3.3 Adjusting the eld of view visualization
Axis Camera Families feature adjustable eld of view visualization. This makes it possible to get an
overview of the camera coverage in oor plans, sections and 3D views.
3.3.1 Tilt, Pan and Focal Length
The camera tilt and rotation are controlled by the FOV Tilt and FOV Pan properties. For dome cameras,
only the eld of view visualization is tilted and rotated. For other cameras the camera housing is also
tilted and rotated.
The focal length is adjusted using the FOV Desired Focal Length property. The eld of view visualization
is limited to the focal range supported by the camera. The actual focal range used is shown as FOV
Actual Focal Length. If this value is not the same as the FOV Desired Focal Length, the selected focal
length is outside the camera’s range.
3.3.2 Size and visibility of eld of view visualization
The extent of the eld of view visualization is controlled by the FOV Distance to Object, FOV Upper
Limit and FOV Bottom Limit properties. The eld of view visualization will extend horizontally from the
camera to a distance set by FOV Distance to Object. The top of the eld of view visualization will be cut
o at a distance from the camera insertion point set by FOV Upper Limit, and the bottom will be cut
o at the distance set by FOV Bottom Limit. To cut the eld of view visualization at oor level, set FOV
Bottom Limit to the same value as Oset.
Use the Show Field of View checkbox to turn the eld of view visualization on or o.
Important
The eld of view visualization is provided for guidance. Individual variations of the eld of view could
exist between cameras, e.g. due to back focus adjustment and lens distortion. Plan with margins.
Important
The eld of view visualization can be tilted or rotated outside the range supported by the camera or
the environment where the camera is mounted. You must ensure that it is possible to achieve the
desired tilt and rotation in your particular situation.
