Coverage planning
Plan the view before choosing the equipment.
Camera height, lens choice, field of view, and lighting determine whether footage is useful. A wide view may establish context, while a tighter view may be better for identifying activity at a specific doorway or gate.
The planning conversation also accounts for privacy, landscaping, architecture, and the locations where power and network connections can be handled cleanly.
Entries and approaches
See the paths people use to reach the home, not only the door itself.
Video doorbells
Add a conversational view at the primary entrance where the property and system support it.
Exterior conditions
Account for glare, deep shade, weather exposure, and changing light throughout the day.
Existing systems
Evaluate which cameras, wiring, or network components may remain useful before replacing equipment.
