Wall mount versus ceiling mount

In installations where identification is needed it is highly recommended to supplement ceiling mount security cameras with eye level cameras mounted on walls or in doorways. Catch facial details by having cameras at eye level.

The mounts are designed to be placed at eye level, next to e.g. doors or alarm panels. Thus mounted, the camera will look straight into a person’s face, which is ideal anywhere where reliable identification is necessary.

Cameras placed at approx. 1.5m (5’) height offer a good way to capture good face shots, even when the person is wearing a baseball cap or a hood. This is ideal when identification is needed.

Surveillance cameras may be discreet and sometimes also covert. Facial details are crucial for identifying indiduals. The identification may be made by either a guard or an automated face recognition system.
