Frequently asked questions
What sensors does the CIL716 2.2mm M7 lens support?
The CIL716 supports 1/3″ to 1/2.9″ sensors such as the GC2093 at 1MP resolution across a 6.3mm image circle.
How small is the CIL716 M7 lens?
10.5mm x 10.5mm footprint at 0.9 grams. This M7x0.35 threaded lens fits doorbell cameras, IoT devices, USB cameras, and other space-constrained embedded systems.
Is the CIL716 compatible with M12 mount cameras?
No. The CIL716 uses M7x0.35 threading, which is smaller than M12x0.5. It is not compatible with Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S, or Basler Dart cameras. Use the Commonlands CLA718 M7 lens holder or an iDS uEye LE Rev1.1 board.
What is the distortion on the CIL716 wide-angle M7 lens?
+8% F-Theta, which is a mild pincushion distortion. Moderate for a 160° wide-angle lens. The pincushion effect slightly expands edge content, which can help in surveillance applications.
Does the CIL716 M7 lens ship same day from the US?
Yes. Orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from our San Diego warehouse.
Can the CIL716 be used in outdoor applications?
Not recommended without an enclosure. The CIL716 has no ingress protection rating. For outdoor wide-angle applications requiring IP67 or IP69K, consider an M12 lens like the CIL384 or CIL329 instead.
