Mounting the camera at an ideal position is a key step in installing your Spiideo cameras. A camera mounted at the right position ensures that our AutoFollow™ and the calibration run smoothly, giving you the best possible viewing experience.
In this article, you'll find graphs that clearly state where your camera should be mounted. The article is split into basketball, field hockey, handball, ice hockey, and soccer.
Always consult with our sales or installation team to get confirmation on the camera system type and the best mounting location for your arena. Our installation team can be reached via installation@spiideo.com.
💡 Once you’ve received the cameras, our installation team will support you remotely with aiming. To ensure their availability, please schedule an appointment at least 48 hours in advance of your on-site installation.
How to Interpret the Charts
The graphs show the acceptable height range for mounting a camera depending on the distance from the sideline.
The different parts of the graph can be divided into five parts:
The y-axis shows the height above ground level (in meters) at which the camera would be mounted.
The x-axis shows the distance from the sideline (in meters) at which the camera would be mounted.
The gray line shows the minimum acceptable height.
The blue line shows the maximum acceptable height.
The area located between the gray and blue lines shows the optimal range to mount the camera.
If your planned camera position falls anywhere inside this, you are good to go.
If it's outside, you'll likely need to adjust the height or the distance.
In the example below, we’ll see that mounting a D-line Ultrawide as the sideline virtual panorama camera for basketball 4 meters from the sideline at 9 meters above ground level, is acceptable. However, placing it 5.5 meters from the sideline at 14 meters high is not recommended.
