Hey everyone,

I have been researching the best way to upgrade my current surveillance setup and I’ve realized how much of a difference the security camera lens actually makes in image clarity and coverage. Its honestly something I didn’t think about much before — I always focused more on the camera specs rather than the lens itself.

Now I am looking into different types of lenses like varifocal, fixed, and wide-angle, but it’s kind of overwhelming. I came across this Security Camera Lens guide that breaks down lens assemblies pretty well — especially if you’re trying to understand focal length, field of view, and compatibility with different cameras.

Has anyone here experimented with different lens types for indoor vs outdoor surveillance? I am specifically looking for something that balances good zoom with wide coverage. Would love to hear what’s worked best for you!

Cheers,
