Security cameras are an excellent way to enhance the safety of your home or office. However, where you place them on your property has a huge impact on their ability to alert you to intruders or capture important footage. Read on for several tips when considering their location. 

Location Tips for Security Cameras

1. Identifying High-Risk Areas

Consider where a break in would most likely happen, such as your front and back doors, as well as areas of your property hidden from view of neighbors and those passing by. These are the areas you want to monitor most for unwanted activity.

2. Considering Height

While selecting the highest vantage point ensures you get a wide perspective over as much of your property as possible, it will be much harder to identify an individual from so far away. Consider a middle-ground when deciding on height. 

3. Taking Light Into Account 

Unless you are using a night vision security camera, it’s also important to choose a well-lit area. Parts of your property illuminated by flood lights or outdoor lights are ideal. Or, you can install lights if you have a spot that’s too dark but still needs surveillance.
