Understanding Field of View in CCTV Cameras

By GoLive January 27, 2026

When choosing a CCTV camera, most buyers focus on resolution, night vision, or price. However, one of the most critical yet overlooked factors is Field of View (FoV). The FoV determines how much area a camera can capture and directly impacts security effectiveness, blind spots, and overall ROI. At GoLive eTechnologies India Private Limited, we help schools, corporates, retailers, factories, and smart classrooms select the right CCTV and PTZ camera solutions—including Evota 4K PTZ Camera, Evota 10x HD PTZ Camera, Logitech PTZ Pro 2, and more—based on accurate FoV planning.


What is Field of View (FoV) in CCTV Cameras?

Field of View (FoV) refers to the horizontal and vertical area visible through a camera lens, measured in degrees.

  • Wide FoV (90°–180°) → Covers large areas with fewer cameras

  • Narrow FoV (20°–60°) → Captures focused details like faces or license plates

Choosing the wrong FoV can lead to:

  • Missed activities

  • Increased camera count

  • Poor monitoring efficiency
