Good questions, seems if you were designing or providing quotation for a bid you would RFP these questions. However if you are blazing the path into a city environment you might want to dig around to see if the proposed surveillance has had a CLIA "Civil Liberties Impact Assessment" within your bid region. Privacy and anonymity laws will vary between jurisdictions. A cost benefit draft may also be needed for the public to understand the why and how of the camera solution. I am sure there are many start up needs that will differ in various countries in the world. Always have a plan because if you cannot explain it people wont understand it.

In regards to height I would consider the speed of the traffic flow congested and uncongested. Sometimes you are not going to get the angles you need to accommodate the environment, the more eyes the better. I wish I could answer your questions but more data is needed.
