Selection. of a camera depends on the location you wish to watch of course.
A 6mm lens may work for you if you wish to monitor your area of concern. But for better facial images 8mm or 12mm lens may be a better choice. IMO it's best to discover what works for you, by exploring the cheaper cameras first. If you are not sure what lens you need, purchase one 6mm one 8mm and one 12mm. So you can see the difference yourself. I myself find cameras at 25.00 US dollars per camera work for me. (Many law breakers captured on video and arrested using them) The height of the cameras is something that may different from mine. I live in 2 story and install my camera out of reach of those that may damage the cameras. So I use many cameras with different lens. The only thing I found on using the cheap China cameras (which I use) is that the outside shell color of the camera turns from black to a bronze color in short time. Under the suns IR light, not a big deal to me for the reduced cost of protecting my neighborhood.
Note: I mainly to use 1000tvl cameras, but have 700tvl cmareas that work well for covering larger areas as well. It all depends on how high up you have to mount the cameras. And the clear images you wish to capture. For really dark areas, adding a camera with IR lights is better than cheap those cheap IR flood lights, at the same cost. A camera with IR will light up the same area but also give you option to record the events. NOT just light them up in IR light, your choice of course. But the power is the same on both. Supply the light to allow animals ( Cats / Mice / Raccoon etc.... to see or supply light for a camera to record events.
In other words if you wish to watch over a large area, mount a cameras with higher lens higher. For closer concerns mount smaller lens cameras lower. It's best if you have more than one IR cam covering the same area. One high up and one lower, this allows added IR lighting for the higher up camera as well if needed in areas with no lights.
Note: Cameras with IR need to be adjusted at night to insure you do not blind another camera with it's IR lights. Having the "IP Cam Viewer" App comes in handy for setting your cameras view up.
