area of interest is within the field of view and line of sight of the camera. It is recommended
to focus only on a localized area. It is not recommended to install a camera that views the
entire work area where people or machinery are performing multiple tasks and are in

Make sure to mount your camera in a well lit area with stable lighting conditions. Changing
lighting conditions may affect the performance of MiR AI Camera negatively.
