    I found it useful to take a more clinical approach to security cameras. I've installed a few sites including my own property and use an analytical method to determine where to place cameras. 1. Assess the threat. - You must have some idea of why you want to install video security. Maybe someone once entered through a window or stole from a garage. List all opportunities and rank them in order of impact then likelihood of happening. 2. 2 is 1. - For high risk zones a single camera may be taken out by a potential intruder. Overlapping zones of surveillance with cameras that have a view of other cameras provides a record of attempted tampering. 3. Whites of their eyes. - Avoid positioning cameras so high to prevent tampering that you cannot identify the face of an intruder. Its useless to record the top of someone's head or his/her cap. Positioning so that camera is at a 45
