My own camera has a FOV of 70deg (they state - can't be certain how accurate that figure is) and it's an 8mp sensor. In terms of focal length, if you take a 50mm camera lens off a 35mm camera (full frame sensor) and put it on a camera with a smaller sensor it will be a telephoto with a much narrower FOV (field of view) It's not just the focal length of the lens you need to take into consideration, you also have to include the size of the sensor. If you click on the camera selection help in Lightburn their own data says a 5mp camera with 120 deg lens sees 560x420mm and the minimum height is 368mm or 14.5 inches to cover my 410x420mm bed. The ThingieVerse type camera mounts have seen look like they put the camera 2 feet above the bed !

which, for an Ortur LM2-Pro with a 400mm bed area, means the minimum distance above the work surface would be: 'In order to determine the minimum mounting height for the camera to see your whole laser area, use the wider of the two lengths of your laser's work space and divide by:
