What is a wide angle security camera lens?
- Wide angle lenses covers a much large area than narrow angle lenses.
- Narrow angle lenses offers better image resolution and definition.
Cameras angles are given in degrees°
360 degrees is full circle O
This is usually a fish-eye lens mounted on a ceiling
180 degrees is a half circle __
This means from edge to the edge of the camera
90 degrees is a quarter circle |_
45 degrees is half of one half circle /_
A narrower (ie. a smaller or lower) lens' angle covers a smaller area, but the definition and quality of the image is better.
Narrow angle lenses covers a smaller area (less than 48 degrees) and are ideal for entrances and places which does not require large area coverage. The advantage of narrow angle lenses is the amount of detail in the image is superior, which makes it easier to differentiate facial features, number plate numbers and other high definition details.
The definition of "Wide angle" varies by manufacturer specifications, but they are usually anything from 48degrees to 180degrees (ultra wide angle).
Ultra wide angles are between 170 degrees to 180 degrees and covers almost the entire front section from edge to edge of the camera. Ultra wide angles are best for large areas such as gardens and car parks.
Ultra wide 360 degrees panoramic cameras are ceiling mounted and usually have a "fish eye" lens to allow such a wide area. These cameras are ideal in offices, warehouses and stores which require "an eye in the sky".
