2.1.1 Positioning A Hemispheric Camera
A hemispheric camera is primarily suited to providing an excellent overview, and less
suitable for more exact details. 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 greatly varies with the purpose of the camera. People, for
example, may be identified very well at distances of up to 1.5 m/5 ft, and
with sufficient detail at up to 3 m/10 ft. Objects can be recognized
even at distances of 5 m/16.4 ft and more from the camera.
Ceiling-Mounted
A single S14 sensor module can monitor an entire room right into each of the four corners
(360° Panorama View) thanks to its hemispheric lens. The camera should ideally be
positioned on the ceiling in the center of the room. Rooms with a square floor area of up
to approx. 40 m² generally allow the recognition of detail 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 with a floor
area of well over 100 m² can also
be monitored using a single sensor
module.
