Class 1 Assignment - Report The Focal Length And Angle Of View (Aov) For 3 Cameras

IPVMU Certified

Hello! For your first assignment, look up and report focal length and AoV values using the IPVM Camera Finder.

Here are my results:

ACTi - B51:

Fixed focus = 1.9mm lens
AoV = 129 degrees

Arecont - AV5255PMIR-SAH:

Varifocal lens = 3.0 - 8.0mm
AoV = 43 - 113 degrees

Hikvision - DS-2DE4220:

Varifocal lens = 4.2 - 94.0mm
AoV = 3 - 58 degrees

An interesting find on the Hikvision DS-2DE4220; the widest angle at 4.2mm is only 58 degrees while the telephoto angle is 3 degrees. That is a very tightly zoomed shot.

In the camera finder, locate the camera you want to report on and click on it to open a new page. Scroll down and locate the 'Lens / Imaging' section, this is where you will find this information:

You can choose any 3 cameras you like. The lenses can be fixed, varifocal, motorized, etc. Report any interesting observations or questions that come up as you are researching this.

1 - CMOS and CCD are different kind of sensor that share some similarities.

Here in IPVM there is a lot of good topics on this. Just one of them - https://ipvm.com/reports/the-end-of-ccds

I also would like to post a link to a very recent and graphical explanation =)

http://petapixel.com/2016/05/10/infographic-difference-cmos-ccd-sensors/

2 - Avigilon Imager 1/2.3"

Well i guess they thought it would be cool to have this option, as they have some very different option regarding their camera.

1/2.3" is more common for digital cameras (dslr, etc). Canon PowerShot uses 1/2.3".

3- Why does the Bosch camera have two ranges for Lens Focal Length and AoV?

If you check their datasheet, there is three option of lenses.

2- Arecont is the only manufacturer with some cameras reporting 95 degrees angle @ 0.0mm focal length?

At first i though it could be maybe lower than 3 or 2mm but No 0.0mm on the datasheet =(

Hi IPVM Instructors

I had a question about class 1 assignment. I am very much anticipating how to aquire the same ninja status you have, for the camera calculator. I wanted to check out a camera (OE-C6412)we are utilizing with many of our current customers. However, I am having some issues finding the focal length of the OE-C6412 camera. I have attached a screen shot of what I see when I select and load this camera, compared to what I see when I load the ACTi - B51. The B51 shows the focal length however the OE-C6412 only shows an AoV slide bar. Do I have something set incorrectly on the calculator, which would not allow me to see the Focal Length? Or is there some equation I need to use to calculate the Focal Length?

Also I had asked a few questions about the camera calculator during the class yesterday and unsure if I had received a response about it. Would you also be able to confirm that my questions are being seen during the live class? I have added the questions which I added during the class, below.

Will you be going over more in depth, details about using the camera calculator?
Will you be going over more about the camera imager size and it's relation to the effect it has on the image? This was pretty daunting and I wanted to make sure I fully understand the concepts you taught in class 1.

Ron, the Arecont is a multi-imager, so it is using multiple sensors to provide the 180° FoV.

Here are my results:

3xLogic VX-3PV-B-I

Varifocal lens = 2.8mm - 12.0mm lens
AoV = 31.9 - 105.2 degrees

3xLogic VX-3P4/28-MD-I

Fixed focus = 4.0mm
AoV = 75.8 degrees

3xLogic VX-3P28-MD-IA

Fixed focus = 2.8mm
AoV = 86 degrees

Comments: As expected the shorter the length of the lens the wider the AoV.

As expected the shorter the length of the lens, the wider the AoV. Varifocal has noticeably higher AoV (105.2 degrees at 2.8mm compared to the 86 degree AoV found in the 2.8 fixed lens).

I am a camera rookie, It seems to me that Directional box camera are a superior out door device to fisheye cameras simply because of placement. On the other hand the 360 degree Fisheye could provide more detail in all directions. Are outdoor fisheyes practical?

They can be depending on what the intended use is, like an overview of a small area. Remember that the PPF for a fisheye is going to drop drastically when compared to a box/bullet/dome, e.g.:

With a 5MP panoramic, at 20 feet away from the camera, the PPF is ~21
With a 5MP 'conventional' 60° lens, at 20 feet away from the camera, the PPF is ~130

Here is an article on panoramic cameras and another on PPF (pixels per foot). We will cover panoramic cameras in class 10 and cover PPF in class 8.

different Manufacturers, but if i check both Axis, Bosch, and also check all other camera posted here, all give very wide varieties for the widest angle if it is 2,3 or 4. even though i though that the difference between 2 or 3 might not be that big, it seems that each manufacturer has their own different angles.
