Camera Placement Best Practices

For optimal detection accuracy:

• Weir cameras — Mount overhead looking down at a 45–60° angle
• Drone cameras — Fly at 10–30m altitude with nadir (straight-down) view

Image Quality Tips

Managing Multiple Cameras

You can add multiple cameras per project. Each camera will:

• Have its own live feed panel
• Contribute to the aggregate count
• Be independently configurable

Use camera groups to organize feeds by location or type.
