Lens question

[Zohan 1]

So comparing analog to ip box camera, the difference is in the camera not the lens, correct?

I can use same lens for both if they are both cs mount?

The lens has to be megapixel rated. (Higher quality optics)

Yes, you CAN use the same lens. No, it does not HAVE to be classified as a "megapixel" lens.

 

For best results however, a megapixel camera SHOULD have a megapixel lens.

As soundy already said. You can always use the same lens. But megapixel lenses will offer better results with megapixel camera's.

thanks...after i posted i looked a little more and saw there were specific mp lenses....thank you guys....

 

what do you guys think about everfocus box cameras...both analog and mp...?

Not in all cases "megapixel" lens is better. Standard fixed focal length lenses can have really better resolution than Varifocal megapixel ones.

i dont see everfocus has a specific 'megapixel' lens, thats why i though the lens would work with both box cams...
