"Maria Diaz/ZDNET If you're a subscriber to the Nextdoor app, you've seen plenty of footage of prowling ne'er-do-wells caught in the eye of a video doorbell or home security camera. Hopefully, you don't have firsthand experience with suspicious characters milling around your front porch, or far worse.

"While we don't necessarily require super high-res imagery from these discrete little devices, you can get the most out of them by being mindful of a few factors -- especially where you position your camera(s). 1. Avoid obstructions (even future obstructions) Obviously, you won't be putting a lens behind anything that blocks its view. Sometimes, though, that can include objects that change in size or shape over time, like trees and shrubs."
Security cameras continue to grow in popularity and are expected to become more reliable and affordable. Cameras provide useful images for spotting suspicious activity when positioned thoughtfully. Positioning should account for both present and future obstructions such as trees, shrubs and seasonal foliage, as well as movable interior objects, doors, furniture and pets that can block a camera’s field of view. Indoor-only cameras placed behind window glass will suffer glare and optical refraction from multiple layers of glass and the lens, degrading image quality at certain times. Selecting outdoor-rated cameras for exterior monitoring and avoiding direct window placement yields better, more reliable footage.
