Best spots to put your home security cameras

Where should you install home security cameras?

 1. Exterior: Front door

Statistics show that 34% of burglars use the front door. It's also where packages are taken from. A camera at your main entrance will allow you to keep an eye on everybody in and out of your home. We recommend Video doorbells for the front door with instant notifications. You can use them as the primary camera or in conjunction with other outdoor cameras.

 2. Exterior: Back and side doors

Statistics show 22% of break-ins happen through the back door. To keep an eye on these areas that enter and exit, add cameras to your secondary doors, especially if one of them is used as often or more often than your front door. We recommend a camera with night vision for these areas because they are typically without lights on.

 3. Exterior: Garage and driveway

Garages and cars are a common target area for burglars because garages and cars are open and unlocked. A camera pointed at your garage and/or driveway keeps a watchful eye on bikes, tools, grills, sports equipment, and cars. We recommend floodlight cameras that are motion-activated and provide instant notifications.

 4. Exterior: Wide yard views

Monitoring the front yard will help you deter intruders. It's also handy for capturing the activities of kids, animals and trespassers. As with garages, we recommend floodlight cameras that are motion-activated  with a wide field of view and provide instant notifications

 5. Interior: Common areas

Cameras in the kitchen or living room are a great way to see if the kids are doing their homework, if the babysitter is attentive, what the pets are getting into, or to check on household help. The swimming pool is always a great place to provide an overview of the area for safety. We recommend small cameras that are easy to hide that also provide instant notifications for the interior spaces and wide field of view for the pool area.
