WHERE TO INSTALL AN OUTDOOR SECURITY CAMERA?
I CAN NOT INSTALL IT IN SUCH A WAY TO COVER ALL OF THESE AREAS, HOWEVER THESE ARE MY OPTIONS.
- GARAGE DOOR (NOT ALARMED)
- FRONT WALKWAY
- FRONT DOOR (ALARMED)
- DRIVEWAY
- GATE TO BACK GARDEN (CAN BE CLIMBED OVER)
JOE, READ THE DETAILS YOU SARCASTIC @SSHO|E!
I second the other recommendation to point it at the back gate. And there are a couple of things I would add are that, when you purchase these systems, they will usually come with software that will monitor the cameras and alert you with an sms or email when motion is detected. Check to see if that is included in what you are getting. If you want to secure your driveway, consider a driveway alarm. You can purchase them from Amazon and they start out at around $20 and go up from there. Depending on the kind you get, they can detect someone walking down your driveway or just a car. Here are some reviews on some that I have used:

When you install that one camera, be aware of where your lights are at in your backyard. A light facing the camera may obscure the image at night. If you get a night vision camera, go for the one with the biggest lens you can get. A bigger lens will let in more light and get you a better image. Here are some sample photos from a night vision camera:

Like the other contributor said, most people will just come right up to your door and kick it in. Many burglars would drive their truck up, kick in your door and ransack your house.
Do you have security signs in your front yard? Those are good as a deterrent. I would also consider putting a "Beware of Dog" sign in your backyard. Sounds silly, but a dog makes everything uncertain for a burglar. They may be able to get around your security system, but they would worry about a dog.
Ensure your phone lines are protected going into your house. If you can, have them buried. Don't have any high bushes around windows since that will provide cover to break in. Walk around your property often checking for any signs of activity. I check mine very frequently and you will be surprised at what you find. I bet when you put that camera in, you will be shocked at how much goes on outside your house while you are not at home.
