How to Optimize the Total Area with Security Cameras to Get Proper Security?

Whether at your home or office, security has become our biggest concern as there are so many terrifying things are happening out there and you want to stay protected and keep your assets safe. Though, Singapore is considered as one of the lowest crime rate countries that doesn’t mean that you can leave your door open while leaving your house and expect everything to be in position when you will come back. 

With advanced technology, the concept of securing your home or office has moved from normal lock and keys to the best biometric access control system. Now instead of carrying keys, you can open your door using your fingerprint or Iris.

When we are talking about security, we cannot forget about the surveillance system. Let’s discuss the best places to install the security cameras.

Tips for outdoor camera placement

• When you are installing a security camera, deciding the height of the placement is very important. You must not install it too higher or at a lower height, but you can keep it in between 8-10 ft that will allow you to capture every detail.
• Make sure that your CCTV camera isn’t directly pointed towards the sun as in that way you will never get a clear footage. So, while placing the cameras, consider the movement of the sun. You must buy the high-resolution cameras that can record finer footage even in the lower light. You can always check the CCTV camera prices online according to the specification.
• You must place the security camera is a place where it gets very hard to detect. A sharp thief or burglar will know that you have several security cameras at your home and there are some common places where people install the cameras. But if you install a camera, which is very hard to detect, but still give you a complete view of the area.
• Buy the CCTV camera according to the climate of your region.

Tips for indoor camera placement

• The best place to install an indoor security camera is to place them at the corner of a wall, which will allow you to cover the whole room.
• When installing an indoor camera, don’t point it directly towards the glass windows as there will be reflection.
• You shouldn’t point the camera directly towards the light too as it will give you the same effect as the sun for your outdoor camera.

Areas to avoid while installing a security camera

Like you won't install a biometric device at your main entrance or exit and not on your bedroom, similarly, there are some places where you should not install a security camera.

Places that may violate other’s privacy

The law of infiltrating anyone’s privacy is different in every country, so you must check the rules of installing a security camera in Singapore before the installation process begins. If you don’t install your CCTV cameras according to the guidelines of the state, you may have to undo your installation later. But, in general, you aren’t allowed to capture a broader area outside of your main gate, like the entire lane. You may face legal issues if your CCTV camera captures the footage of your neighbor’s house, especially the bedroom and the bathroom.

Bedroom and bathroom

You want to keep track of your kids or the elderly person and that is why you are installing a security camera. But, that doesn’t mean that you will install one in your private spaces, like the bedroom and the bathroom.
