USB webcam for wide angle?

[AshBN123]

I have 2 OV2710 usb2.0 webcams (see attached) but I now know I need a slighter better lens parameter than I currently have to fit all the picture in.

The parameters for an OV2710 is 1/2.7 with a 3.6mm lens so I’ll probably need something like 1/1.8 or better with a 3.6mm lens too to increase the viewing angle

I run at 640x480 in 120 FPS and need similar. These run at about £50-60 each so excellent specs considering the money

does anyone have any ideas of any cameras on the market that fit the bill?

thanks

I used these on my install. The wide angle on the right I use for face on view. Distance from camera to ball is 4 feet. Only 30fps in HD. Available on Amazon.

It's not a fish eye is it?

No, I can fill the frame with ball to a little taller than my head. Wide angle - not fisheye.

Steves55347 I purchased the same two cameras as you. I too have about four feet from the ball to the position of the face on camera. (2.1 mm). Interestingly it seems I can capture more height in the fov if I turn the camera sideways. The problem is I can't figure out how to rotate the image I want to appear as not sideways in Kinovea. Any ideas? I'm totally new to Kinovea and after a decent search on the inter web no quick fix jumped out at me. Thanks.

Dealing with the same issue. Was able to rotate the playback image but not the capture. Curious if you found a solution?

Ncube - No, sorry. I don’t know anything about the ability to change settings on Kinovea. Maybe you could post that question on their forum. Good luck.
