Proper placement of CCTV cameras is crucial for optimal coverage and effectiveness. Key areas to consider include:
- Main Entrances and Exits: Position cameras at your front door, back door, and any side doors to monitor who enters or exits your property.
- Driveways and Garages: Monitor vehicles and any access points to sheds or garages where valuable items may be stored.
- Garden and Rear Access: Cover back gardens and side alleys, which are often less visible and more vulnerable to break-ins.
- Blind Spots: Identify areas not visible from main windows or doors and position cameras to cover these “hidden” spots.
Ensure that cameras are installed high enough to avoid tampering and positioned in a way that respects neighbours’ privacy.
