# Usable Imagery

In order for the mapping data provided by contributors to be useful, it must be [high quality](https://docs.hivemapper.com/honey-token/earning-honey/individual-reward-factors/..#quality). High-quality imagery has the following characteristics:

* **Proper** [**mount position**](https://docs.hivemapper.com/cameras/hdc-and-hdc-s/2.-mount-dashcam) – Centered and aligned with horizon.
* **Free of glare and obstructions** – The dashboard should not be visible.  A miminal amount of car hood is usually OK>
* **Correct lighting** – Hivemapper will map 24x7 but at night there may not be sufficient lighting to always map.
* [**Clear view**](https://docs.hivemapper.com/honey-token/earning-honey/individual-reward-factors/clarity-of-view) **of street** – Focused camera.
* **Authentic location** – Imagery is true to its asserted location and is consistent with imagery uploads in the same area.

Examples of unusable imagery include imagery collected after sunset or with significant glare from a windshield. Unusable data will be rejected by the Hivemapper Network and not earn [HONEY](https://docs.hivemapper.com/honey-token/what-is-honey) rewards. Image quality is assessed via both machine and human feedback.
