Hi there.... I'm sticking with the camera I'm familiar with 2cd2042WD-1....
Need one with 12MM lens, but the are either not in my price range, or flat out -- un-available....
I have a spare 4MM 2042 unit, and aquired a less expensive 1/3" sensor
DS-2CD2012-I-12MM
Plan is to remove 12mm lens from the 2012 camera and swap it with the 2042 spare...
I've Seen the YouTube videos on doing this, and in another life I was a component level board repair technician.. I'm willing to take the chance....
My question is.... When it comes to re-focusing the new lens...... How far away from the camera should the point where I'm setting sharp focus, be?
As far as possible?
Thanks for your posts....
