Mounting Recommendations
For the best visibility toward the target, and a minimal blind spot below the camera, Arecont Vision
recommends mounting panoramic cameras 15-20ft off the ground. If the application is unable to meet
this criteria, for every 10ft the camera is mounted from the ground, expect a 10ft blind spot below, and
the camera should be aimed ~100ft, for every 10ft mounted from the ground, toward the horizon.
For example, a camera mounted at 30ft will have a 30ft blind spot below the camera and should be
aimed 300ft toward the horizon. In the example below, the camera in Figures 10B and 10C are both
mounted 30ft high; however, the camera in Figure 10B is aimed 250ft toward the horizon and the
camera in Figure 10C is only aimed 150ft toward horizon. As a result, the camera in Figure 10C will
have less than desirable results due to its higher curvature.

Figure 10B: Less curvature provides better results
Figure 10C: Higher curvature produces less desirable results
