Vueroid Horizontal FOV Database

[Chuck McCoy]

The purpose of this thread is to document the Measured Horizontal FOV of all future Vueroid dashcams I receive for test & review.
I settled on this method because all you need is a wall, and a yardstick.
It’s easy to duplicate so anyone can confirm & verify my measurements.
The hardest part to maintain accuracy / consistency is to place the camera lens in the exact same location every time, (50cm from wall).
Height doesn’t really matter as long as it matches the yardstick, (28cm).
After obtaining the FOV measurement in centimeters, plugging two known measurements into a right triangle calculator will provide the Horizontal FOV in degrees.

Chuck repeatedly mentions the “yardstick,” implying some uncertainty about the FOV, but according to the specifications of the lens VUEROID developed, its accuracy is over 99.5%.
VUEROID can confidently say that the FOV he measures for all products reflects the actual FOV.

When I take the measurements in centimeters I usually round up / down to the nearest whole number, half number, or quarter number, (1 / .5 / .25).
When I enter the two known measurements into the triangle calculator to convert into degrees / angle I also round up / down the degrees / angle to the nearest whole number.
So maybe that's why I have a 0.5% rate of failure. lol
