This tool helps determine the mounting height of the camera based on your needs for the camera’s field of view (FOV). Based on the entered working distance, this tool calculates the FOV length and width for the camera at this distance.

The calculation result is for reference only.

Calculate Camera FOV

Please follow these steps to calculate the FOV of the camera:

  1. Click Tools in the menu bar, and select FOV Calculator to open the FOV Calculator window.

  2. Select the camera model under Select camera model.

    If the model in use is not listed in the drop-down menu, click Other models at the bottom to view more models.
  3. Enter the working distance in the Enter working distance field. The FOV length and FOV width are calculated based on the entered working distance. If the calculated FOV does not meet your needs, proceed to the next step.

    • The range of the working distance is the recommended working distance of the selected camera model. For details, refer to Working Distance.

    • The entered working distance must be within the above range. Otherwise, the entered value will be automatically adjusted.

  4. Click the arrow buttons to the right or scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the working distance, until the calculated FOV meets your needs. Use this working distance to estimate the appropriate mounting height of the camera.
