SurroundVideo® G5 Mini Installation Manual Mounting Recommendations For the best visibility toward the target, and a minimal blind spot below the camera, Arecont Vision recommends mounting panoramic cameras 15-20ft off the ground. If the application is unable to meet this criteria, for every 10ft the camera is mounted from the ground, expect a 10ft blind spot below, and the camera should be aimed ~100ft, for every 10ft mounted from the ground, toward the horizon.
SurroundVideo® G5 Mini Installation Manual In the example below, the camera in Figures 1D and 1E are both mounted 8ft high; however, the camera in Figure 1D is aimed 80ft toward the horizon and the camera in Figure 1E is only aimed at 30ft toward horizon. The camera in Figure 1E results in a drastic curvature with less usable video.
