Setting the Camera Angle and Height
If the camera supports camera tracking and the required equipment is connected, you should configure the
camera angle and height for the best results when using the camera tracking feature.
You should make small adjustments until the camera view and camera tracking performance work as expected.
• The Camera Angle value specifies the angle at which the front of the camera points relative to the front of the
boat. A Camera Angle of zero degrees indicates the front of the camera is aligned with the front of the boat.
• The Camera Height value specifies how high the camera is mounted above the heading sensor.
• To set the camera angle, select Vessel > Video > Options > Installation > Camera Angle, and enter a value.
• To set the camera height, select Vessel > Video > Options > Installation > Camera Height, and enter a value.
