Use 4MP+ cameras with 8mm+ lenses to capture license plates clearly at 10m+ distance. Mount at 8-10ft height for optimal angle.
Parking Aisles
Place overview cameras every 30-40 meters. Use 2MP-4MP cameras with 4-6mm lenses for general surveillance and incident tracking.
Perimeter/Entrances
Position cameras to cover pedestrian entrances and key access points. Use 4MP with 4mm lens for face recognition at 10m.
