Thanks for taking the time to comment.
You are correct that optics needs to be considered as well. I spend a lot of time advising how to choose the right lens focal length but not much on the the quality of the lens.
Since the introduction of mega pixel CCTV cameras, this is even more important.

Unfortunately there are vendors that will supply you an analogue camera with a plastic lens to keep the price down but I have also encountered similar on mega pixel.
For example a 3MP or 5MP CCTV camera supplied with a 1.3MP lens.

PS you entered your website as martsight.com – I have corrected it to smartsight (you do want the back link I am guessing)

Thanks!
