Camera Placement
The FC-Series AI camera can be mounted upright, either on top of the mounting surface. or
underneath an overhanging mounting surface such as eaves or an awning. The camera can also be
mounted sideways to view a scene such as along a fence line or corridor. Adhere to all local and
industry standards, codes, and best practices.
For installations with multiple FC-Series AI cameras with on-board video analytics, the fields of view
of cameras should overlap 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 the user guide.
•
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.
