Important installation guidelines
The optimal installation location, including the height and angle of your camera, will depend on
the type of detection settings that you want to enable. Since the optimal angle for person and
vehicle detection is different from the optimal angle for face detection, you will need to select one
approach.
Based on your detection preference choose between:
1. Optimizing person and vehicle detection accuracy, see page 4.
2. Optimizing face and mask detection accuracy, see pages 5-7.
Note:
You cannot enable both face detection and person and vehicle detection at the same time.
1. Optimizing person and vehicle detection accuracy
•
Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 50ft (15m) from the camera.
•
Install the camera between 8-16ft (2.5-5m) off the ground.
•
Angle the camera between 30-60° down from the level position.
•
Optimal accuracy for objects of interest appear in the bottom 2/3 of the camera image.
•
Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (i.e. tree branches).
Accuracy of person and vehicle detection
Accuracy will be influenced by multiple factors, such as the
object's distance from the camera, the size of the object,
and the height and angle of the camera. Night vision will
also impact the accuracy of detection.
