Mounting Guidance
Higher mounting locations reduce tampering risk but can create steep facial viewing angles.

Angle Guidance
Lower depression angles generally provide more natural facial views. Steeper angles may capture more of the top of a person’s head.
Design Note
This calculator addresses installation geometry only. Lens selection, field of view, pixel density, lighting, and image quality should be checked separately.
