The correct answer is B) The monitor screen should be tilted upward to avoid reflection of overhead lighting.
The statement that is *not* correct regarding CCTV monitor placement is tilting the screen upward to avoid reflection of overhead lighting. Tilting a screen upward would typically increase the angle at which light from overhead sources reflects into the operator’s eyes, worsening glare and reducing visibility. To avoid reflections from overhead lights, monitors should ideally be tilted slightly downwards or positioned to avoid direct light sources.
Correct practices for CCTV monitor placement often include arranging large arrays in a curve for better viewing angles (A), avoiding stacking to reduce neck strain and improve horizontal scanning (C), and arranging screens logically according to camera location to aid situational awareness (D). Reducing reflections is crucial for operator comfort and effectiveness, and tilting upwards achieves the opposite when lights are overhead.
