Camera Placement and Configuration
Position cameras with direction, lens, and mounting parameters
Place cameras on the plan and configure them for real-world coverage.
Benefit
Position cameras so their field of view matches the project requirements and physical constraints.
How it works
Click to place a camera, then set direction, target distance, mounting height, tilt, rotation, and lens parameters. The horizontal and vertical field of view updates immediately, and coverage is constrained by wall geometry.
Typical user
Installers, consultants, and integrators defining camera layouts.
Example use case
A designer places an entry camera, sets the direction toward the reception desk, chooses a 2.8 mm lens, sets a 3.5 m mounting height, and tilts the camera downward to match the intended view.
Key inputs
- Camera model or sensor/lens data
- Mounting height and tilt
- Direction and target distance
- Wall geometry
Key outputs
- Positioned camera with FOV cone
- Horizontal and vertical coverage
- DORI input basis
Technical note
Calculated FOV depends on the accuracy of lens, sensor, and mounting inputs. Verify with manufacturer datasheets for critical applications.
