Product Overview
For installers deploying multiple AXIS P3925-R or P3935-LR cameras across a fleet or multi-site project, this 2.1mm M12 Fixed Lens from Axis Communications provides an ultra-wide 148-degree horizontal field of view in a compact, purpose-built optic. Supplied as a 10-pack with a lens tool included, this accessory is designed for integrators who need a consistent wide-angle view across a large number of camera units without sourcing lenses individually. Featuring an F/1.8 aperture and IR-corrected construction, the lens is built for use with day/night cameras that use a removable IR-cut filter, ensuring sharpness is maintained across both visible and infrared light spectrums. With a 2.1mm focal length on a 1/2.7-inch sensor, it delivers a 79-degree vertical field of view alongside the 148-degree horizontal spread, making it well suited to tight or wide-span environments where broad scene capture from a single fixed camera position is required.
Key Capabilities
148-Degree Horizontal Field of View
The 2.1mm focal length produces an ultra-wide 148-degree HFoV, capturing broad scene coverage from a single fixed camera position. This reduces reliance on additional camera units to cover wide interior or exterior spans on compatible Axis installations.
IR-Corrected Optic
Designed without an IR-cut filter and built to work with day/night cameras that use a removable IR-cut filter, this lens maintains optical focus accuracy across both visible and infrared wavelengths, preventing the focus shift that can occur with standard lenses under IR illumination.
F/1.8 Aperture
The wide F/1.8 aperture allows more light to reach the sensor compared to slower optics, supporting image performance in lower-light conditions. This is particularly relevant for in-vehicle or enclosed environments where lighting can be inconsistent.
10-Pack with Lens Tool
Sold as a pack of 10 lenses with an installation lens tool included, this format is designed for trade and project-volume purchasing. It simplifies procurement for integrators fitting multiple AXIS P3925-R or P3935-LR cameras across a single or multi-site deployment.
M12 Mount, Compact Form Factor
The M12 lens mount is standard for many board-level and miniature cameras used in constrained installations. At 19mm length and 16mm diameter, the lens itself is physically small, suiting tight housing configurations typical of in-vehicle camera installations.
Best For
- Fleet or Transit Installations: The 10-pack format and ultra-wide 148-degree HFoV suit integrators fitting multiple AXIS P3925-R or P3935-LR cameras across buses, trains, or fleet vehicles where broad interior coverage from a single fixed lens position is needed.
- Project-Volume Purchasing: Trade buyers fitting more than a handful of compatible Axis cameras benefit from bulk lens procurement rather than sourcing individual units, with the included lens tool supporting consistent installation across the batch.
- Day/Night Environments with IR Illumination: The IR-corrected construction ensures focus is maintained when IR illumination is active on compatible AXIS day/night cameras, avoiding image softness that can occur with non-corrected lenses used under IR light.
Why Choose the Axis 02006-001 2.1mm M12 Lens 10-Pack
This lens is not a general-purpose accessory. It is specified directly by Axis Communications for use with the AXIS P3925-R and AXIS P3935-LR, meaning the optical characteristics, M12 mount dimensions, and IR-correction are matched to the sensor size and day/night architecture of those specific cameras. A generic M12 lens at 2.1mm may produce a similar field of view on paper, but without IR correction confirmed for the target sensor, focus accuracy under infrared illumination cannot be guaranteed. The F/1.8 aperture adds real value in lower-light scenes without relying solely on camera gain. Purchasing the 10-pack reduces per-unit cost on larger deployments and ensures every camera in a fleet or multi-site project receives an identical, manufacturer-specified optic. Available at Security Wholesalers, the 02006-001 is a practical choice for integrators who need optical consistency and manufacturer confidence across a full camera run.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Camera Compatibility Before Ordering: This lens is confirmed compatible with the AXIS P3925-R and AXIS P3935-LR only. If you are working with a different Axis camera model, verify M12 mount compatibility and sensor size (1/2.7-inch) before purchasing, as lens performance is optimised for the specified platforms. Ordering a 10-pack for a mixed camera deployment without confirming compatibility across all models risks mismatch.
