Today, the emergence of cutting-edge technology has ensured heightened security, even when there are no security personnel or inhabitants in the home. Security cameras, when installed correctly, are an essential aspect of home security. However, incorrectly installed cameras can render the security system futile since they won’t be able to capture useful footage. So, here are some mistakes to avoid while installing home security cameras: Not installing them at the right spots Many people install security cameras at hidden spots so that they are not noticeable. However, not installing them at the right places can hamper the camera’s line of sight, preventing it from capturing the ongoing events efficiently. It is a good idea to install security cameras focused on areas like first-floor windows, side doors, back doors, and other entrances around the home, so that any burglary attempts made through these entrances are captured clearly. Placing the cameras too high or too low Height is an integral aspect to consider while installing security cameras. Placing security cameras too close to the ground may prevent faces from being captured and impede the investigation process. Similarly, installing them at a significant height can also prevent one from obtaining clear videos of faces; moreover, it makes the equipment susceptible to wear and tear due to harsh weather conditions.
