Good camera placement captures faces and activity instead of the tops of heads or empty sky.
Mount cameras about eight to ten feet high, angled slightly downward, and cover entry points, driveways, and gates. Avoid pointing cameras directly into bright light.
Pin Tip
Test each angle at night as well as during the day.
Stay Within the Law
Use cameras to protect your own property, never to record places where people expect privacy such as bathrooms or bedrooms of others. Recording laws vary, and audio recording carries extra rules. When in doubt, speak with an attorney before installing or using any surveillance system.
