1. Resolution (1080p (FHD) or Higher)
-
A sufficiently high resolution is essential to capture every small detail.
-
If the resolution is too low, pixels may become distorted when enlarged, making it difficult to analyze movements accurately.
2. Frame Rate (60fps or Higher)
-
A low frame rate can cause motion blur or stuttering when capturing fast movements.
-
In areas like sports analysis, dance, or gesture tracking—where movements are quick—you need at least 60fps to capture every detail precisely.
3. Field of View (100° or Wider)
-
A narrow field of view restricts the recording range and makes it hard to analyze full-body movements.
-
In tight indoor spaces, a wide-angle lens ensures the entire body remains within the frame for accurate movement tracking.
- Additional Note
However, when recording movements from a distance, a narrower field of view (90 degrees or less) can actually be more advantageous.
4. Additional Features
Tripod Compatibility
-
Check if the camera supports a tripod mount (1/4-inch thread).
-
Using a tripod offers stability and allows you to record from various angles and heights.
Using a USB Repeater
-
If the distance between your computer and the webcam is considerable, a USB repeater can help minimize data loss.
-
Even with a long cable, you can transmit video reliably and maintain quality.
Conclusion
-
Resolution (FHD or higher), Frame Rate (60fps or higher), and a Field of View (100° or wider) are the core specifications for precise motion analysis.
-
Considering tripod compatibility further enhances the efficiency of your recording setup.
-
If there’s a significant distance between your PC and camera, use a USB repeater for stable video transmission.
