Q26 Camera Manual: Installation
2.1.2 Ceiling-Mounted
Thanks to its hemispherical lens, a single Q26 can monitor an entire room right into each
of the four corners (360° Panorama View). The camera’s should ideally be positioned on the
ceiling in the center of the room. Due to its inherent physical and optical properties, the
precision of the lens decreases as
the distance from the lens grows.
This means that the maximum
usable image area varies greatly
depending on the intended purpose
of the camera. Rooms with a square
floor area of up to approx. 40 m² in
general allow recognizing details
even at the borders of the full image.
If you would only like to know if
persons enter a room, or to monitor
specific objects, rooms of up to
100 m² floor area can be monitored
using a single Q26.
Outdoors, the Q26 is usually
mounted on a building wall, cor-
ner or pole instead of the ceiling.
For this situation, we recommend the use of the practical wall mount from the range of
accessory products (see
Section 2.6 ) or an extension.
