Camera Placement Methodology for CUI Spaces

Camera placement for CUI spaces should begin with the protection objective, not a camera-count target. Map controlled approaches, entrances, transfer points, storage areas, service corridors, and potential bypass paths before selecting views and equipment.

Coverage must support detection and investigation while respecting operational and privacy constraints. Document field of view, lighting, blind spots, camera hardening, network path, retention, administrator access, and the process for exporting evidence.

Integrate video decisions with PACS and IDS events where correlation improves response. The design should be traceable to the facility risk assessment and the applicable NIST 800-53 controls, with clear ownership for maintenance, testing, and review.
