Where Security Cameras Are Most Useful Around a Home
Camera placement matters more than camera count. Here is where coverage usually pays off around a home.
- 24/7 Emergency Availability
- Local, Pittsburgh-Area Service
- Professional Workmanship
Think About Coverage, Not Count
A few well-placed cameras usually beat many poorly placed ones. Start with the areas that matter most.
Entry Points First
Front and rear entries are the highest-value locations. Cover the approach, not just the door itself.
Driveways and Yards
Driveways and side access are common blind spots. Coverage here helps with vehicles and deliveries.
Entrances and Side Access
Side gates and basement entries are frequently overlooked. A single camera can close a large gap.
Recording and Review
Decide how long you want to keep footage and how you will review it. Simple, reliable access matters more than resolution alone.
