Where Should CCTV Cameras Be Installed Around A House?

Planning to install 4 or more CCTV cameras at home? Camera placement matters just as much as camera quality. The wrong position can leave blind spots, while a properly planned system can provide much better coverage of your property.

Recommended CCTV Camera Locations for a Home

For a typical house, consider covering:

Main entrance & front door – Monitor visitors and anyone approaching the entrance.
Garage / driveway – Keep an eye on vehicles and the approach to your property.
Back entrance – A commonly overlooked access point that can create a security blind spot.
Side passages – Useful for monitoring narrow areas around the house.
Stairways & common areas – Consider indoor cameras where additional monitoring is required.
Garden / rear boundary – Protect larger outdoor areas and vulnerable entry points.

A 4-camera system can be an excellent starting point, but the ideal number and positioning depend on your home's layout, entrances, boundary walls, lighting and areas requiring protection.

Get the Placement Right Before Installation

Professional planning can help reduce blind spots, avoid unnecessary cameras and ensure important areas are properly covered.

Choose professional CCTV camera installation for a camera layout designed around your property—not a one-size-fits-all setup.
