jackbuchan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Dear All, I had purchased the other day a high resolution camera from the security warehouse (See Link!): > http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog...products_id=849 I am looking for some assistance on where to get a lens that will suit my needs as i did not realise that you would have to purchase this seperate from the camera and unsure which type i would need. The camera is going on a wall to point on to a road to view cars coming up the road and the wall is about 5 m away from the road the road is around 6 m wide. All help and suggestions woulm be much apprechiated ! PS: I had spoke to james through this forum from security warehouse AKA: Redbull and he suggest that it would be best to post a topic in the cctv forum for advise. Also where is the best place to get one of these lenses from?

james.wilson Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 if your looking at a 5m scene and a 5m width then you will need a 4mm lens (if 1/3") You will also need an auto iris one if its for use outside (in a housing) James securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

james.wilson Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 computar not a bad lens, not as good as a pentax or fujinon but infinetly better than the first but a 6mm lens will give about a 4m scene width from a 6m distance to scene, so from what you said earlier not a wide enough focal length securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
