Optimized Placement

Optimizing security camera placement involves strategically positioning cameras to maximize coverage and effectiveness. Here are some key considerations and tips:

1. Identify Critical Areas: Determine which areas require monitoring based on security needs. These could include entry points, parking lots, sensitive equipment areas, and blind spots.

2. Overlapping Coverage: If using more than one camera in an area, avoid gaps in coverage by strategically placing cameras to overlap the FOVs (field of view) slightly. This ensures no blind spots where suspicious activity could go unnoticed.

3. Height and Angle: DEFEND cameras are optimized to be placed at 8-10 ft with a slightly downward angle. 

4. Accessibility and Vandalism: Place cameras out of reach to prevent tampering or vandalism. 

5. Privacy Considerations: Ensure cameras respect privacy laws and regulations, especially in public areas or near residential properties.

6. Remote Monitoring: Position cameras where they can be easily monitored and accessed as needed.

7. Testing and Adjustment: Test each camera to verify coverage and adjust positioning if necessary before installation. Monitor footage to identify any blind spots or areas needing improvement.

By following these guidelines, you can optimize your DEFEND camera placement to enhance surveillance coverage, deter potential threats, and improve overall security effectiveness.
