Now that you have chosen the best positions for your new security cameras around your business, you’ll need to consider the optimal height for your CCTV cameras. There are a few things to consider before finalising the install height of the security camera, including: Mounted too low will be the focal point of vandalism and easily accessible for thieves Mounted too high or far away from the monitored location will potentially lead to pixelated images when zooming in on an area which can disrupt the identification of faces Mounted in a way to hide the camera could interrupt your viewing angle and block necessary line of sight An install height of 2.5m or 5m is usually the most common for businesses, but it completely depends on the property or room you are installing them in. Security cameras at 2.5m high provide you with a better close-range view of the area and provide higher quality images as they are closer to the subject. At 5m, you increase the capacity to capture more surroundings with a wider angle but may cause image distortion when zooming in.
