Any general suggestions for camera tracking?

Thanks a ton!
Well our team bought a strip of led light that is flexible, the problem we had was the light source has to be as close to directly inline with the camera as possible, the retro reflective reflect directly back from where it is shined, so the close to your lens the better results youll get, so our team has the leds rapped right around the camera
