1.3.4 Camera Placement
For installations with multiple FB-Series ID cameras with on-board video analytics, the fields of view
of cameras should overlap in order to remove all dead zones in which a camera cannot see a target
“head to toe”. The camera’s on-board analytics must be calibrated to detect targets. Refer to Video
Analytics Setup—FB-Series ID Only, pg. 37.
• Install the camera at a height of approximately 4 m (13 ft) or more.
• Typically direct the camera towards the ground with a tilt angle α within a range of 45° to 60°
while ensuring the field of view includes as little of the skyline as possible.
• Ensure that cameras are mounted on stable mounts with minimal vibrations and maximal
resistance to wind.
• The tilt angle (
α) is the angle between vertical and the center of the camera field of view.
