Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine where you will place your security camera. If you want to hide your camera from view, such as in a small hole in a wall, you will need a tiny lens.

  2. Step 2

    Consider if you need to zoom in on an object.

  3. Step 3

    Decide on the amount of clarity you want in your camera image. This is partially determined by your lens.

  4. Step 4

    Read reviews of home security camera lenses in such reliable magazines as "Consumer Reports."

  5. Step 5

    Visit Web forums to ask questions about camera lenses. Talk to people who have already used the product you may be interested in purchasing.
