Whether you use conventional analog cameras or IP megapixel cameras, you will not get your desired results unless you consider proper placement.
So how do you know where to place your cameras? Depending upon your particular industry or market, they should generally monitor two types of areas:
1. Choke points: These are spots where people or vehicles are traveling to get to places within a secure area. A camera strategically placed to cover a choke point will be able to capture either the vehicle type in a parking lot or identify a person who enters a building or room. Choke points can include hallways, doorways, driveways and parking garage exits.
2. Valuable assets: An asset is anything of value within your facility. This could be a drug closet in a school, a safe, a cash register or a swimming pool where liability issues are a factor. Any asset should be considered for camera placement. Other examples of assets could be trophy cases, valuable pictures, laptops and petty cash drawers.
