Installing home security cameras is one of the most important decisions you may make for security. Where to install a camera outside the house? Front, back, and side doors, inside or outside, in the yard or the garage? Are they necessary inside? Being a professional locksmith company that has been providing security services for more than three decades, we're more than happy to assist you with choosing the best spots for your home cameras.
Imagine you're a burglar – are you the one who breaks down the front door or hides behind the trees in the yard to enter through the garage door at the right time? In both cases, homeowners would quickly detect if they had cameras installed in the right places. So, what are the “right places" to install your security cameras?
