What does the Corridor Format involve?

The Corridor Format is a configuration often used in surveillance settings, particularly in narrow or elongated spaces like hallways or corridors. It involves rotating the camera 90 degrees from its standard horizontal position to a vertical orientation. This adjustment allows for optimized framing of the scene, effectively capturing the elongated area while maximizing coverage of any movement within that space.

By changing the camera's orientation in this way, it accommodates the unique characteristics of such environments, as a standard horizontal view would not effectively capture all relevant activity happening in a narrow corridor. This vertical setup ensures that the camera can monitor movement along the length of the corridor, providing enhanced surveillance capabilities in areas where horizontal views could result in significant blind spots or less effective use of the camera's field of view.
