Is the location of my window suitable for Telraam?
When signing up as a candidate for a Telraam network, we ask you to upload a photo on the participation form. The purpose of this is to check whether your location is suitable for Telraam. Is the roadway and/or footpath visible? Is there a balustrade that disturbs, a flysheet, a shutter or a tree that obstructs the view?
Or maybe you want to purchase a Telraam yourself, but first want to make sure your window meets all the Telraam requirements. If so, be sure to read on.
Uploading a picture on the registration form (if part of a network)
We ask you to take a picture of the street from the window (1st or 2nd floor), just as you would place a Telraam against the window. This means perpendicular to the street and not slanted. If you want to place the Telraam on the second floor, we ask you to take a photograph from the second floor. Sloped windows or skylights do not qualify to hang a Telraam.
Window requirements
1️⃣ Floor: The window is not on the ground floor (0) and preferably on the first floor (+1). The minimum height is 3 meters. Preferably higher.
2️⃣ Maximum distance from window to street is about 15 meters.
3️⃣ Minimum distance: Your Telraam is not too close to the road. "Too close" means that vehicles the size of a van (and larger) cannot fit into the camera's field of view. This can be the case, for example, on one-way streets where there is no footpath on either side, for example, a street narrower than 5 meters.
4️⃣ Clear view: no trees, hedge, flags, fly window, etc. Moving objects will interfere with the recognition of moving vehicles
5️⃣ No intersections/traffic lights: Avoid locations where traffic is completely stationary for more than 30 seconds, especially near traffic lights or busy intersections.
6️⃣ Perpendicular: window should give out perpendicular to the street, not slanted
7️⃣ WiFi connection at the window (only for Telraam V1, not for S2)
8️⃣ Power outlet near the window, as the Telraam needs power.
