Question

How Many Cameras do you Recommend for an Interview Room?

Answer

We recommend strategically placing two cameras in an interview room.

The first should be a wide-angle camera positioned in a corner where it can capture the entire room.

For the second camera, position a varifocal one to capture both the interviewee’s full body and the corner where the first camera is placed.

If there’s a whiteboard or any other object in the room you want to be recorded, make sure to position a third camera if not already captured.

Interview recording requirements vary for each organization, therefore the number and placement of cameras depend on your specific needs.
