To maximize image quality, avoid placements where the vehicle hood is in view (e.g. in the bottom 60% of the
image.) The Vehicle hoods can interfere with exposure management (particularly those painted white) when
the sunlight reflects off them.
Cab Facing Camera Placement: Use the M4 Security bit to loosen the bolts on the side of the camera.
Cab-facing Camera QA Check
Validate that the driver camera has a clear view of the drivers face. The driver camera should capture an
internal view from the outside shoulder of the driver to the outside shoulder of a front-seat passenger.
Camera Placement for BUS and Multi-passenger vehicles
The internal view should capture from the outside shoulder of the Driver and at least his elbow area near
the steering wheel.
The internal view should be able to capture down the aisle to the back of the bus showing a view at least
2 feet above the rear most seat if possible.
Lastly the internal view should capture as much of the passenger entry at the front side of the bus if possible.
The above is listed by importance but when setting the view all priorities should be taken into consideration.
