How many CCTV cameras does a house need?

Choose the views first. Let the camera count follow.

List what matters

Start with entrances, a driveway, side passages, garages and any specific concerns. Decide whether each view needs an overview of activity or enough detail to recognise someone at a particular point.

Why one wide view is not always enough

A wide-angle camera can see more space but spreads its available detail across that view. A separate entrance camera may be more useful than trying to read faces from a broad garden overview.

Illustrative layouts

A simple property might use separate front and rear views. A more complex site may add a driveway or side-access camera. These are design examples, not recommended packages: obstructions, lighting and the layout determine what is suitable.

Test the gaps

Walk the routes someone could use to approach the property. Consider changes in level, parked vehicles and vegetation. A survey should identify blind spots and whether future expansion is worthwhile.
