I installed annke dome 5mp. I didnt know much about the lens the one i got is 2.8mm. My uncle came to my house he was like why did u get 2.8mm you should have got 3.6mm. I had doubts since i wasnt sure of lens. But after watching your video, i defo can say i am glad its 2.8mm it captures so much of the driveway edges. My old 720p camera was 3.6mm lens that mostly didnt cover the drive. So glad i watched your video. Now i can be happy with my 2.8mm
Useful video thanks. You have a THC-T120M but I can only find "HIKVISION HILOOK THC-T120-MC CCTV CAMERA 2MP 1080P HD 20M IR 2.8MM NIGHT VISION". Do you know what the difference is between M and MC?
Hi. My channel is more of a hobby but unfortunately since about Christmas time I've not really had enough time to make many videos. I'm purchasing an electric car soon so maybe I'll make a few videos about that. Anyways... thanks 👍
There are valid reasons for choosing 3.6mm over 2.8mm though: just check the line on top of the vehicle (near the antena, it's where the car trunk opens). Its MUCH more clear in the 3.6mm and that is because 3.6mm lens has a much better view over distances (which compensates the lesser angle of view in some cases).
I disagree with your comment "it's MUCH more clear". Clarity or Quality of the image is NOT determined by the Lens size, that would be Resolution. What you have mistaken for clarity is the differential of Horizontal Field of View & Focal Range between the two Cameras. Assuming his old 3.6mm Camera was also 2MP (which it is not), the H.FoV is approx 79° & his new 2.8mm Camera H.FoV is 106°, much Wider than the 3.6mm. Where the Focal Range of a 3.6mm, the image begins much further away from the camera than 2.8mm, thus making the objects seem much closer with the 3.6mm. 2.8mm Wider FoV & Objects Distant. 3.6mm Narrow FoV & Objects Closer. Lets not forget a Lens is "Convex", so a wider H.FOV in particular greater than 90°, would appear to be more rounded/domed, Narrower, less than 90° appear square/flat. So the "Line where the trunk opens" in the 2.8mm image, which appears distant & more convex in comparisson to the 3.6mm image, which appears Closer & Flat, but that does not make it any Clearer.
I have 3.6mm and I find them a better camera compared to the 2.8mm...... the simple reason is, that 2.8mm gives you a warp picture. it's like a fish eyed affect so you can get more in........ I just have two 3.6mm overlapping each other and I get a better picture overall... one at each corner of the house looking down on the front garden and you get full coverage but not warped like you do with a 2.8mm.
@@ricco123tube I don't half too, that is why you got a THUMB DOWN! Just thought I let everyone know that you are willing to put whatever pictures that will not be in your video contents. Your willing to do anything for a click, right?
@@ricco123tube Your picture is showing that your about show the difference between 2.8mm up to 12mm, does it not? Your title says "2.8mm vs 3.6mm CCTV camera comparison swap out". I see, so played on contradiction from your title and Picture that you selected, you don't see that your showing a comparison, you show 2.8mm up to 12mm picture and you say's 2.8mm vs 3.6mm CCTV camera comparison swap out. You’re not the first to put false picture to get audience, it sound like you’re trying to say that it's ok to have whatever picture for my video, even if the image will show expectation that you’re not going to show or talk about. The picture you us, is similar to a video that actually talk about 2.8mm to 12mm difference, and I see picture of video that where about mega pixel of camera i.e.: 3mp-8mp. And out of all the picture that you could have selected, you chose a picture that showed 2.8mm up to 12mm picture. Yes your title says "2.8mm vs 3.6mm CCTV camera comparison swap out." and you could have spoken about the other's camera, to show why you selected the 3.6mm instead of all the other one. From your title and your picture, that is what I was expecting. Why would you understand, your picture has nothing to do with your title. So, you did what you did, I reacted to what you did, and this is the result you get. Maybe in the future, you should use a picture that depict video better. Here is an example, search " Gaia CCTV what do megapixels mean to your CCTV system?" and look at the picture and the title, and if you want you can watch this video, I did, and the picture and the title support each other, instead of your contradicting each other. Do whatever you want. I have commented your video as I seen it and that is all I have to say about this.
@@ricco123tube It's no rocket science, really. Just open the camera and see what type of lens yours has. Seeing that you're replacing an ANNKE product, which is probably based on a widely used XM module and adopting an IR filter with an M12 lens mount, I would say you need no more than 8 bucks for a good quality 2.8mm M12 lens from AliExpress or the likes. In case the lens on you camera is glued to the IR filter, then get a new filter along with the lens, it will cost an additional $1.50 or so. That said, for about $10, you can do anything you want with your camera. This type of lens relies on a 0.5 mm pitch thread to keep the lens attached to the IR filter, as well as adjusting the focus. Just don't forget to turn the camera on and hook it to a DVR, so you can bring the lens into focus BEFORE closing the camera and calling it a day. :)
@@ricco123tube Works as well. I assemble my own cameras and never go for ready products, anyway, hence my tendency to modify what I already have, rather than replacing it altogether. You simply don't learn as much, going the easy way. :) Cheers
Short, sweet and straight to the point, thanks mate!

Thank you, it was very helpful! Now I know exactly I need the 2.8 mm lens.
How did you find the 2.8mm? Could you still recognise / identify people at the same distances or did it make the identify distance shorter?
A very nice guy! thanks for sharing the video, it's a very helpful video, greetings from Bolivia.
Great video. Thanks
Thanks Man

Yeah 2 is a really good option but i couldn't really do that without a lot of work and a new CCTV box with more inputs.
Maybe I'll do 2 in the future.
Yup! That is a great solution(2 x 3.6) even tho it's more expensive for 2 cams.

FUCK i just ordered 3.6mm lens for my camera by mistake lol :(
Oh dear...😁
I was expecting you to show the one picture with the different mm lense, so disappointed.
Oh dear. It's a tough life.

We all love clickbait, but I don't think Jesus can help you in this instance.
Or you could have simply swapped the lens. :)

£20 for new camera, straight swap, sold old camera for £15 and job done.
