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.
