Optimal Height: Position the camera at a height of 8-12 meters (26-40 feet) above the ground to capture both near and distant objects without obstruction.

Minimum Height: The camera should be placed no lower than 5 meters (16 feet) to prevent objects in the foreground from blocking those in the background.

Maximum Height: Do not place the camera higher than 30 meters (98 feet), as detection accuracy decreases at greater heights, especially for smaller objects such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.

Placement Considerations: Choose a location that allows for stable installation at the recommended height while covering the desired area. Consider the type of traffic (e.g., vehicles or pedestrians) and potential mounting points (e.g., poles, buildings).

Object Size: Ensure that vehicles or objects occupy at least 5% of the total scene size. For example, in a Full HD (1920x1080 px) video, an object should have a width of at least 96 pixels.

Scene Coverage: Do not allow objects to cover more than 30% of the total scene size. In Full HD, an object's width should not exceed 576 pixels.

Camera Angle: The AI engine can process video effectively from a wide range of angles, from almost horizontal to a straight-down bird’s-eye view. Ensure that the angle does not exceed a viewing distance of 70 meters (230 feet) for all vehicle classes to be accurately tracked. Distances greater than this can cause smaller objects like pedestrians and cyclists to become less detectable.

Small Obstacles: Elements like thin poles, standard traffic signs, and wires do not usually impact detection capabilities.

Large Obstacles: Larger objects such as trees, statues, buildings, and bridges can obscure objects in the scene, causing the system to misinterpret vehicle trajectories. When a vehicle reappears after being blocked, it may be considered a new object, leading to inaccurate data.

Placement Strategy: Position the camera to ensure that the primary traffic streams are fully visible and unobstructed. If unavoidable, consider adjusting the analysis parameters around the obstacle using tools like Smart Corridor to improve detection accuracy.

Recommended Resolutions: Use a resolution of at least 1280x720 px (HD) or 1920x1080 px (Full HD) for the best results. Resolutions higher than 1920x1080 px are also supported, up to 4096x2160 px (4K).

Minimum Resolution: The minimum supported resolution is 640x480 px, but using such low resolutions may cause objects to appear blurry or lack sufficient detail for accurate detection.

Consistent Resolution: All frames within a single video or data source must maintain the same resolution. Changes in resolution are not supported and will result in errors during processing.

Ideal FPS: Set the frame rate between 25 and 30 frames per second (FPS) for the best results. This range offers a balance between smooth motion and manageable file size.

Maximum FPS: Frame rates above 60 FPS do not significantly improve detection accuracy but can increase file size and processing time.

Minimum FPS: While the minimum supported frame rate is 10 FPS, this is not recommended, especially for scenes with fast-moving objects or heavy traffic, as it can cause tracking errors.

Avoid Long Shutter Speeds: Cameras often switch to longer shutter speeds in low-light conditions, which can result in motion blur and unclear object contours. Disable automatic adjustments to maintain object clarity.

Maintain Clarity: Ensure the camera's settings preserve the contours of moving objects, as GoodVision Video Insights is optimized for detecting well-defined shapes, even in low-light scenarios.

Illumination Requirements: The AI engine is trained to recognize objects in both daylight and nighttime settings. However, objects must be sufficiently illuminated to be visible to the human eye.

Artificial Lighting: If natural lighting is inadequate, use artificial lighting to ensure that objects are visible throughout the recording period.

Rain and Snow: Avoid recording in heavy rain or snow, as raindrops or snowflakes on the lens can distort the image or cause reflections.

Lens Cleanliness: Ensure the camera lens is clean, free from dirt, smudges, or scratches, to avoid blurry images and preserve object contours.

Sun Flare and Reflections: Position the camera to minimize flare or reflections caused by direct sunlight, which can reduce object clarity.

Avoid Barrel Distortion: Choose a camera and lens setup that minimizes distortion, which can cause objects to appear bent or warped.
