Mount cameras at an elevated position - Mounting your cameras at an elevated position,
can keep your cameras out of range of vandals or would be burglars. It also allows your
camera to have a high vantage point increasing its viewing area.
Cover your target area: When placing cameras, make sure you provide ample coverage,
but not in excess. For example, if you are trying to cover a front gate, don’t zoom in to only
have the gate in frame. Position the camera to cover part of your front gate so you capture
as much area as possible without sacrificing video quality.
6.2 Camera Field of View
The Field of view produced by a camera is the area that the camera can see. It is an
important factor to consider as it determines not just what the camera can see, but also the
level of detail that is visible at a given distance.
Cameras with a smaller lens, also known as a wide-angle lens, produce a greater Field of
View than cameras with a larger lens. This means that the camera can see a large area but
the objects will appear smaller within the scene area. This is useful if you want to monitor
an entire room or a yard. Cameras with a larger lens also known as narrow-angle have a
smaller Field of View. They can see a limited area, but objects will appear larger within the
scene area. This is useful if you want to monitor a specific target such as a doorway or
entrance. The included camera’s lens is 3.6mm by default.
1 Wide Angle: About 60 degree; Fixed Lens: f=3.6mm; The best view range: 1-5m
2 Narrow Angle: About 40 degree; Fixed Lens: f=6mm; The best viea range. 5-10m
