Description of supermarket door
The exact German phrase is:
"Kameras die den Ausgangstürkoffer erfassen sind so zu platzieren, dass der vom Filialverantwortlichen eingegebene Zugangscode nicht einsehbar ist"
I have looked in various sources for this term - I assume that "Türkoffer" is equivalent to "Türrahmen" = door frame but it might be something different in a large supermarket exit door.
Thanks in advance

exit door area
I am not suggesting that "Koffer" means area. Google tells us that Türkoffer, Türrahmen and Türzarge are used synonymously and refer to the door frame. However, I doubt if door frame would be right in your context ("Kameras, die den Ausgangstürkoffer erfassen, sind so zu platzieren, dass..."). The context requires a broader, a more generic term, IMO, and surveillance cameras make me think of the door area. After all, cameras are usually set up in or around the front/rear door area, yes ?

: The door area extends further from the door jamb, which is not the point/ focus of the security camera.

exit door jamb / exit door frame
There are no hits for the combination "camera" + "exit door area" on Google.
Exit door area sound OK but it's just not used with "area". The door area is more than just the immediate door space; that space is bigger, expanding away from the door.
Jamb is exactly what the camera is focusing on. It's the narrow, limited space just around the door.
