Determining Installation Locations
After you have determined how many sensors are needed, you must determine the optimal location for
installing each sensor to capture the desired behavior within the area of interest:
1. Refer to the site survey information to determine the installation height for the sensor in this area
of interest.
2. Determine the desired coverage area where the behavior to be captured would occur in the area
of interest.
3. Determine the number of sensors required to completely cover the area of interest. For instance,
if the area of interest is 12’ x32’ and the coverage area at the installed height is 12’x16’ then it
would require two sensors to cover the area end-to-end.
4. Identify the optimal location for placing each sensor in the physical space, where the desired
behavior would be as close the center as possible. Understand that the sensor’s optimal
placement may also create issues with/for other objects within the view of the sensor. See
Identifying the Optimal Installation Location.
Determining Sensor Tracking Coverage Areas
The sensor identifies an object as a person by height calculations and identifying the center of mass. To
be tracked, a person must be in the sensor’s view from head to feet. Red coverage box in the following
figures shows where people will be tracked. If a person’s center of mass is within the red coverage box,
they are tracked by the sensor. However, even if most of a person is viewable through the sensor (e.g.,
from shoulders down to feet), they still may not be tracked.

Identifying the Optimal Installation Location
The best location is where the coverage gives you the view to capture the desired behavior and deliver
the desired metrics. For optimal performance, follow Mounting a 3D Gen 2 Sensor. Existing physical
characteristics of the site may present design challenges.
