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 page 4.
2. Optimizing face and mask detection accuracy, see pages 5-7.

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 2/3 of the camera image.
• Point the camera where there is the least amount of obstructions (i.e. tree branches).
4
Accuracy will be inuenced 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.
Accuracy of person and vehicle detection

2. Optimizing face and mask detection accuracy
• Install in a bright area and avoid facing direct sunlight with strong backlights and dark shadows.
• Choose a location where objects of interest will be no further than 15ft (4.5m) from the camera.
• Position the camera 10ft (3m) off the ground to detect the full proportion of a face.
• Angle the camera around 15° down from the level position.
• Point the camera directly where objects of interest will be facing.
