Need help for camera selection and placement. Pics..

Recommended Posts

This is going at my house and will be my demo unit to help with sales. Im going to be placing conduit on back wall to the left of deck stairs and hug the downspout. I need help with where to place cameras and what megapixel. Im leaning towards avigilon but thats mood point for placement and selection. All ip system. Prefer dome style and the rear slider has low light how ever i can keep the outdoor lights on. The rest of house should catch light from street lights etc.

 

Would like to be able to view whos at front door, a dedicated camera mounted under deck on that rear slider. Want to be able to see entire driveway.Want to be able to view deck and deck door. Hoping to do this in 4-5 cameras.Also would be nice to see top of driveway and street and mailbox.

You're welcome.

 

I would've put one in the front entranceway, one by the rearmost light beside your garage door looking towards the street, one on your back deck looking towards the garage, one under the deck close to the garage looking the other way, one on the front left of the house looking towards the driveway, and another one on the side of the house opposite the driveway to view intruders there. Not sure if I'd have it at the back pointing frontwards or front point to the back yard though. Probably back looking front because the under-deck cam would be pointing to that side and back a bit and the two front cams would have a blind spot on that side.

 

1.3MP 3.6mm should be good for most, with maybe 2mp or better for the garage and under-deck cameras as budget allows for detail on the wider area to cover. Maybe a dedicated WDR cam for plates coming in your driveway. Zoom it in aimed at the end of the driveway. That one would catch anything that the wideangle garagecam misses.

 

Where did you stick them and what cameras did you use?
