If you’re thinking about installing a Home Security Camera System.

You’re probably asking yourself; Where should I consider installing home security cameras…

Take into account and consider the following:

• Exterior: Front door

A camera at your main entrance keeps a watchful eye on everybody going in and out of your home (from family members and babysitters to maintenance people, delivery people, packages   and more).

• Exterior: Stairs, Patios, Windows, Back and side doors

To have knowledge of everyone who uses, enters and exits, add cameras to your secondary doors; especially if one of them is used as often or more often than your front door, or if a particular window seems enticing or accessible to a potential intruder.

Doors and Windows which are out-of-sight allow visitors to enter undetected, whether they’re invited or not and in the case of windows if accessible may allow undetected intrusion.

• Exterior: Shed, Garage and Driveway

A camera or cameras pointed at your shed, garage and/or driveway keeps a watchful eye on these areas in which will provide detection and identification of bikes, tools, grills, sports equipment, cars and everyone that handles them.

If your shed or garage is detached, the camera(s) helps you detect and monitor activity in those areas.

If your or garage is attached, this extra layer of security monitors another possible entryway into your home.

Sheds and garages are a common target of burglars because they’re one of the easily accessible weakest entry points.

If there’s a gate at the end of your driveway, you may want camera(s) there to spot anyone attempting to get in or to detect and monitor the driveway activity.

• Exterior: Yard

Camera(s) covering your yard will help you keep a watchful eye on anyone scoping out your house from the outside and is particularly handy for capturing the activities of kids, animals and trespassers.

• Interior: Common areas

Cameras in points like the living room, dining room or kitchen is a great way to see if the kids are doing what they’re supposed to do, if the babysitter is attentive, what the pets are getting into, or to check on household help like cleaners and repairmen.

Consider prioritizing any rooms that have large ground floor windows, that way you can see if anyone tampers with them or uses one as a break-in point.

• Interior: Main stairway or hallway

A camera in the main thoroughfares inside your home to make it difficult for someone to move about undetected.

If someone breaks in through a ground floor window, bathroom, bedroom or another unmonitored area, they’ll still be captured on camera if they move about the house.
