Lens AXIS 02009-001 M12 mount, 1/2.7 inch sensor, 40° horizontal view, outdoor, black (pack of 10)

AXIS 02009-001 is a replacement M12-mount lens intended for security and surveillance cameras with 1/2.7" image sensors. The lens delivers a 40° horizontal field of view (approximately 22° vertical) and is supplied in black as a pack of 10 pieces. Designed for outdoor use, this lens provides a mid-narrow viewing angle suitable for focused monitoring tasks and is compatible with cameras that accept M12 lens modules.

Advantages

The lens offers a defined 40° horizontal field of view that supports medium-telephoto framing without cropping digital image area. Its M12 mount enables straightforward replacement or upgrade in compatible camera housings. Packaged in sets of ten, the product is convenient for installations that require multiple identical lenses, reducing procurement time and ensuring consistent image geometry across multiple units.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This lens is not suitable for cameras with sensor sizes other than 1/2.7" or for systems that require very wide-angle coverage; the 40° horizontal angle is mid-narrow and will not capture large scene areas in a single frame. It may also be incompatible with cameras that use different lens mounts or integrated zoom optics.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the lens by screwing it into the camera’s M12 lens holder until the optical focus and field of view are approximately set. Fine-focus the lens while viewing live video from the camera, adjusting position and rotation to eliminate tilt or vignetting. If the camera has an IR cut filter or removable IR functionality, verify compatibility and, if applicable, remove any temporary protective covers. After focus and alignment, secure the lens and weatherproof the camera housing according to the camera manufacturer’s instructions for outdoor installations.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For consistent results across a multi-camera deployment, fit identical lenses to each camera and perform on-site focus and alignment with live feed verification. Use appropriate weather seals and anti-reflection measures on housings to maintain image quality in outdoor environments.
