Hi All,
I've just found this forum, and it seems to be a wealth of information.
We're in the process of building, and we are looking to install CCTV cameras, along with an alarm system.
I figure 6 cameras should give me adequate coverage, however any advice would be appreciated.
I'm looking at using HIK dome cameras from aliexpress, along with a NVR.
Our basic house layout is this (no cameras needed inside)

Do you think i will be able to achieve what I need with the 6 cameras?
The front door (middle green line at bottom) is in an alcove, so this could be a blind spot, although it will be covered by the alarm system.
Do you think camera C3 would be better facing from front to back instead?
I'm a litte concerned about it not seeing the back windows right near it in it's current location.
I would appreciate any advice that you can give me.
Thanks.
PS.
If it changes your advice, I'm in Australia.
Temps range from -5c to +45c, so I'm not sure if that will effect the dome cameras.
NVR will be in a temp controlled environment, so shouldn't be any issues there.
