Lesson 1Identifying critical coverage zones: gates, loading docks, storage aisles, office, guard roomSpot di key coverage zones wey go drive camera placement in warehouses. Prioritise gates, loading docks, aisles, offices, and guard rooms base on risk, traffic, and past incidents to build strong, defensible design.
Risk-based ranking of warehouse areasCoverage needs at vehicle and staff gatesLoading dock bays, ramps, and staging zonesHigh-value and restricted storage aislesOffice, guard room, and control room viewsLesson 2Lens, field of view, and resolution selection: focal length, horizontal FOV, placement height calculationsMaster lens, field of view, and resolution choices for main warehouse tasks. Use focal length and mounting height to calculate coverage, pixel density, and identification ranges for aisles, docks, gates, and high-bay storage.
Relating focal length to horizontal field of viewPixel density targets for ID vs overview viewsHeight, tilt, and distance calculation examplesChoosing multi-sensor vs single-sensor coverageBalancing resolution, bandwidth, and storageLesson 3Low-light and WDR technologies: selection criteria for motion areas and high-contrast scenesUnderstand how low-light and WDR features affect image quality in busy areas and high-contrast spots. Learn to read datasheets, compare tech, and pick settings wey keep detail in dark aisles, dock doors, and skylit zones.

Learn to sketch floor plans, mark sightlines, and fine-tune placement to meet goals while watching cost and installation stress.
Creating scaled or approximate floor sketchesMarking camera icons, FOV cones, and rangesCounting cameras by task and risk categoryIterating layouts to reduce overlaps and gapsDocumenting final design for installersLesson 5Audio considerations and legal/privacy checkpoints for indoor/outdoor recordingUnderstand when and how to use audio in warehouse watching. Check microphone placement, recording rules, consent needs, and privacy zones for inside and outside to cut legal and compliance wahala.
Use cases for audio in docks and guard areasMic types, placement, and noise challengesOne-party vs two-party consent fundamentalsSignage, policy, and worker notification needsMasking private areas and disabling audioLesson 6Mounting, aiming, and sightline planning: overlap, blind spot elimination, anti-glare strategiesPlan mounting spots and aiming angles to dodge blind spots and glare. Learn to design overlapping coverage, handle reflections from floors and doors, and check sightlines with test views during survey.
Selecting structural mounting points safelySetting tilt and roll to avoid ceiling viewsDesigning overlap to cover blind spotsMitigating glare from doors, glass, and metalUsing test monitors to confirm sightlinesLesson 7Camera types and form factors: fixed, varifocal, dome, bullet, turret, PTZ — pros/cons for warehouse useCheck fixed, varifocal, dome, bullet, turret, and PTZ cameras for warehouse. Learn how each shape affect coverage, deterrence, upkeep, and cost so you fit match to warehouse risk profiles.

Learn IK and IP ratings, mounting height plans, and tamper detection to cut damage, downtime, and blind spots from bad interference.

Learn when to use housings, sunshields, mounts, conduit, and junction boxes to manage cables, heat, vibration, and future access.

Check backlight, LED flicker, IR reflections, and seasonal changes so camera placement and settings keep good images all time.
