SSA — ENGINEERING TOOLS

What are you trying to calculate?

Two genuine optics and detection-geometry calculators — real trigonometry, not marketing guesses. Get an instant visual estimate below, then have it properly verified at a free on-site survey.

01 — CAMERA TOOL

How wide can one camera really see?

A genuine optics calculator — not a guess. Pick a lens and a distance, and watch the exact field of view plotted using real trigonometry. Useful for sizing a driveway, yard or shopfront before we even visit.

Lens / camera type
Distance from camera: 10 m
14.1 m

A single wide-angle camera mounted centrally covers roughly this width, 10 m out — measured, not guessed.

Real-world coverage also depends on mounting height, obstructions and image detail needed for identification — always confirmed at your free on-site survey.

02 — ALARM TOOL

How much floor does one motion sensor cover?

The same honest engineering approach, applied to intruder detection. Real PIR detector geometry — standard, wide-angle or corridor/curtain lenses — plotted to scale.

Detector type
Distance from sensor: 8 m
16.0 m

A single standard PIR mounted centrally covers roughly this width, 8m out — measured, not guessed.

Real-world coverage also depends on mounting height, pets, furniture and obstructions — always confirmed at your free on-site survey.
