Install a POE camera near your front door or driveway
It seems quite obvious to keep an eye on your front door and driveway with a security camera. Nevertheless, this does not always go well. While more than a third of intruders still enter through the front door. Even if they choose a different route, the burglar may have at least walked past your front door. So at least you still have the perpetrators on camera. Furthermore, thanks to this camera you can keep an eye on who is walking in and out of your home. So stealing packages left at your door by the delivery person is no longer an option.
A smart doorbell is not always an alternative to a security camera
Many people see a smart doorbell as an alternative to a security camera. For that reason, they do not install any security at their front door. In some cases that is sufficient. But a smart doorbell is not always in the right position. This makes it possible to approach the bell without being detected and then penetrate.
Hang a camera near all doors
Does your home have a back door? Then install a security camera there. The same goes for any other side entrance. Doors behind and on the side of the house are often less visible and poorly lit. This makes them potentially a more attractive target for burglars than your front door.
Keep an eye on your backyard
A well-sheltered backyard is ideal for thieves. Out of sight of local residents, they have every opportunity to consider their options in peace. If they make little or no noise, they also have more than enough time to penetrate. That's why it's always a good idea to hang a camera in your backyard.
Install security cameras in your home
In the Netherlands you see more and more cameras hanging around homes. It will probably take some time before home security becomes popular. Because that is certainly a valuable addition. For example, hang them around stairs, central spaces and passageways. Keep in mind that in some places it is inappropriate to hang cameras. These include bedrooms, toilets and bathrooms.
Take the privacy of neighbors and passers-by into account
In the Netherlands it is not permitted to continuously film public roads or your neighbors' private property. Pay close attention to this when hanging cameras. It would be a shame if a conflict arose while you were only trying to increase safety.
