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.
