How do I align or point my WWVDS camera?
This article discusses how to point the GovComm camera(s) accordingly for your WWVDS application.
When positioning a WWVDS camera, it is important to consider the lanes you want to cover.
Detection Camera
When aiming a bi-spectrum camera, focus on the thermal stream, as it is always more zoomed in. If you align the camera using the thermal stream, the optical stream should automatically cover all required lanes as well.
The detection camera should not follow intersection traffic. Instead, it should be aimed toward the intersection stop bar whenever possible. Additionally, ensure the camera view covers enough of the far lane in both streams (optical and thermal).
Keep in mind that if the shoulder is 8 feet or wider, it must also be included within the detection zone.

Confirmation Camera
When positioning the confirmation camera, angle it downward enough to avoid capturing unnecessary areas and to focus only on the lanes that need to be monitored. Keep in mind that a steeper downward angle allows the system to detect vehicles sooner.
