When it comes to your family’s security, always trust your gut. But it’s also important to ask yourself some tough questions and play devil’s advocate.

PROTECT YOUR HOME WITH WELL-PLACED SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS
For example, one critically important question to ask yourself is where do you (and your family members) think you need security cameras? Another is to determine what are the most vulnerable spots on your property?

Still more questions to ask are do you have hidden or obscured entrances, windows or doors that would be particularly appealing to burglars? Have you or past owners experienced break-ins before? If so, where?

Point is, you know your home best, so you are uniquely qualified to evaluate how to keep it safe from intrusion.

Once you’ve decided on the locations of your cameras, you have to determine whether you’ll install your cameras where thieves can see them,–to serve as a deterrent but where they can be easily broken–or if you should put them out of reach where they may hide from burgling eyes but will always catch the thief on video.

I recommend a hybrid method: install your real cameras out of reach (and possibly out of sight), and then place dummy cameras – the kind that look completely authentic, of course – around your property. That way, if a burglar does break one of your cameras, it’ll be an inexpensive dummy – and you’ll have a video of the act too.

Here are five spots you should always install a home surveillance camera:

1. Front Door
CCTV CAMERA FRONT DOOR APARTMENT
An estimated 34% of all burglars enter your home through the front door, so you’ll definitely want to train one of your surveillance cameras here. To prevent a thief from knocking out your camera, place it at second-floor level, or even in the eves of your house, and train it on the front door. If your home has just one level, consider enclosing your front door camera in mesh wiring to protect it from errant rocks, sticks, or other weapons.

Expert Tip: You can install a high-tech camera, so you can see who’s knocking before you open the door

OUTDOOR CCTV
2. Back Door
Another 22% of home burglars enter through the back door, so you need a camera here, as well (and if you have side doors, they count as back doors for sake of statistics). The bottom line is, arm each entry door with a camera. Again, make the effort to place your camera out of the reach of human hands, or to protect it from projectiles, like rocks or sticks or anything an intruder might hurl at it.

Expert Tip: Be sure to install a camera that’s both weatherproof and is equipped with night vision.

3. Off-Street Windows
Burglars often enter a home by breaking a rear window. By choosing a window that is not in direct view of the street, they decrease their chance of being caught and buy some privacy to do the dirty deed. Get a jump on them and train a camera on any area of your home with windows that cannot be viewed from the street.

Expert Tip: You’re best option here is to install a wireless security camera that has remote control capabilities and can be operated from a mobile device or tablet.

4. Backyard/Side Gate
Crooks love a good backyard, since they’re often brimming with expensive lawn & garden machinery, recreational equipment, and kids’ toys. Arm your yard with motion-sensor floodlights and a night vision surveillance camera to protect your home and belongings. If your backyard is fenced in, make sure your camera has a view of the entrance gate (or install a second camera there).

Expert Tip: Place a camera in plain sight. Most times, just seeing a security camera is enough to make a home intruder move on to another home. From a value perspective, ZMODO makes the most affordable yet highly-rated backyard security systems.

5. Basement Stairs
Many basements have access hatches/doors, or at least small windows that are large enough to crawl through. Place a camera on the stairs leading up from the basement to your home to record any wayward prowlers who sneak their way into your home via the subterranean route.

Expert Tip: When it comes to securing your basement, you want to install a motion sensor security camera that comes with night vision. Many home security providers offer motion-sensitive cameras with infrared night vision, but few compare to the line of security cameras from TENVIS.

Hey, pal. Frankly speaking, I use the same places, hmm that's good) Long story short, I bought these after the reading of the article "Battery Powered Wireless Outdoor Security Camera Reviews For 2020", I had been looking for a CCTV cameras for many months, for the price compared to many other CCTV cameras they are very Good, the positive thing about this one is the wireless fitting of the cameras, it uses Wi-Fi (up to 100 feet on the instructions), simply plug in the sync unit into a socket near to the router, download the app onto your phone or tablet, fill in a few details, enter the code for each camera into the app, put in the two AA lithium batteries that come with them, it took me 10 minutes to set up, decide where you want the cameras, comes with screws. It's the best on an angle for the motion detection to pick up movement, they are not the quickest to activate on detection, often getting only after they have passed by and the side or back of the person, you can alter the sensitivity in the app as well as the record time, they are small and discreet, a blue light comes on when recording, the picture quality is clear, although you cannot zoom, the night vision is good too, the recordings do take a while to come through to your phone app, you can go into live view and take a photo, records up to 14 days, you can share the images via the app which is easy to use and free. I liked so bought another camera, you can add many more to the sync unit.
