Strategic camera placement is just as important as the quality of your cameras. Proper positioning ensures complete coverage and eliminates blind spots.
Front Door Coverage
Position cameras at 7-8 feet high, angled slightly downward. This captures faces clearly while being difficult to tamper with. Include coverage of the entire porch area.
Driveway and Garage
Mount cameras at the corner of your garage or on the house facing the driveway. This captures vehicle license plates and anyone approaching your home.
Back Door and Yard
Often overlooked, the back of your home is a common entry point for burglars. Cover all back entries and areas that aren't visible from the street.
First-Floor Windows
Cameras covering ground-level windows add an extra layer of security. Position them to capture anyone attempting to access windows.
Indoor Camera Placement
Focus on common areas like living rooms and hallways leading to bedrooms. Avoid placing cameras where they could capture private areas like bathrooms or bedrooms.
Height and Angle Tips
Mount cameras 8-10 feet high for outdoor installations. Angle them to avoid lens flare from the sun. Ensure they're protected from weather while maintaining clear sightlines.
Avoiding Blind Spots
Walk around your property and identify areas not covered by existing cameras. Consider overlapping coverage for critical areas. Need help?
