A method and apparatus for generating a video image which produces a superior image of a subjects facial features for the purpose of physical identification of a subject involved in a crime. A camera is mounted adjacent to an egress from the premises, directed toward the interior of the premises at approximately the height of a subjects face, provides a clear image of a suspect leaving the premises because the camera is oriented generally horizontally and thus gathers a close-up image of the subject taken from directly in front of the subjects face, and because the sunlight streaming in through the doorway properly lights the subjects face for a video or photographic image. The positioning and angle of the camera makes it more difficult for a suspect to obscure his or her facial features from the camera. In the preferred embodiment the camera is concealed within a height measuring scale, which renders the subject less likely to be aware of the presence of the camera and provides the advantage that employed personnel can use the measuring scale to make an accurate determination of the subjects height as the subject is leaving the premises, to thereby enhance the ability to subsequently identify the suspect.
