Keeping your family and valuables safe takes much more than advanced surveillance equipment and home security systems. It also requires a thoughtful approach and to ensure that every component of your system is installed to maximize the benefits for you and the deterrence level for criminals. Detect-All Security, specialists serving clients throughout the Cincinnati, OH, area, has some tips for choosing the best location for your security cameras.

Place cameras at the most common break-in points, including:

• The Front Door: Surprisingly, more than a third of thieves break in through the front door. Place the camera high enough to see anyone who approaches your home and cover it with mesh so that it can't be easily diverted or destroyed.
• Windows: Even the most security-conscious homeowners occasionally forget to lock their windows. However, even a secured window can be an easy entry point for a determined thief. If you have windows hidden from the street or the views of your neighbors, consider placing a camera that covers that side of your home, or put one inside your home to catch the face of any intruder.
• Back Door: Backyards present more opportunities for thieves to approach your house unseen. Again, install the security camera so that it's out of reach and protected. In many cases, the presence of security cameras alone will be enough to deter criminals.
