  • Angle the camera 15° down from the level position.
  • Install the camera between 8.2-11.5ft (2.5-3.5m) off of the ground.
Accuracy of person and vehicle detection will be influenced 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.
