According to the five levels of "entrance-perimeter-public area-unit building-underground garage", the key points for setting up community monitoring points are explained.

First floor: entrance and exit (most important)

  • Diversion of pedestrians and vehicles: Pedestrian passages are equipped with facial recognition/swipe cards, and vehicle passages are equipped with license plate recognition.
  • Vehicle entrance and exit: license plate recognition camera (special camera + fill light), plus a panoramic camera to record the overall situation.
  • Pedestrian entrance and exit: face recognition terminal + surveillance camera covering the queuing area.
  • Goal: 100% trace rate of personnel entry and exit, vehicle recognition rate ≥ 98%.

Second level: perimeter

  • An infrared security camera is installed every 40 to 60 meters on the fence, and cross coverage is used to eliminate blind spots.
  • Place more points in easy-to-climb locations (low walls, against trees, against pipes).
  • Cooperate with the dome camera for alarm linkage tracking.
  • Optional: Electronic fence + video review, the false alarm rate can be greatly reduced.

Third floor: public area

  • The main road, central garden, children's play area, and fitness area are all covered.
  • Dome cameras are used in large scenes such as squares (supporting cruising and crowd density detection).
  • Be careful to avoid the direction of residents’ windows to avoid privacy disputes.

The fourth floor: unit building

  • Unit foyer: 1 camera facing the entrance, taking into account both face and access control.
  • Elevator car: 1 2.8mm wide-angle camera per elevator.
  • Floor corridors: Distribute points at intervals of 15 to 20 meters, or only in the elevator hall (depending on budget and property requirements).
  • Basement elevator hall: separate location, this is a high-risk area for theft.

Fifth floor: underground garage

  • Lane: 1 unit every 20 to 25 meters. Pay attention to column blocking and use diagonal cross coverage.
  • Parking space area: low illumination wide-angle camera + fill light.
  • Entrance and exit: license plate recognition and barrier gates are linked.
  • Pedestrian stairwells and elevator halls: separate locations.
  • Non-motorized garage: Covered separately, electric vehicle theft is high.

Privacy and Compliance

  • Cameras may not be pointed into residents’ doors or windows, which is the most common source of complaints.
  • Set higher permissions on the elevator screen and resident floor screen to review traces.
  • Publish the location plan before construction and solicit opinions from owners.
  • There must be a clear management system for storage and access.
