Recommendation for camera-- 100 feet away or so

[wpiman]

Looking for a camera recommendation to mount on my generator in order to see my kids playground... about 100 feet away. Something that can focus variable at that distance you be great. PTZ would be a plus-- but not a requirement.

I have one of these

Hi @wpiman

At 100 feet.. I'd look at the PTZ models..

How big of an area do you want to be able to view at 100'? It should be some easy math to figure out the focal length you need. Just google "cctv focal length calculator" for help.

I think you will probably want something in the 12-18mm focal length range. Knowing the focal length you need will help with the camera selection.
