The strategic installation of your surveillance cameras is essential to ensure optimal security of your home. Improper camera placement can leave blind spots and reduce the effectiveness of your security system. In this article, Tike Security guides you to identify the best locations and optimize your property’s coverage with reliable, high-performance equipment.
Understanding Your Monitoring Needs
Before Installing Your Cameras, It’s Important To Identify Areas That Need Attention.
Assess Areas To Monitor
Outside: Prioritize access points like front doors, accessible windows, gates, garages, and gardens.
Inside: Focus on the main entrances, hallways, stairs, as well as rooms with valuables.
Define Your Goals
Deterrence: Install visible cameras to deter intruders.
Discreet monitoring: Use hidden templates to capture suspicious activity without detection.
Protect Primary Access Points
1. Entrance Doors
The front door is the first access point targeted by intruders. Place a camera above or on the side of the door to capture visitors’ faces clearly.
Recommendation: The Tike Security 8501 IP Dome Camera provides discreet surveillance and a clear view in all circumstances.
2. Accessible Windows
Windows located on the ground floor or near a roof or balcony should be closely monitored.
Recommendation: The IP Camera Design 3 enables effective monitoring of these vulnerable points from the inside.
3. Garage And Driveways
Garages and driveways are often neglected but strategic areas for safety.
Recommendation: The 4-channel NVR POE video surveillance system with 4 intelligent motorized cameras is ideal for monitoring these spaces thanks to its motorized cameras.
Covering Strategic Outdoor Spaces
1. Garden And Dark Areas
Gardens and other outdoor spaces, especially areas with low light, should be monitored continuously.
Recommendation: The 4MP Solar Outdoor Motorized IP Camera is perfect for these areas thanks to its solar autonomy and weather resistance.
2. Secondary Inputs
The rear and side doors, often used by intruders, should also be covered.
Recommendation: The 8-channel XVR video surveillance system with 4 domes and 4 cameras ensures complete coverage of secondary accesses.
Securing Sensitive Indoor Areas
1. Valuable Coins
Rooms containing valuables, such as a trunk or electronic equipment, deserve special attention.
Recommendation: The 5MP 360° IP Ceiling Camera offers a panoramic view ideal for monitoring an entire room.
2. Common Areas
Monitor hallways and stairs to track movement inside the house. Good coverage of these areas makes it possible to detect intrusions.
