Using the Polycom PowerCam Presenter

Place the camera so that:

It is no more than 50 feet (15 meters) and no closer than 5 feet (1½ meters) from the person wearing the locator pack assembly.

It is about 6 feet to 7 feet (2 meters) above the floor, although higher will also work.

The back of the camera is at least 1 foot (½ meter) away from the wall. If you add acoustic foam on the wall, you can place the camera slightly closer than 1 foot (½ meter) from the wall.

The head of the camera points no more than 25 degrees above or below the camera base when it is tracking the person wearing the locator. Plus or minus 25 degrees of tilt is the mechanical limit of the camera.

Remove as many obstructions as possible between the locator pack assembly and the camera. Line-of-sight is best.

Face toward the camera when wearing the locator pack assembly. If you walk behind an obstruction or turn your back for a time and the system loses the ultrasound signal, move the locator pack assembly back in the line-of-sight of the camera. The camera will automatically receive the signal again and point toward you.

For best results, follow these guidelines:

From 5 feet (1½ meters) to 35 feet (11 meters) away from the camera, you can face the camera or turn side-to-side as long as the locator faces

no more than 90° away from the center of the camera.
