i-PRO PLM12MP120/10 M12-Mount Megapixel Lens 10 Pack
Overview
The PLM12MP120/10 is a bulk pack of ten 1/3" 12mm F1.8 M12-mount lenses engineered for i-PRO surveillance cameras with matching sensor and mount specs. The 12mm focal length on a 1/3" sensor yields approximately 31° horizontal coverage—a sweet spot for mid-range corridor, retail, and loading-dock monitoring where you need usable detail without excessive wide-angle distortion. This pack format targets multi-camera deployments where lens standardization matters: consistent field of view across identical installation positions, predictable performance, and no guessing about optics mismatch.
The F1.8 aperture is the critical spec here. Compared to F2.0 or F2.8 lenses, F1.8 admits substantially more light to the sensor—roughly 77% more light than F2.8. That translates to usable low-light detail without forcing extended exposures or excessive gain, which would otherwise crush dynamic range and bloom motion artifacts. If your deployment spans dawn/dusk shifts or overcast warehouse floors with marginal ambient light, the aperture difference is not academic—it's the difference between forensic-grade footage and noise-dominated images.
Compatibility
These lenses are exclusively engineered for i-PRO surveillance cameras equipped with 1/3" megapixel sensors and M12 threaded mount interfaces. Before ordering, verify your camera's sensor format and mount type—1/3" is typical in compact domes and bullets, but larger sensors (1/2.8") or different mounts (C-mount, fixed-lens designs) require different optics. Consult your camera's datasheet to confirm both specs. The 10-pack format is economical only for medium-to-large multi-camera rollouts; single-unit or smaller quantities may be available separately if you need fewer lenses.
Installation Notes
M12 mounts use a threaded mechanical interface that requires careful hand-threading to avoid cross-threading the brass mount on the camera body. Thread slowly and evenly; if you feel resistance, back off and restart. Over-torquing risks stripping the mount or damaging internal optics. No special tools are required, but a steady hand and patience prevent expensive field failures.
