If the requirement is 100 pixels per foot, the camera will have to cover 700 pixels. This application
aims to identify a subject passing through a specic area.
4. Other factors may include that a person will move in your area of interest: The face may not always
face the camera.
5. Details can be affected by weak lighting or the view angle. Therefore, higher the pixels, higher the
chance you identify the subject.
6. The pixel calculator visual tool looks like the following.
With the visual tool, you can estimate a coverage area, the distance from the subject, and place a ruler
or an object of known size. You can then draw a calculator frame to cover the subject of your interest.
The calculated numbers will be listed at the lower screen. You will then understand if the current
setting fulll your requests for the number of pixels.
