recommended to setup the device near the center line of the field (as
shown below). If recording in training mode, setup the device near the
middle of the field as well.

• Please try to align the back center mark towards the center line of the
target field. This applies to all recording modes, except for basketball
half court mode. This will make sure the camera covers the whole field.
