How to Choose the Right Lens for Your CCTV Camera

By GoLive January 18, 2026

Choosing the right CCTV camera is important—but choosing the right lens is what truly determines coverage, clarity, and security effectiveness. Whether you’re installing CCTV for a home, office, school, warehouse, retail store, or smart classroom, the lens decides how much area you see, how clear the image is, and how well threats are detected. At GoLive eTechnologies India Private Limited, we help customers across Delhi NCR and pan-India select professional surveillance solutions—from Evota PTZ cameras to Logitech PTZ Pro 2—with the correct lens configuration for real-world use cases.


1. Understanding CCTV Lens Types (Fixed vs Varifocal vs PTZ)

 Fixed Lens (Cost-Effective & Simple)

  • Fixed focal length (e.g., 2.8mm, 3.6mm)

  • Best for small rooms, shops, corridors

  • Budget-friendly and low maintenance
     Ideal for basic security setups using Evota HD cameras

 Varifocal Lens (Flexible Coverage)

  • Adjustable focal length (e.g., 2.8–12mm)

  • Zoom in/out manually or motorized

  • Used in offices, schools, warehouses
     Popular in Evota camera price segments for commercial use

 PTZ Lens (Professional Surveillance)

  • Pan, Tilt & Zoom with optical zoom

  • Covers large areas with fewer cameras

  • Ideal for campuses, auditoriums, parking areas
     Recommended: Evota 4K PTZ Camera, Evota 10x HD PTZ Camera, Logitech PTZ Pro 2
