Camera Placement & Field-of-View (FOV) Engineering Guide
Eye line, participant arrangement and sightlines determine camera placement; published FOV needs its measurement context.
Illustrative layout. Final equipment selection requires an exact room and product review.
Look from the remote participant’s seat
Consider faces, eye line and who may be hidden by another person or a display. A top-down plan helps reveal likely obstructions.
Separate camera measurements
Horizontal and diagonal field of view are different measures. Optical zoom, digital zoom and combined camera coverage should not be treated as interchangeable.
Consider the room behaviour
People entering, presenting or turning toward a second display can change the framing requirements. Add these uses to the room brief.
Check the proposed view
Confirm camera position and expected framing with the exact model and operating mode. The planner illustration does not simulate camera coverage.
Turn the questions into a room brief.
You can keep uncertain details open and save your progress.
