Where do you install security cameras?

CCTV security cameras need to be installed in the right locations to capture the important goings-on of your home or business.

The first places you should install them should be covering the front door and the back door, and then first floor windows, where the trouble is most likely to occur. After that, you can look at placing them at the four corners of the building to create an image of the entire perimeter.

Be sure to pay attention to the field of view, as well, and avoid placing in locations that create blind spots. You want to be able to see everything happening on your property.

And, if the security camera installation is being done outdoors, be sure they are waterproof and weather-resistant, withstanding moisture, high heat, and freezing temperatures.
