The invention provides a monitoring lens, which comprises a first lens group, a second lens group and a diaphragm, and is characterized in that the first lens group sequentially comprises a first lens with negative focal power, a second lens with positive focal power and a third lens with negative focal power from an object side to an imaging plane; the second lens group comprises a fourth lens with positive focal power, a fifth lens with positive focal power and a sixth lens with negative focal power from the object side to the imaging plane; the first lens, the second lens and the fifth lens adopt a glass spherical lens, the third lens, the fourth lens and the sixth lens adopt a plastic aspherical lens, and the optical centers of the lenses are located on the same straight line. According to the invention, three plastic aspherical lenses are adopted, so that the number of lenses is reduced, and the length, the weight and the manufacturing cost of the lenses are reduced; and the aberration of the lens is enabled to be effectively corrected through matching and combining the lenses of different materials, the reasonable focal power and the air gap distribution, and the monitoring lens has the advantages that small focus shift is generated at high and low temperatures and the like.
