Proper placement of your security cameras is crucial to ensure the highest level of security for your home.
You can effectively monitor your property and deter potential intruders by covering key entry points,
high-traffic areas, and vulnerable spots.
Below are some of the best places to position your security cameras for optimal performance.
EXTERIOR CAMERA PLACEMENT:
DRIVEWAYS:
Position a camera to capture any vehicles or individuals approaching your home.
This will help you monitor activity at a distance and record what happens before anyone reaches your door.
FRONT DOOR:
Install a camera at the front entrance to clearly capture visitors, delivery personnel, or potential intruders.
A doorbell camera can be especially effective for monitoring front-door interactions.
BACK DOOR:
Do not neglect rear entry points, which burglars often target.
Place a camera to monitor back entrances or any other less visible access points.
SIDE ENTRANCES:
If your home has side doors or gates, position cameras to keep an eye on these areas, as they may be less secure and hidden from view.
WINDOWS:
Mount cameras near windows, especially on the ground floor, to monitor any suspicious activity outside or attempted break-ins.
THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY:
Consider placing cameras along the edges of your property, including corners and fences, to detect movement around the perimeter and spot intruders before they get too close to your home.
INTERIOR CAMERA PLACEMENT:
MAIN ENTRYWAYS:
Install cameras at main entry points like the front door, back door, and garage to monitor who enters and exits your home.
HALLWAYS:
Position cameras in hallways to capture movement through common areas.
This ensures you can track movement in your home.
LIVING AREAS:
Place cameras in high-traffic areas such as living rooms and kitchens to monitor family activity, deliveries, or intruders.
STAIRWELLS:
If your home has multiple floors, mount cameras to monitor stairwells for access to upper levels, ensuring no one can move around undetected.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPTIMAL CAMERA SETUP:
MINIMISE BLIND SPOTS:
Ensure you place cameras in locations where they can cover every angle, leaving no area unmonitored.
Pay attention to obstacles like trees, furniture, or walls obstructing views.
HEIGHT:
Install cameras at an appropriate height to avoid tampering or obstruction, ideally out of reach but with a clear line of sight to the area you're monitoring.
CAMERA ANGLES:
Adjust the angles of your cameras to capture a wide area, avoiding glare or shadows that may affect the video quality.
LIGHTING:
Ensure proper lighting, especially in dark or shaded areas.
Night vision cameras can enhance visibility at night, but additional lighting can improve image quality and deter intruders.
WEATHERPROOFING:
For outdoor cameras, choose weather-resistant models to ensure they continue to function in various weather conditions, from rain to extreme temperatures.
WI-FI SIGNAL STRENGTH:
Test the Wi-Fi signal strength in the installation areas for wireless cameras to ensure a stable connection and avoid weak signal zones that might affect camera performance.
CONSIDER PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION:
If you are unsure about optimal placement or want a professional setup, consider hiring an expert. A trained installer can help identify blind spots, adjust angles, and ensure everything is correctly set up for maximum effectiveness.
SSS offers expert guidance to ensure the optimal installation of your CCTV cameras, maximising security and surveillance effectiveness.
By carefully placing your security cameras and taking these additional factors into account,
you can significantly enhance the security of your home, providing peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook. This retaliation happens on social media and creates doubt about our integrity and ability. Doubt created on social media platforms is both unwarranted and untrue. We strongly recommend that you make up your minds concerning me and our organisation only after considering all the factual information - to the exclusion of hearsay and assumptions. Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions. While the internet provides a lot of valuable information, it is also a platform that distributes a lot of false information. The distribution of false information, fake news, slander and hate speech constitutes a crime that can be prosecuted by law. Your own research discretion and discernment are imperative when choosing what and what not to believe.

Excellent articles. Thanx for sharing and making us aware of all these dangers.. Where can we get a quote on those cameras. Do they only work with WFI ?
Here in the country we don't have WI-FI.
