Indeed, I was thinking about putting 3 camera's on each side of the house to get as much coverage as possible. Thanks! There are various 40W lights in the yard so it isn't pitch dark. But the camera's need to be good at night. The fence is very high in the back and side so I don't really think someone can easily jump over the fence. I think a general overview of the yard is fine, except for the front where I would like to have an overview of the street as well. I think the problem with the yard is that it's wide. Placement is indeed another problem. I though about placing them evenly along the house. No, not that easy as that? Thanks! Great tips about placement. Indeed, visible cameras are a deterrent (ususally). I'm not really a fan of IR. Do the IR lights last a lifetime since they're on all night?

Hi everyone, I need some help with building a security/camera system for my home. Burglaries are getting out of hand in my area so I desperately need a system asap. I don't know anything about security systems and cameras so that's why I'm asking for assistance. I will be asking someone to install the system. I'm willing to spend about $350 to $400 per camera. I would like to keep an eye on what's going on in my yard for when I'm not home or asleep. Very important is that the cameras need to be very good at night (there are a couple of lights in the yard however they're not very bright). I've attached a diagram of my house/yard (the lot is around 130 feet wide and 200 feet deep) with the following notes: RED = fence YELLOW = garage BLUE = doors ORANGE = main entrance but not used BLACK = gate GREEN = small gate PURPLE = lights Thanks!
