Aim at paths people must use

Entrances, gates, driveways, walks, loading doors, and narrow approaches create more reliable evidence than broad views of unused space.

Balance height and detail

  • Too high can show only the tops of heads.
  • Too low increases tampering risk.
  • Avoid gutters, doors, and foliage entering the view.
  • Plan for seasonal sun and vegetation.

Use more than one perspective

Combine an identification view with a wider contextual view where the event value is high.
