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.
1. Optimizing person and vehicle detection accuracy, see pg.6
2. Optimizing face and mask detection accuracy, see pg.7-9

Based on your detection preference choose between:

Note: You cannot enable both face detection and person and vehicle detection at the same time.

8-16ft
30-60° down
50ft
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 ⅔of the camera image.
• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (i.e. tree branches).
