Across the US, there has been an increase in the number of home invasions and home burglaries. Strategically placed home security cameras and home video security systems can provide around-the-clock monitoring, and alert you if an intruder is trying to break into your house.

Front Door – The majority of thieves enter a house through the front door. Installing a security camera, with an unobstructed view of your front door, enables you to monitor visitors and activity.

  • Mounting the camera on the eaves of your roof on a single story or second story home, angled at the front door can provide coverage of the area.
  • A varifocal camera enables you to easily adjust the camera’s focal length and field of view.
  • Vandal resistant security cameras provide protection against tampering and physical impact from thieves who may try to vandalize the camera to prevent being captured on video.

Back Door – Did you know that the back door is the second most popular area of entry for home burglaries? Installing a security camera with a clear view of the back door enables you to monitor this vulnerable entry point.

  • A vandal resistant security camera can prevent tampering and provide protection against physical impact.
  • Make sure your back door security camera is unobstructed. Keep landscaping and shrubbery trimmed near back doors to ensure you capture any and all activity.
  • Vandal resistant security cameras provide protection against tampering and physical impact from thieves who may try to vandalize the camera to prevent being captured on video.

Backyard – The backyard of your home is enticing for thieves to gain entry into your home, and steal high-ticket items from your property. Thieves can break in and enter your house through backyard french doors or sliding glass patio doors.

  • Many thieves target backyards to steal lawn equipment, grills, recreational vehicles, and other items. Make sure you keep these items locked up and monitor the backyard and storage areas.
  • A high-resolution infrared camera (IR) camera can provide low light and nighttime surveillance capabilities.

Garage – Oftentimes thieves enter a house through an open or unlocked attached garage.

  • Always keep your garage door locked, even while you are home, and don’t keep your car in the driveway with the garage door opener inside, making it easy for a thief to enter your home.
  • Installing a video security camera with a clear view of the garage and driveway can help deter home break-ins and theft.
  • Motion detection recording can help you eliminate sifting through video footage where nothing is happening and reduce hard drive storage requirements.
