Camera Selection for large bed

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility
1

I’m looking to add a camera to our Chinese laser. I have 11" maximum clearance for the camera mount. The Lightburn camera selection tool tells me I need a minimum of 20" for this bed with the 150 degree camera. In the selection tool when I reduce the bed size to 24" x 17" I get 10" minimum clearance.

Can I just install this camera and calibrate it as if I had a 24" x 17" bed size? I think I would rarely need a setup / viewing area larger that this. Or is there another method to get the entire bed in the view?

Or do most people mount them to use only when the lid is fully open?

This is worth review, Using a Camera - LightBurn Software Documentation

In particular, the section titled “Mounting and Focusing”. :slight_smile:

I measured with the door open. 38" - 39" is a safe measurement. The camera selection help section says minimum mounting height is 41.48" for the 8mp W - 85. But the product page says to measure the widest measurement of the bed (49" for me) and divide by 1.6. I come up with minimum mounting heigh of 30.625". That a big difference. So which is it?
