Product Overview
For installers deploying Axis network cameras across multi-unit projects, the Axis Lens M12 2.8mm F1.6 IR is supplied in a convenient 10-pack designed to streamline procurement and reduce per-unit accessory costs. This fixed focal length M12-mount lens is the default optic for the AXIS P3925-R and AXIS P3935-LR network cameras, delivering a 113-degree horizontal field of view suited to wide-angle monitoring applications. Featuring an F1.6 maximum aperture and IR-optimised optics, the lens supports effective imaging in low-light and night vision-capable camera systems. The fixed 2.8mm focal length provides a broad scene capture angle well suited to confined spaces, corridors, in-vehicle environments, and indoor areas where wide coverage from a single camera position is the priority. Purchasing as a 10-pack makes this lens a practical choice for multi-site installers, systems integrators, and service teams maintaining a stock of replacement optics.
Key Capabilities
113° Wide-Angle Field of View
The 2.8mm fixed focal length produces a 113-degree horizontal field of view, capturing a broad scene from a single mounting position. This suits confined or narrow environments where wider coverage is needed without repositioning the camera.
F1.6 Maximum Aperture
An F1.6 aperture allows more light to reach the image sensor compared to higher F-number lenses, supporting improved low-light imaging performance when paired with compatible Axis camera systems in dimly lit or transitional lighting conditions.
IR-Optimised Optics
The lens optics are designed to work with IR illumination, reducing focus shift and chromatic aberration that standard lenses can introduce under infrared light. This keeps night vision footage sharp when used with IR-capable camera systems.
M12 Mount – 10-Pack Quantity
Supplied as a 10-pack with a standard M12 board lens mount, this product is built for professional installers managing volume deployments, spare parts inventory, or multi-camera site builds using compatible Axis network cameras.
Best For
- AXIS P3925-R and P3935-LR Deployments: This is the confirmed default lens for both the AXIS P3925-R and AXIS P3935-LR cameras, making it the first choice for maintenance replacements, spare stock, or new multi-unit installations using those models.
- Multi-Site and Volume Installations: The 10-pack format suits systems integrators and commercial installers who need to outfit multiple camera positions or maintain a serviceability stock without placing repeated individual orders.
- Wide-Angle Coverage Scenarios: The 113-degree HFoV at 2.8mm is well matched to corridors, in-vehicle interiors, narrow indoor spaces, and confined mounting positions where a tighter focal length would leave blind spots.
Why Choose the Axis Lens M12 2.8mm F1.6 IR
The Axis Lens M12 2.8mm F1.6 IR is not a generic board lens. It is an IR-optimised optic with a confirmed F1.6 aperture and 113-degree horizontal field of view, manufactured to work correctly with the AXIS P3925-R and AXIS P3935-LR camera platforms. A standard M12 lens without IR correction can introduce focus shift under infrared illumination, reducing image sharpness in night vision conditions. The F1.6 aperture also offers a meaningful light-gathering advantage over slower lenses typically bundled with lower-cost alternatives. Buying in a 10-pack reduces procurement overhead for installers running multi-camera deployments, service fleets, or projects that require on-site spare lenses. The 02012-001 is part of the Security Wholesalers range of professional Axis accessories, backed by the genuine Axis supply chain for verified compatibility with supported camera models.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm the focal length before ordering: The M12 lens format is available in multiple focal lengths ranging from wide-angle to telephoto. The 2.8mm option gives a 113-degree horizontal field of view, which works well for close to mid-range wide coverage but will not suit long-distance narrow-angle monitoring. If your camera positions require a tighter field of view to reach a distant subject, a longer focal length in the M12 range is likely a better fit. Always match the focal length choice to the mounting distance and scene width you need to cover.

Ideal Use Cases
In-Vehicle Camera Systems
The AXIS P3925-R is a vehicle-hardened network camera and this 2.8mm lens is its confirmed default optic. The wide 113-degree HFoV suits in-vehicle interior coverage from a ceiling or overhead mounting position in buses, trains, and fleet vehicles.
Corridor and Tunnel Monitoring
As the default lens for the AXIS P3935-LR, this optic is matched to corridor and tunnel camera deployments. The fixed 2.8mm focal length covers the width of a passage from a single mounting point, reducing the number of cameras required per corridor run.
Multi-Camera Volume Projects
The 10-pack format is suited to commercial integrators equipping large sites with multiple AXIS P3925-R or P3935-LR camera positions. Ordering by pack reduces per-unit cost and simplifies procurement logistics across staged or multi-building rollouts.
Field Service and Spare Parts Inventory
Service technicians maintaining fleets of AXIS P3925-R or P3935-LR cameras benefit from holding spare 02012-001 lenses on-hand. The 10-pack format allows teams to carry replacement optics for fast on-site lens swaps without waiting on individual part orders.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are deploying or servicing AXIS P3925-R or AXIS P3935-LR cameras and need the confirmed default 2.8mm wide-angle optic, or you require a 10-pack quantity of IR-optimised M12 lenses for a volume installation project.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires a narrower field of view to cover a greater distance, such as monitoring a long open car park lane or a distant entry point. In that case, a longer focal length in the M12 lens range is likely more appropriate for the coverage geometry required.
FAQs
- Which Axis cameras is this lens confirmed to work with?
The Axis Lens M12 2.8mm F1.6 IR (02012-001) is the confirmed default lens for the AXIS P3925-R and AXIS P3935-LR network cameras. It is an M12-mount lens and may fit other M12-compatible camera boards, but compatibility beyond these two confirmed models is not published by Axis for this part number.
- What is the field of view this lens produces?
At 2.8mm focal length, this lens delivers a 113-degree horizontal field of view. This is a wide-angle coverage angle suited to close-range scenes, in-vehicle interiors, corridors, and other confined spaces where broad scene capture from a fixed mounting position is the goal.
- Why does IR optimisation matter in a camera lens?
Standard lenses can experience a focus shift when switching between visible light and infrared illumination, causing night vision footage to appear softer or out of focus. IR-optimised optics like this 2.8mm lens are engineered to maintain focus across both visible and infrared wavelengths, keeping images sharp during night-time or low-light recording.
- Is the 10-pack a single SKU or ordered as individual units?
The 02012-001 is a single SKU supplied as a pack of 10 lenses. This format is intended for professional installers, systems integrators, and service organisations that need multiple lenses at once rather than ordering one at a time. Available through Security Wholesalers as a standard stocking item.
- Can I use this lens to change the field of view on a camera that came with a different focal length?
If your existing M12-mount camera is compatible and currently fitted with a different focal length lens, substituting this 2.8mm optic will widen the field of view. However, Axis only confirms this specific lens as the default for the P3925-R and P3935-LR. For any other camera model, verify M12 thread pitch and sensor size compatibility before substituting lenses.
