Tips for Optimal Placement of Security Cameras

Security cameras are an essential component of any home or business security system. They provide valuable footage that can help to identify burglars or other criminal activity, which can lead to their arrest and prosecution. However, the placement of security cameras is crucial to their effectiveness. Here are some tips for optimal placement of security cameras from Bulldog Security Screens.


Choose high traffic areas

  1. Installing cameras in areas that experience high foot or vehicle traffic is an effective way to deter burglars. Additionally, it makes it easier to identify any suspicious activity that occurs.

Cover all entry points

  1. Make sure that cameras cover all entry points, including doors, windows, and garage doors. This will ensure that any potential break-ins will be captured on camera.

Keep cameras out of reach

  1. Mount cameras high up on walls or ceilings to prevent tampering or theft. Alternatively, install them in protective housings that are designed to prevent damage.

Use outdoor-rated cameras

  1. Ensure that outdoor-rated cameras are used outside. These cameras are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

Avoid direct sunlight

  1. Position cameras away from direct sunlight to avoid glare and distortion. Direct sunlight can cause problems with the image quality, making it difficult to see any potential threats.

Don't overlook dark areas

  1. Make sure that cameras cover dark areas where burglars could potentially hide. Install cameras in areas such as alleys, corners, and other dimly lit areas.

Consider the angle of view

  1. Choose cameras with a wide-angle view to cover a larger area. This will allow you to capture a wider range of activity and ensure that there are no blind spots.

Proper placement of security cameras is essential for an effective security system.
