I want to know if my camera can see a target at a certain distance. How can I calculate the field of view?

We have a utility called FoV calculator that is available on this site, access it by following the procedure below:

1. Go to Download Datasheet and select a series of cameras
2. Click on the FoV Calc hyperlink. For a camera and lens combination. This displays the FoV calculator.
3. To select a different camera and lens combination for a particular camera, select the new combination from the drop-down menu.

The FoV calculator shows the following results:

• HFOV: horizontal field of view in meters and feet.
• VFOV: vertical field of view in meters and feet.
• Depth of field-far limit in meters and feet.
• Depth of field-near limit in meters and feet.
• IFOV: instantaneous field of view in millimeters and inches.
• Distance to target in meters and feet.

Tips:

• Each camera may have interchangeable lenses. In this case, you can choose a lens from the drop-down menu.
• You can switch between metric or imperial units using the drop-down menu
• enter multiple distances separated by commas to calculate the FoV at all desired distances

Example of a 45° A655sc

Go to the camera data sheets and select the product:

Select the 45° lens from the drop-down menu:

Enter the desired distance to calculate the FoV. Or use the default values.
