System layout
Camera layout and fields of view vary based on several factors including vehicle
seating arrangements, partition walls, door location, and customer guidelines. It
is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that these factors are adequately
considered before installation begins.
Figure 2 below shows a typical, eight-camera layout generally used on a
40’
transit bus. While most areas of the vehicle are covered when cameras are
located in this manner, this illustration is provided as a guide and not a rule for
actual camera placement. In all new installations, you should obtain customer
acceptance of camera location and fields of view as part of installation planning.
