Mavrik 0 Posted February 12, 2012 Would anyone know what lens mount is on these cheapy IP cameras? Is there just a board camera in these? I would like to know if I can change the lens easily before getting one. One of these in there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mavrik 0 Posted February 12, 2012 I only need to be able to see if objects are in the scene. Need a stronger lens because of the distance. This is just a short term use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dolladave 0 Posted February 13, 2012 I don't have a clue about the camera but you can take it apart and see. That's the best way to make sure your ordering the correct lens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mavrik 0 Posted February 13, 2012 I have not purchased one, I want to know what's in it before hand and what is readily available in lenses so I know I can change it for my app. Surely I can't be the only one that modifies OEM stuff here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted February 13, 2012 That's essentially a toy camera... most people here deal with professional gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaxIcon 0 Posted February 13, 2012 Most of these have board cam lenses (usually M12 thread), but there are always exceptions in the low-end cam market, and you never know until you try. In general, the cheapest way to lens a camera like this is to use an inexpensive board cam lens, so that's what they do. The good news is you can buy a single lens, or sets of 3 or more lenses, cheaply from ebay, amazon, or dealextreme, if you want to test some different ranges. I'm guessing the quality isn't great, but that comes with the price range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beckosecurity 0 Posted February 14, 2012 The best way to buy a sample first to change the lens. It wastes your time to think of it before you have gotten one to have a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
