Technology can help you prepare for the holiday season in a multitude of ways. Home security cameras are one of the best ways to monitor your home while you’re on vacation as well as to keep any eye on things during the day.
If you’ve bought a home security camera, you need to find the optimum places to set it up.
The front door, back door and first-floor windows are three of the most important locations that you want to cover, but one bonus to placing your security camera by the front door is that it also functions as a great digital “peephole” to help you see who’s at the door before you answer it.
Another thing to keep in mind when trying to find a location to place your camera is exactly what type of camera it is.
If it only has a focus range of 45 to 75 degrees then you need to ensure that it’s should be aimed at specific areas such as your doorway. If, however, you have a wide angle camera you can place your camera where it can see 75 to 180 degrees without any obstructions. If you have a rotating camera then it would be best if you checked with the included instructions as to how much unobstructed view your camera needs.
If your security camera is outside and not under an alcove, you need to ensure that it’s water-resistant and that it has long lasting battery life.
You also need to put your security cameras up high on the outside of the home so that they’re visible, but not easy to reach. The last thing that you want is for your camera to be stolen.
