In addition, the Fisheye lens is not called an ultra-wide lens for nothing. Comparing with the 0.67x wide angle lens, it gave a wider view of the surveillance area. However, the camera footage appeared more spherical with evident curved outer corners. <\/p>\n<h2>Want to build a Raspberry Pi security camera?<\/h2>\n<p>In case you need some references on how to build a Raspberry Pi security camera, you can follow one of the following posts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techcoil.com\/blog\/how-i-built-my-home-raspberry-pi-3-cctv-using-a-motion-eye-os-image-from-home-surveillance\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Setup a Raspberry Pi 3 security camera with using a motionEyeOS image for home surveillance<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techcoil.com\/blog\/how-i-setup-a-cctv-camera-with-raspberry-pi-zero-w-and-motioneyeos-image-for-home-surveillance\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Setup a security camera with Raspberry Pi Zero W and motionEyeOS image for home surveillance<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techcoil.com\/blog\/how-i-setup-a-raspberry-pi-zero-w-cctv-camera-with-motioneye-and-raspbian-stretch-lite\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Setup a Raspberry Pi Zero W security camera with motionEye and Raspbian Stretch Lite<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techcoil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Comparing-the-0.67x-wide-angle-lens-and-the-Fisheye-lens-on-a-Raspberry-Pi-CCTV.jpg\" alt=\"Comparing the 0.67x wide angle lens and the Fisheye lens on a Raspberry Pi CCTV\" \/><\/p>\n\n      <ul id=\"social-sharing-buttons-list\">\n        <li class=\"facebook\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwp.me%2Fp245TQ-7G\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ph\/img\/3rd-party\/social-icons\/Facebook.png\" alt=\"Facebook icon\"> Share\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n        <li class=\"twitter\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwp.me%2Fp245TQ-7G&via=Techcoil_com\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ph\/img\/3rd-party\/social-icons\/Twitter.png\" alt=\"Twitter icon\"> Tweet\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n        <li class=\"linkedin\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=1&title=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwp.me%2Fp245TQ-7G&source=https:\/\/www.techcoil.com\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ph\/img\/3rd-party\/social-icons\/linkedin.png\" alt=\"Linkedin icon\"> Share\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n        <li class=\"pinterest\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techcoil.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F476&description=\" class=\"pin-it-button\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"nofollow\" count-layout=\"horizontal\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ph\/img\/3rd-party\/social-icons\/Pinterest.png\" alt=\"Pinterest icon\"> Save\n          <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techcoil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Raspberry-Pi-Zero-W-with-magnetic-adapter-ring-0.67x-wide-angle-lens-and-fisheye-lens-on-wooden-floor.jpg\" alt=\"Raspberry Pi Zero W with magnetic adapter ring 0.67x wide angle lens and fisheye lens on wooden floor\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Recently, I found a pack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fisheye-Magnetic-Camera-iPhone-Samsung\/dp\/B00Y2BEPR2?tag=clivsperswebs-20\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Camera Lens Kit for mobile phones<\/a>.
