The correct lens for the job.

[whiskeyjack6058 0]

I’m new to CCTV, and in need of a little help. I have a Vantage VGM100 IR sensitive mono camera and a 48 LED Illuminator. The camera is to monitor/reccord events around my garden shed, which is in a very small dark area (3m/2m) located very close to the camera. (Almost directly above). I'm not sure what size/type of lens would work best with it been in such close proximity to the camera. Any help is very much appreciated!

Thank you.

There are many lenses that would work for you. I would go with a 2.8 mm or smaller cs mount lens. Something like this one from rainbow cctv http://www.rainbowcctv.com/specs/13_inch/l28cswi.html

 

The smaller the mm the wider the view. Just remember that camera has a CS style mount.

 

Hope this helps.
