This document describes systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for video camera self-calibration based on video information received from the video camera. In some implementations, a computing device receives video information characterizing a video showing a scene from a field of view of a video camera; detects an object that appears in the scene of the video; identifies a visual marking that appears on the detected object; determines a particular visual marking among a plurality of pre-defined visual markings that matches the visual marking that appears on the detected object; identifies one or more object characteristics associated with the particular visual marking; evaluates one or more features of the video with respect to the one or more object characteristics; and based on a result of evaluating the one or more features of the video with respect to the one or more object characteristics, sets a parameter of the video camera.
