Keep cameras up high

This will protect cameras from vandalism and provide a wider coverage area.

Keep under shelter

This will reduce the impact precipitation has on the quality of security footage.

Obstruction-free

Don't make obstructions the point of focus to maximize the field of view.

Point away from light

Mount the camera so the lens is pointed away from sources of light.

Protect camera cables

Install on the side of buildings, soffits or ceilings to conceal the cables.

Obvious placement

The mere appearance of security cameras can deter potential intruders.
