M12 Lenses
Photo to be provided by the client. No product or factory photo is shown on this page.
M12 lenses are compact lenses for board cameras and other small camera modules, where the lens must fit a small board-mounted arrangement rather than a full-size camera body. This page covers the M12 lens category as listed by Hangzhou Ai Ke Electronics Co., Ltd., under its listed name M12 Board Lens.
The defining feature of this category is size and fitting: a board lens is chosen first for whether it fits the module it will sit on, and only then for the view it gives. Buyers should therefore describe the board camera or module in the inquiry, not just the scene they want to watch.
What this category covers
This category covers M12 lenses in general. Narrower pages on this site pair the M12 family with particular jobs: M12 mount lenses, M12 camera lenses, M12 board lenses, M12 wide-angle lenses, M12 macro lenses, M12 autofocus lenses and M12 telephoto lenses. Each of those pages is a pairing page for buyers who already know which combination they need, while this page is the general entry point.
No model, dimension or other specification is published on this page. The M12 name is used here as the category name in the company's listed range, and any dimensional or optical detail must be confirmed for the exact lens concerned.
Where M12 lenses are used
Board cameras and small camera modules appear in compact equipment, embedded vision setups, small surveillance units and custom devices where a full-size camera would not fit. The lens in such a setup is part of a small assembly, so the buyer, the module maker and the lens supplier need to agree on the fitting before anything else.
Typical questions for a board lens inquiry include the module the lens will be fitted to, the space available around it, the scene it must cover, and whether the focus or the field of view must change after fitting. The answers to those questions decide which pairing page, if any, is the right next step.
What to confirm before ordering
Confirm the fitting against the buyer's board camera or module, confirm the model and specifications in writing, and confirm the minimum order quantity, lead time and price for the quantity required. Where the lens must focus by itself or adjust its field of view, the autofocus and wide-angle pairing pages describe those needs in more detail.
Documents should be confirmed at the same time. Certificates available upon request. No certificate detail is stated on this site.
