Note The importance of camera centering versus camera height deserves some further discussion It must be recognized how important centering the camera is to optimal system performance In many cases centering the camera is more important than getting an additional five feet of height For instance when dealing with a short luminaire arm on a very wide roadway it might be a better choice to mount th...
