A pole can provide a camera vantage point where no facade is available. The pole and bracket then become part of the image quality: movement of the structure can make an zoomed-in image unstable or blurry.
Note height, material, diameter, and the way the pole is set up. Also provide the camera model and the bracket. an existing pole that has been placed for a different purpose is not automatically suitable for this additional mounting. Have that reviewed in advance.
Check which bracket combination the camera manufacturer supports and whether it fits the pole. A suitable drilling pattern does not tell you everything about the complete mounting. Note how the connection remains accessible and how the camera can later be safely disassembled.
Draw the route up to the camera, including the transition at the pole foot. Discuss protection against damage and appropriate finishing of connections. Also include the possibility of maintenance on the site, so that the cable does not come out in a vulnerable location.
Check whether vibrations are visible and whether they become more noticeable when zooming in. Also evaluate the stored settings used on a PTZ camera. Image stabilization can help on certain models, but does not replace a suitable mechanical setup.
Keep the position, the bracket data, and a recording of the relevant zone. Note under what conditions the stability was observed. If the complaint only occurs under wind conditions, a check at a completely still moment is not sufficient to close that complaint.
This must be assessed on the suitability of the camera, bracket and pole together.
Not as a general guarantee. Mechanical stability remains an important basis.
