What does wide-angle camera mean?

A wide-angle camera refers to a camera with a wider shooting range than a traditional camera. It usually has a shooting angle of more than 60 degrees. Wide-angle cameras can capture more scene content at the same distance, so they are widely used in situations that require a wide viewing angle, such as shooting large scenes, indoor and outdoor spaces, etc.

Wide-angle cameras can be divided into fixed and adjustable types. The shooting angle of fixed wide-angle cameras cannot be changed and is suitable for indoor surveillance shooting. The adjustable wide-angle camera can adjust the shooting angle, and users can flexibly adjust the shooting range and picture as needed, making it suitable for shooting in various situations.

Wide-angle cameras have been widely used in security monitoring, outdoor shooting, VR virtual reality, aerial photography and other fields. Through wide-angle camera shooting, users can obtain richer and more vivid picture content, and at the same time, it can better meet various shooting needs. With the continuous development of science and technology, the technology of wide-angle cameras will also be continuously upgraded, which is expected to bring better shooting effects and more diverse application scenarios in the future.
