Remote Camera Locations
Site Survey
The site survey is most important for properly
evaluating needs at a project location
Pay attention to the big picture, but think about the
small details
Try to picture the entirety of the project
You may not get easy access to the site again
Understanding the projects puzzle pieces early on will
determine the success of the entire process
