Camera Field of View

The synoptic map system now allows the display of a visual representation of a field of view of the cameras. You can configure the field of view for any camera on the synoptic map.

 

tog_plusNote

The field of view feature is only available for Synoptic Maps and is not available for Operational Maps.

 

Select the Field of View tab and adjust the values ​​accordingly:

 

753

 

Angle: The greater the opening angle, the "wider" the field of view will be.

Distance: The greater the configured distance, the longer the mark on the map.

Color: By clicking on the blue square it is possible to choose another color for marking the field of view.

 

Within the field of view calibration we have the options (Only for PTZ cameras with this feature integrated):

 

Minimum Zoom Angle: Specify the camera's field of view when the zoom is as small as possible.

Minimum Zoom Distance: Specify how far you can see with the camera at its minimum zoom.

Maximum Zoom Angle: Specify the camera's field of view when zoomed in as far as possible.

Maximum Zoom Distance: Specify how far you can see with the camera at its maximum zoom.

 

Below is an example of a camera with maximum and minimum zoom:

 

754

Camera with minimum zoom, having a greater field of view and shorter distance.

 

755

Camera with maximum zoom, having a smaller field of view and greater distance.

 

The field of view is not required to be re-saved when calibrating the home position, as the home position is independent of the field of view.

The live feedback feature will only be available for cameras that have built-in PTZ driver. Check the models with integrated PTZ on our website.
