3.1.1 Camera placement
Plan your camera installation carefully. Identify the locations where cameras will provide the best coverage, considering:
• Field of view – Cameras must be positioned so they can eectively view the entire area that must be monitored, and in a
location that makes tampering with it dicult.
• Lighting – Direct sunlight shining on the camera lens or bright reections from shiny objects in the eld of view can
diminish video quality and camera performance. Mount the camera in shaded areas, if possible, or where these inuences
can be minimized.
• Ease of installation – Must be able to install the camera at the location, considering mounting hardware requirements,
temperature, dust, moisture, etc.
