Where to place the Camera

Edited

Natural framing at any scale, no camera expertise required.


Overview

The goal of camera placement is simple:
make people look natural and keep everyone clearly in frame.

Pleneo’s RoomVision automatically tracks speakers and adjusts framing throughout the meeting.
Good placement gives the system a clear reference, so it can do its job consistently.


The Most Important Rules

1. Eye-level placement

  • Place the camera at seated eye height (~1.2 m)

  • Creates natural eye contact

Too high → people look down
Too low → people look up


2. Align with the display

  • Keep the camera as close as possible to the screen

  • Helps people appear to look at each other

  • Avoids “off-angle” conversations


Best Camera Placement Options

1. Centered, Below the Display (Recommended)

  • Closest to natural eye level

  • Keeps gaze aligned with the screen

  • Works especially well with dual displays

Best setup:
Two displays with the camera placed between them at eye height.


2. Centered, Above the Display

  • Clean, familiar framing

  • Works in nearly all rooms

  • Reliable when below-display placement isn’t possible

Use this as a fallback when needed.


3. Side Wall (Last Option)

  • Practical when front-wall mounting isn’t possible

  • Acceptable in smaller rooms

Side mounting introduces angled views and should be avoided when possible.


Choosing the Right RoomVision Model

RoomVision adapts to how people use the room.
The right model simply ensures enough visual coverage.

RoomVision

Best for: Medium meeting rooms

  • Optimized for standard spaces

  • Works well with defined seating

  • Consistent results with minimal setup


RoomVision XL

Best for: Larger spaces

  • Handles wider rooms and longer distances

  • Keeps framing stable across the room

  • Ideal for boardrooms and flexible layouts


In Summary

To get the best results:

  • Place the camera at eye level

  • Keep it centered and close to the display

  • Use below-display placement when possible

  • Choose the model based on room size

Get placement right, and everything else happens automatically.

That’s how camera intelligence stays invisible, and meetings feel natural.
