Interior Camera Location Marker
1. Overview
When working with interior cameras in Evercam, aligning a camera to the BIM requires knowing the exact physical location of the camera inside the building. Unlike
exterior cameras, interior cameras cannot be located from the scene alone. To proceed with BIM alignment for any interior camera, the site team must provide the camera’s
location marked on a 2D floor plan. This applies to all interior cameras on the project, not just individual cases.
2. Why Is This Information Required?
The camera location on a floor plan is essential because it allows the BIM team to:
• Identify the correct floor and room where the camera is installed.
• Determine the camera’s position and orientation within the 3D model.
• Accurately align the camera view with the corresponding BIM elements.
• Ensure consistency across all interior cameras on the project.
3. What We Need From the Site Team
Please provide the following for each interior camera:
1. The floor level (e.g., Ground Floor, First Floor, etc.).
The name of the room or area where the camera is located.
The camera’s approximate position marked directly on the 2D floor plan (a dot, marker, or annotation is sufficient).
4. Example — Camera Location on a 2D Floor Plan
The image below shows a good example of how the camera location should be provided. The red dot labelled “Camera location” is placed on the 2D floor plan, clearly
indicating the floor (First Floor) and the area near Chambre 1 at grid line C.
