Camera Placement Optimizer is a tool that automatically determines the best positions and angles for surveillance cameras in a poultry barn, ensuring maximum visibility with minimal blind spots. By modeling the barn layout and applying advanced algorithms, it generates optimized camera configurations that outperform manual placement. This enables efficient installation, improved monitoring of farm operations, and better support for animal welfare without unnecessary hardware or guesswork.
