Vacation Home  Camera Location Advice & common questions

  • All exit and entry doors should have security cameras installed near by. This insures that everyone who enters and exits your home is recorded.
  • Consider your valuables, items such as paintings, safes, electronics and rugs should be monitored at all times with a fixed security camera placed nearby.
  • The outside of your home is very important. If you have valuables( jet-skis, watercraft,boats, golf clubs, skis, etc) kept on the property or your garage, install a security camera to monitor and record them. All areas where a potential thief may enter or exit should be covered as all recreational equipment can help lure thieves and make you a target.
  • One of the most popular questions we get with vacation homes is ” will I be able to see the wires?”  Although it is difficult on existing property to hide wires, we only hire the best licensed contractors with many years of experience and make sure we use the smallest cameras and do everything humanly possible to make sure you don’t see a single wire running through your property. Most will run through your attic or crawlspace or which ever the licensed contractor thinks is most fitting.
