The camera must be positioned to capture a "split" view. It cannot point only at the pots, nor only at the floor.

Zone A (Stove Top): The camera must clearly see the burners/heating elements. This is required for the Heat Detection logic (checking if Temp > 80°C).

Zone B (Standing Area): The camera must see the floor space immediately in front of the stove. This is required for the Human Presence Detection logic (checking for moving pixels between 25°C - 38°C).

Under-Cabinet / Range Hood (Best): Mounting the device high up, looking down at a 45-degree angle, is often ideal. This usually captures the stovetop in the upper half of the frame and the chef's torso/legs in the lower half.

Note on Rotation: The firmware defaults to 180-degree rotation (IMAGE_ROTATION 2), assuming the device might be mounted upside down under a cabinet.
