I have a Hikvision DS-2cd2032f-i unit that is 3 MP but need to replace the lens with a 8mm lens. I have had bad experience before with random ebay lens replacement - the lens would bottom out before I can get it to focus. Furthermore I want the replacement lens to be of good quality, as I want to capture license plate if possible.
A side question, why does the lens selection websites ask about the sensor size of your camera? Is it to ensure full coverage of the larger sensor sizes? So if I have a 1/3" sensor, I could use a lens meant for 1/2.7"?
I have looked at m12lenses.com, are they reputable and have good quality lenses? Are there any other options (that ship overseas)?
