The 12mm fixed lens gives a high level of detail over a narrower field of view. Typical applications might include till or counter monitoring as well as entrance doors where you are looking to capture detail features. If you are wanting a wider field of view at the expense of detail then consider the 8mm general purpose or 3.6mm wide angle lens. The zoom lens cameras make selection easier because 1 camera covers a number of options.
As a guide to detail capture with this camera it would be possible to read a car number plate at up to 10 or 11 metres during the daytime.
