Outdoor security cameras should be positioned in areas with a clear view of entrances, exits, and other areas of potential security risks. This includes the front door, back door, hallway, garage, driveway, and yard. Additionally, cameras should be placed around windows and other potential entry points.
Most commercial-grade security cameras have a lifespan of five to ten years. The lifespan of security cameras is influenced by build quality, environmental conditions, and the type of camera in question.
Security cameras generally use one of three main power supply options: plug-in (12V DC), battery power, or Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Most outdoor cameras can detect motion within 20 to 30 feet (6–10 meters). However, more advanced night cameras with infrared or long-range sensors can detect motion up to 50 to 100 feet (15–30 meters) or more, especially in low-light conditions.
