3. Installation
Proper COUNTcam installation in the field is crucial
to capturing usable video data. This section reviews
the best practices for installing your COUNTcam 2
in the field.
Always use caution and best judgment when
working in the field. Equipping your vehicle
with warning lights and/or a roof beacon is
recommended for your protection. Additionally,
wearing reflective clothing or a safety vest is
recommended to increase your visibility to drivers .
Selecting a Location
At the desired recording
site, find a tree, utility pole,
or street sign that allows
for a clear view of the
area to be recorded. The
camera should be 50-100
ft (15-30m) from the center
of the intersection.
• Avoid setup locations where objects may
obstruct views, such as bus stops and truck
loading zones.
• Try to position the camera facing North or South
to avoid sun glare during sunrise or sunset which
could obstruct the video footage.
• A birds-eye view will make the video easier to
count, try to install the camera high up and
pointed down.
• Wear reflective vests / clothing when working
in and around traffic to increase visibility to
motorists. It is also recommended to engage
the hazard lights and install a light beacon on
your vehicle if it will obstruct traffic.
• Unless given special permission, installation
of equipment on private property is not
recommended.
• Avoid interaction with wildlife at installation site
by all means necessary.
