See exactly what your camera actually sees.

Pick a lens, set the mounting height, and drag the person down the view. Watch a face go from identifiable to just a shape — and see where your blind spot starts. “We can see them” and “we can prove who it was” are very different cameras.

DORI thresholds per EN 62676-4: Detect 25, Observe 62, Recognise 125, Identify 250 px per metre of scene width (horizontal). Elevation assumes a 16:9 sensor and a 1.7 m subject; vertical scale is exaggerated for legibility. Indicative — a real design also accounts for lens distortion and lighting.

The numbers are the easy part. Placement is the craft.

Real coverage means angles, mounting height, blind spots, overlap between cameras and how long you keep the footage. That's the survey we do — and you get the documentation, not just the invoice. Or try placing this camera on your own floor plan in the Estate Planner.
