Security cameras are a worthy investment that can deter burglars and give your family peace of mind. Whether you’re planning to install them yourself or hire a professional to do it, you’ll want to know the most effective places to put them. Here are Robblee's Total Security’s picks for the best places to install security cameras in your home.

Where Should You Install Security Cameras?

1. Front Door

Since most burglars enter houses through the front door, it’s one of the most effective places to put a security camera. To prevent a would-be burglar from tampering with it, you can either put it on the second-floor level or enclose it in mesh wiring. Some homeowners choose to put one in the eves of their house and train it on the front door instead. 

2. Off-Street Windows

Burglars will often break an off-street window to avoid getting spotted by neighbors or someone passing by. Installing security cameras trained on your side and back windows will catch them in the act.

3. Basement Stairs

If your basement has an access door or windows big enough to crawl through, you might want to purchase a security camera for your basement. Installing a unit on your basement stairs will record intruders accessing the rest of your home through your basement.

4. Backyard 

If burglars don’t want to risk breaking into a home, sometimes, they just hop fences and raid backyards. To protect your lawn equipment, bikes, and any other valuables you keep outside, consider installing a security camera in your backyard or shed.
