🏙️Camera Placement
Vision devices are essential tools for observing and monitoring public spaces. Location placement is critical to what data will be acquired from these devices.
There are many use cases for the Vision Network and a range of device placements will provide different datasets that are critical to specific use cases. Cameras are meant to track public and outdoor activities and events. Cameras are automatically assigned a score of 1 worker after having been approved. After that, cameras receive extra workers depending on what/if any data is being mined from the camera's feed. This is where placement will matter depending on the network's growth and use.
For example, if a camera has a great placement that allows tracking for 7 different use cases, it may end up having an 8 worker reward level assigned to it (1 default + 1 for each use case) We currently have 6 main classes. In the add a Camera onboarding flow, you will be asked to choose which classes apply to your setup. We've also included an Other box so you can let us know what data may matter to you!
