Security surveillance camera systems have become standard equipment for more and more families, meeting people’s needs for home security and monitoring. But you can’t just buy a camera and place it anywhere to achieve 360° all-round surveillance without blind spots. Only by mounting HD security camera in the correct position can you ensure that it can achieve its best monitoring perforance.
So how high should security cameras be mounted? How to maximize the viewing angle and adjust the image quality to the best? The VIKYLIN team has compiled some tips, hoping to be helpful to every surveillance users.
Consider Cameras security and anti-destruction
If the camera is used for indoor surveillance, the mounting height can generally be lower to better capture the person facial features, but a warm reminder is best not to be lower than 2.5 meters; but if it is installed outdoors, then it is best It should not be lower than 3.5 meters, and the camera should be as high as possible from the ground. This can also effectively reduce the possibility of human damage. It is also worth noting that the security camera mounted location should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Ensure clear vision
When choosing a mounting height for your HD security camera, don’t forget to ensure that the camera’s field of view is unobstructed. For example, if you want to monitor your backyard, place the camera so it can see the entire yard and avoid being blocked by fences, shrubs, or other obstacles. If it is to monitoring the outdoor, the motion detector security camera is best mounted next to the door so that the faces of entering and exiting people can be clearly captured.
parking lot security cameras mounted height
The mounting height of the parking lot security cameras is particularly important too. Typically, parking lot IP cameras should be mounted about 2~3 meters (6.5~10ft) above the ground. This height can not only cover human and vehicles in the parking lot, but also prevent it from being easily damaged or tampered with. Additionally, cameras should be mounted at an appropriate distance from the parking space to capture vehicle details.
Conduct field tests
Before finalizing the mounting height of the security surveillance camera systems, we recommend that you conduct on-site field testing in person. You can simulate the angle of view and monitoring range of the camera to see the effect, so as to better evaluate whether the height is appropriate and avoid problems with blind spots or poor monitoring effects. You can also find professional security cameras installers to help with testing and evaluation. They will make adjustments based on the actual situation to ensure that the camera can always maintain optimal performance.
