"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.

"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. During wintertime, a clear view of your yard may become a different story when branches bloom with new foliage in the spring."
Security cameras are growing in popularity and becoming more reliable and affordable. High-resolution footage is often unnecessary, but proper positioning increases usefulness. Avoid placing lenses where static or future obstructions like trees, shrubs, doors, or pets can block the field of view. Seasonal changes such as spring foliage can obscure formerly clear sightlines. Indoor cameras placed to view through windows will encounter glare because light refracts through multiple glass layers and the lens. Choosing indoor-only cameras to save money can introduce visibility problems if placement and glare are not considered.
