Title: wide angle camera
Post by: birdzeye on November 10, 2007, 01:55:37 PM
Is it truly wide angle or not? I read in a post here somewhere that it's just a fisheye. Anyone know? Like how many millimeters is the lens?

The WideEye Camera gives a 120° view. I think regular cameras are half of that (60°). I don't have any lens info.... sorry.

I read alot about cameras before I bought any. But learned more about how to use them in just a few minutes of playing with one. Thats generally what I recommend also: If your thinking about installing cameras... buy one, and try it out.
