Testing EF Lenses On IP Camera

Author: Ethan Ace, Published on Nov 23, 2016

Glass.

IP cameras are often characterized as using lower quality 'glass' and that those lenses reduce image quality. By contrast, Canon EF lenses are widely viewed as superior and for higher quality photography work.

What if you put an EF lens on an IP camera? Would it make the image quality better?

We tested one of these models, the 70-200mm Canon EF70-200L against a high end Computar varifocal model, the 25-135mm H5Z2518C-MP, both on Axis' high end Q1635.
