Full-court view
The camera should see the complete active court from a position that minimises obstruction by spectators, officials and team benches.
New Zealand AI Sports Cameras NZ / New Zealand
Basketball is a strong fit for fixed or repeatable camera positions, and it is one of the clearest documented VAKTAR AI 180 calibration pathways. Court sightlines, mounting height, scoreboard integration and network access should be planned together.

Direct answer
For basketball, use a stable elevated position with a clear full-court view, then add AI tracking, recording, streaming or scoring according to the venue workflow. Do not choose the camera independently of the scoreboard and display strategy if those systems will be connected.
Project decision
Use these points to structure the first project conversation. Final suitability stays tied to the actual site, selected system and local project team.
The camera should see the complete active court from a position that minimises obstruction by spectators, officials and team benches.
Where supported, app-based scoring and compatible scoreboard data can be coordinated with capture rather than operated as disconnected systems.
Permanent indoor venues can often provide more stable power and connectivity than temporary outdoor setups, making live workflows easier to standardise.
For several courts, repeat the same mounting and operating logic so staff can move between spaces without learning a different workflow each time.
Project brief
Frequently asked
Yes. Apollo reviews suitable New Zealand projects through the relevant product pathway. Exact configuration, availability, documentation and freight are confirmed for the actual project rather than assumed from a generic page.
Apollo is primarily supply-only. Local design, engineering, approvals, foundations, electrical work and installation remain with the appointed New Zealand project team unless expressly included in a written project scope.
Send the project location, intended use, dimensions or drawings, photographs, target timing and any known wind, coastal, drainage, access, power or local-compliance requirements relevant to the product.
Next step
Send the site, dimensions, intended use, quantities and known local requirements. Apollo will review the relevant product pathway and keep local engineering, approvals and site-work responsibilities explicit.
