The Marshall V-PL100/CS12 is a wide angle pinhole lens with a CS-mount for covert surveillance applications. With its 10 mm wide focal length, the lens renders a 27° horizontal angle of view. The f/4.0 aperture allows for low lighting environments. It can capture images of an entire room through a tiny 1/10-inch hole in a wall or ceiling. In addition to CS-mount the V-PL100/CS12 can also be mounted on the Marshall 12mm micro mount cameras.

The Marshall pinhole lenses create an amazing advantage when you need to have surveillance locations as discretely as possible. The front element of the lens is minute. The lens front dimension is an impossible 0.1 inch in diameter or about 2.5 mm. It can easily be placed in a drop ceiling or through a wall and attached to a Marshall bullet camera with a CS mount or even a Marshall board camera with a 12mm micro mount. It can mount on both. It can also be mounted on 1/4-inch CCD cameras that would decrease the 27mm horizontal angle of view to about 20°.
