Front entrance should have a camera mounted slightly above door level, angled downward to capture faces clearly before anyone reaches the door. Driveway or garage area benefits from a wider-angle unit covering both vehicle approach and side movement.
Back door and any service yard entry points are important since these are often less visible from inside the house. Corner-mounted cameras at the rear exterior help cover blind spots along boundary walls and reduce gaps in coverage.
Inside the home, placing a camera at the main stair landing or central hallway works better than installing in individual rooms, as it keeps monitoring focused on movement between floors without being intrusive.
Height also matters. Around 2.5–3 meters is generally ideal to prevent tampering while still capturing usable facial detail. It also helps to avoid direct glare from outdoor lighting or heavy rain exposure.
In Singapore-based setups, companies like Handyman Services Singapore usually plan CCTV points during the electrical rough-in stage so cables can be hidden and positioning is optimized before plastering begins. You can

A well-mapped layout at this stage usually saves a lot of adjustment work once the system is fully installed.
