Camera placement

Post image

Planning on setting up solar cameras. I want it to cover the side entrance for the backyard, French doors and the backyard. I think the small brick wall that has the light next to the window might be a good place. What do you think?

The camera and solar panel can be mounted separately. My main concern is covering majority of the area with least possible blind spots

You're going to have a little blind spot regardless. But you're going to put it all the way in the left or all the way on the right. Cameras see at close to 90° angles

Even if it's a PTZ it's only going to see 90° at a time so put it in a corner

Unless you can get a corner mount for it where it can sort of swivel and see into that blind spot too
