Mounting Height Helper

Part of a Design Flow

This tool continues the Physical Security Design Flow

Use this step to choose a workable install height before locking field of view. It translates scene geometry into a suggested down-tilt and framing range so the next optical step starts from a healthier mounting assumption.

Calculated values from the previous step can carry forward into this tool, reducing re-entry and preserving design context.

Estimate tilt angle and ground coverage based on mounting height and distance.

Best for: choosing a workable install height that balances coverage, subject angle, and identification quality before locking field of view.

Calculator

Estimate vertical geometry so mount height, target distance, and framing stay in a practical range before you move into horizontal field-of-view planning.

Enter valid values and press Calculate.

Model: suggested down-tilt is derived from mount height, target distance, and target height. Vertical framing is then estimated using the supplied vertical field of view to show where the top and bottom edges land at the target distance.
