to choose a lens for the OV9282
Start from the field of view your application needs, then read across to the focal length that produces it on the OV9282. Confirm the lens image circle covers the 4.53 mm diagonal so the corners are not cropped, and check the lens resolution is rated for 1.0 MP or higher so it resolves the 3.0 µm pixels. For exact working-distance and object-size numbers, run the figures through the Commonlands field of view calculator.
