Old Guy. New Here. I have one location where I can't seem to figure out what camera lens to buy. Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I 3MP bullet (or DS-2CD2032F-I 3MP bullet) I'm looking at this chart
I have a location that needs to capture people walking into the property, at 9 meters (29 3/4 feet) from the camera, and the width of the entrance is 4 meters (13 1/2 feet). (I mean that entrance is 9 meters away from the camera.) Because the property slopes down, the camera is mounted at the same height as the people walking onto the property. Is that an 8mm or a 12mm lens that I need to buy? I'm having difficulty reading the chart. I did search for it here and found the myriad of Placement questions and answers, but this camera still has me stumped. Any help / advice is much appreciated.
EDIT:
I tried using the online form here: http://www.jvsg.com/online/# and it calls for a "10.6mm lens." So I should get a 12mm, right? Or should I go down to an 8mm to make sure I have the edges of the entrance? (The 8mm is 5.3m width at the entrance, and the 12mm is only 3.6m.) Sorry, I'm n3wb at this.
EDIT: Yeah, I'm leaning toward the 12mm.