Consider Whether Ultra-Wide Coverage Suits the Scene: At 148 degrees HFoV, this lens is best where wide scene capture is the goal, such as vehicle interiors, open foyers, or corridor overviews. If the installation requires longer-distance identification rather than broad scene capture, a narrower focal length lens will produce better subject detail at range on the same camera platform.

Ideal Use Cases
Bus and Rail Vehicle Interiors
The 148-degree HFoV allows a single AXIS P3925-R or P3935-LR camera fitted with this lens to cover a wide passenger cabin span, reducing the number of camera units required per vehicle while maintaining broad scene visibility.
Fleet Maintenance and Fitout Projects
Integrators outfitting an entire vehicle fleet with AXIS P3925-R or P3935-LR cameras can use the 10-pack format to procure lenses at project scale, ensuring each unit receives the same manufacturer-specified optic without individual sourcing delays.
Mixed Lighting or Night-Active Environments
The F/1.8 aperture and IR-corrected construction make this lens suitable for environments where lighting varies or IR illumination is active, maintaining consistent optical performance without the focus shift common in non-corrected lenses.
Replacement and Spares Stock for Existing Installations
For operators already running AXIS P3925-R or P3935-LR camera systems, the 10-pack provides a practical spares holding to support ongoing maintenance, lens replacement, or future camera additions without waiting on individual unit lead times.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are deploying AXIS P3925-R or P3935-LR cameras and need an ultra-wide 148-degree horizontal field of view with a confirmed IR-corrected optic, and you are purchasing at a volume that justifies the 10-pack format.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires longer-range subject detail rather than wide-angle scene capture, as a narrower focal length lens will produce better identification performance at distance on the same compatible camera. If you need only 1 or 2 lenses and the 10-pack quantity does not suit your project scope, consider whether this pack quantity aligns with your current purchasing need.
FAQs
- Which cameras is this lens confirmed compatible with?
This lens is confirmed by Axis Communications for use with the AXIS P3925-R and AXIS P3935-LR network cameras. It is designed for 1/2.7-inch sensors and uses an M12 mount. Compatibility with other Axis camera models is not confirmed in the manufacturer specification for this lens.
- What does IR-corrected mean for this lens, and why does it matter?
IR correction means the lens maintains its optical focus point across both visible and infrared wavelengths. Standard lenses can shift focus when a camera switches from visible to IR light, resulting in softer images at night. Because the AXIS P3925-R and P3935-LR are day/night cameras with removable IR-cut filters, using an IR-corrected lens ensures consistent sharpness whether the camera is operating in daylight or IR-illuminated conditions.
- Does the 148-degree HFoV mean this lens is suitable for capturing detail at distance?
No. At 2.1mm focal length, the ultra-wide field of view is designed for broad scene capture rather than long-range subject detail. Objects at distance will appear proportionally small within the frame. This lens suits applications where wide coverage from a single camera position is the priority, such as vehicle interiors or open areas observed at close to medium range.
- What is included in the 10-pack and how are the lenses installed?
Each pack contains 10 individual lenses and a lens tool for installation. The lens tool assists with fitting the M12 mount lens correctly into the camera housing. Axis provides installation guidance for the compatible camera models. No additional tools are specified as required beyond what is included in the pack.
- Can I purchase fewer than 10 lenses if I only need a small quantity?
This product is sold as a 10-pack (SKU 02006-001) through Security Wholesalers. If your project requires fewer lenses, consider whether a 10-pack purchase aligns with your volume, or whether holding the remaining lenses as spares stock suits your ongoing maintenance needs for a P3925-R or P3935-LR deployment.
- Does this lens have any electronic components, IP rating, or power requirement?
No. This is a purely optical accessory with no electronic components, no IP weather rating, and no power requirement. It is a fixed focal length, fixed iris, fixed focus M12 glass optic. All electronic, power, and weather protection specifications apply to the camera it is installed in, not the lens itself.
