The best location to hang a security camera

  • 13 Sept 2021

To get the most out of your camera system, correct installation is crucial. Unfortunately, things often go wrong during installation. Because where and how you hang a security camera ultimately largely determines how much benefit you get from your camera system.

  • The height at which you hang the cameras
    First of all, an important point to pay attention to, regardless of where exactly you hang the camera. Because the height of a security camera is decisive. If you choose a position that is too low, they are easily accessible for burglars. They sabotage your camera by walking towards it through a blind spot. So hang them so high that you cannot easily reach them. At the same time, a position that is too high also hinders usable recordings. Because it makes faces unrecognizable. The angle of the camera allows you to look at people on top of the head. Moreover, most burglars choose to wear concealing clothing. A cap or other form of head covering immediately makes the images even more unusable. Therefore, do not hang your cameras higher than 3.50 meters.
  • The angle and field of view of a camera
    You get the most out of your cameras when they film a lot at the same time. Moreover, the intention is to fully visualize certain passages and rooms. This means that burglars have no way of sneaking past the field of view. In general, a corner is a suitable place. Because from there you can oversee an entire room. The walls ensure that a burglar does not walk towards the camera unnoticed.
  • Good places to hang your cameras outside
    Criminals try to enter your home through every possible access route. The front and back doors are used a lot. The same applies to windows that do not directly look out onto the street or are placed out of sight of passers-by. It would be a good idea to at least cover those access roads with cameras. A driveway with a carport is also a popular place for burglars. Because there they go about their business unnoticed. Install a security camera to monitor this part of your home. Mounting your surveillance camera behind your window seems attractive. Because you film the area around your house while the device itself hangs safely indoors. But a camera that films through windows produces mediocre images. The infrared function is even completely unusable.
  • Smart places to hang cameras indoors
    You can keep an eye on criminals who have entered your home with smart cameras in your smart home system. Most homes have quite a few rooms. That is why it is not feasible to install a camera in every room. Particularly secure rooms where there are many valuables. There are probably quite a few appliances in your living room. Try to capture as much as possible with one camera. In addition, it is smart to provide passageways with extra security. Because burglars will undoubtedly walk through this when they search your house. Good examples are a staircase, a hall and the landing. Mounting your surveillance camera behind your window seems attractive. Because you film the area around your house while the device itself hangs safely indoors. But a camera that films through windows produces mediocre images. The infrared function is even completely unusable.

How many security cameras do I need

  • 13 Sept 2021

A question we often receive: how many security cameras do I need? A question that is difficult to answer. Since the type of surveillance camera also plays a role. Therefore, when putting together a system, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What kind of network do you have?
    Do you work with physical internet cables or separate WiFi points? Is there a strong internet connection or are there weak points where there is little or no internet? It is good to take this into account during the selection process. Are you willing to improve the network? By moving cables or installing additional WiFi points? Then it is advisable to think about this carefully. This makes it possible to use a PowerLine Adapter. Where you work with Power over Ethernet (POE) technology. And an internet connection via the electricity network is possible. This way you can be sure that all security cameras will work later. And you can immediately enjoy razor-sharp images!
  • Do you want to expand the system later?
    Check how many channels a recorder has. One security camera can be connected per channel. There is a maximum number of cameras that can be connected in both analog and digital systems. Is it not possible to expand an existing system? Then you need an extra system with new channels. It is also possible to choose a security camera without a recorder. This is called a standalone surveillance camera.
  • What do you want to portray inside?
    You can display your precious belongings indoors. Do you have a pet or children? You can also monitor this with an indoor surveillance camera.
  • What do you want to portray outside?
    In the outdoor environment it is nice to have a security camera both at the front and behind. Are you missing an image on the side? Then consider installing additional cameras there as well.
  • Do you want to record images at night?
    To record images at night, it is important to choose a security camera with infrared lighting. These are images in black and white. Faces are often easy to recognize due to the high contrast. Do you want to record at night with all security cameras? Or just part? Make this choice when putting together a system.
  • Do you want to make recordings at the front door?
    It is also nice to hang a camera at the front door. A door camera or door spy. This creates a safe feeling and is ideal when someone is at the front door when you are absent. With a door camera you can see who is there and it is possible to speak to someone remotely. It's like having a short video call with someone. As is also possible with Skype, Zoom and Facetime.
