Placement Matters
Why Camera Placement Is More Important Than Camera Count
Buying more cameras isn't the same as buying better security. A well-planned 6-camera system often covers a property better than a poorly-placed 12-camera one.
- Entry and exit points always come first โ doors, gates and driveways
- Cameras are angled to avoid strong backlight (like facing directly into the sun)
- Blind spots between cameras are checked and closed during planning
- Height and angle are set to capture faces clearly, not just movement
- Cash areas, storerooms or valuable equipment get closer, dedicated coverage
