FOV full name is Field of view(the angle view). The imaging width of each camera is fixed. For different focal lengths,the valur of the field of view angle is different,the longer the focal length,the smaller the field of view angle,the shorter the focal length,the larger the filed of view angle.For the field of view range,the longer the focal length,the farther the field of view range is;the shorter the focal length,the shorter the field of view angle.

The determining factors for the horizontal field of view are the focal length and the width of the imaging area, while the determining factors for the vertical field of view are the focal length and the height of the imaging area; The determining factors of the diagonal field of view are the focal length and the height and width of the imaging area. Assuming the width of the imaging area is W, the height is H, and the focal length is f, the angle calculation is as follows:

Example: f=35mm,HW=24mm(Vertical)*35mm,Horizontal view is 2atan(35/(235))=53.13
f=4mm with 1/2.7 inch lens,W=5.27,H=3.96,Vertical is 2atan(3.96/(2*4))=52.67
