1. Record from a steady camera angle behind the court

• Record from behind the court, eg. not from the sides. The ideal recording spot is behind the court in the center.

• Record from a completely steady camera angle. We recommend using either a tripod or a wall mount to hold your camera steady during the recording.

  <aside> ⚠️ Our AI cannot process handheld video recordings or videos that change camera angles during the recording (either because the camera was physically moved or because the video uses different camera angles like on TV).

2. A high camera angle

The camera angle should be higher than 2 meters for singles and 3 meters for doubles. A high camera angle ensures that the entire court can be clearly seen and that players on both sides of the net can be accurately tracked.

3. Full court in view

• The full court should be in view, including all four corners of the court. This ensures that the AI can accurately detect the court, including where on court the players are.
• Make sure you have enough space behind the court to be able to record the backline closest to the camera. Usually this requires that you place the camera at least 3 meters behind the court.

<aside> 💡 Tip: if there isn’t a lot of space behind the court, then it makes sense to use a wall mount for your camera instead of a tripod - and zoom out until you can see the backline.
