Lens Selection Guide

Short focal lengths (2.8-4mm) provide wide coverage for indoor areas, hallways, and small rooms. Great for overview coverage but lower pixel density at distance.

Medium focal lengths (6-12mm) balance coverage and detail. Ideal for entrances, parking areas, and building perimeters where you need to identify people at 15-50m.

Long focal lengths (16-50mm+) provide telephoto coverage for long corridors, fence lines, and license plate capture at 50-200m. Narrow FOV but high pixel density.
