Please pardon if some of my technical lingo is incorrect....
I have a specific camera (CCD and Lens) question. I have installed a 2.2mm fixed 1/3"ccd dome camera in and am experiencing a distorted image around the perimeter of the field of view.
These cameras are installed on a flat ceiling and aimed directly at the floor and are intended to view a designated 12' diamerter circle. I selected the 2.2mm based on the need to view a 12 by 16 foot image with a very limiting 8 foot distance between the lens and the surface.
Like mentioned above the image is 'rounded' and/or distorted on the perimeter. Using the specotech.com image calculator, I understand that a 1/2" ccd camera with a 3.2mm lens should provide the same field of view.
My question is, will this type of camera also have the same image anamolies as the 1/3" ccd?
As a point of reference, I can take a 'snapshot' with my cheap digital camera from the camera position and get the full image without any distortion. However, I find it nearly impossible to directly compare the specs of my Olympus camera's lens with those of the CCTV camera options I am looking into.
Thanks for any input that you have.
