Security Systems Planning: Coverage, Storage, and Clarity

Security isn’t about “more cameras.” It’s about usable coverage and clear recording.

1) Coverage plan

Start with the most important zones:

• Front door and driveway
• Side gates
• Backyard access points
• Common interior areas (as appropriate)

2) Aim for identification

Camera placement should support:

• Face-level angles when possible
• Avoiding direct sunrise/sunset glare
• Enough resolution and lens choice for the distance

3) Storage options

• **NVR local recording** for reliability
• Cloud or hybrid for convenience and off-site redundancy

4) Network and power

Cameras are easiest to manage when planned as a system:

• PoE where possible
• Proper cabling and labeling
