Hi Marc Were you able to find anything for your setup? Im doing something similar and Im starting from scratch. I would love to hear what you did if you got a system running

Im not sure if this is the place, but this is my first post, so here I go Im working on a CCTV camera that has a 1/3" cmos sensor (I cant post a link but its a uEye UI-1220) But the lens that came with the system is a 1/2" lens This guy here (again no link, but its a Tamron 12vm412asir) SPECIFICATIONS Focal Length 4-12mm Iris Range F/1.2 - Close Iris Operation Manual Focus Operation Manual Mount C 1/2" Angle of View (wide/telephoto) 93.6° x 68.9°/31.2°x23.4° Focusing Range 0.3m ~ INF Back Focus (in air) 10.157mm ~ 19.911mm My problem is that I need a wider viewing area. I need to mount the camera on a car and the field of view isnt wide enough for my application. The lens says it has a field of view of 93* which should be good, but when I actually measure the FOV, its only like 63* which doesnt work My question is, what happens when you put a 1/2" lens on a camera that has a 1/3" sensor. If the answer is a smaller FOV, then we are going to need a different lens that matches with the camera. I have no clue about lenses and cameras and the like. Is there a quick FAQ for this stuff? I wasnt able to find anything when I did a quick search.
