Cameras in the environment
Normal operation of View can reveal weaknesses in the position of cameras. Video
surveillance can be hampered by:
•
blind spots. Mobile equipment, vehicle docking, renovation work, and so on.
•
environmental lighting. a camera can be rendered ineffective by direct sunlight,
artificial lighting or their opposite, darkness.
•
environmental conditions. Condensation, excessive heat or cold, even a dirty
camera lens, due to dust or grease can be common over time and require
onsite maintenance.
Report problems with camera position to your organization. A discussion of good
camera position, corrective photography, and so on, are beyond the scope of this guide.
