Fisheye Lens for Surveillance and All-Sky Cameras

All-Sky 1.5mm M12 Fisheye Lens

This 1.5mm F/1.8 miniature fisheye lens is ideal for 180deg+ All Sky and Surveillance Camera applications. The low F/#, combined with no IR filter, makes this lens great for applications utilizing IR cut off switchers and at night for star imaging. This lens provides a 190 degree Vertical Field of View on the IMX477 series sensor. This is equivalent to a 8.0mm lens used on a 35mm full frame camera. This lens is compatible with the off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera when using a M12-CS or M12-C mount adapter.

Performance Benchmark

Objectively characterizing the performance of a camera requires dozens of different metrics. While all of these are looked at by professional camera engineers, many are unnecessary for hobbyist component selection when a predetermined image sensor issued. For entry level camera engineering sake, we recommend starting with four first order system performance metrics: sharpness, color, shading and field of view.
