The 3.6mm lens on this camera gives a wide angle field of view suitable for general overview applications. It will capture detail when the subject is close to the camera, less than 4-5 metres but for more distant subjects detail will be forfeited to obtain a wide angle of view. For more detail at further distances consider the 8mm or 12mm versions.
As a guide to detail capture using this camera a car number plate would be readable at up to 4 or 5 metres during the day.
