Understanding Field of View in CCTV Cameras

By GoLive January 27, 2026

When selecting a CCTV camera, most buyers focus on resolution, night vision, or brand. However, Field of View (FoV) is one of the most critical yet overlooked factors that determines how much area a camera can actually capture. At GoLive eTechnologies India Private Limited, we help businesses, schools, retail stores, factories, and smart classrooms choose the right FoV CCTV and PTZ camera solutions—ensuring maximum coverage, fewer blind spots, and better ROI.


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

Field of View (FoV) refers to the horizontal and vertical angle that a camera lens can capture.

  • Wide FoV → Covers a larger area with less detail

  • Narrow FoV → Covers a smaller area with more zoom and clarity

FoV is directly influenced by:

  • Lens size (mm)

  • Sensor size

  • Camera type (fixed / PTZ / 4K)
