Security camera spot

When installing a security camera, the location is an important factor. That is why we at Alarm System Expert advise you to mount the camera in a corner of the room in question . Minimizes the blind spot (the part the camera doesn't capture). Do not choose a corner with a window or door underneath, because this way an intruder can easily disconnect the security camera from below. With this advice you give the security camera a place that produces an optimal result.

Security camera height

Did you know that the ideal height of a security camera is 1.65 when you want to film people? This height gives you a good view of the perpetrator's face. But you have to be careful that the camera is not hung within reach, because then the camera is an easy target for vandalism.

In addition, the height is very important when installing a security camera. A common mistake that is made is that a security camera is placed directly above a valuable object. The result is a shot from above, making it difficult to identify the intruder. By hanging the Hikvision or Dahua camera a little lower, identifying the intruder is easier. Is it impossible to install the security camera at this height? Then choose a place that is further away from the object!

Install security camera

Using the tips described, you can now place the security camera in the correct position. We recommend that you place a camera at every outside door , because this is often the exit for an intruder. For an optimal result, you can set the cameras on the inside and outside of the door. When you choose an IP camera, it is possible to film multiple doors or objects at the same time. In addition, it is wise to take (sun) light into account if you are going to install a security camera.
