Hey all, I'm still pretty new to the whole home security thing, but am looking to add a camera to our driveway. I'm debating between adding it in the center vs corner (see images). I measured the driveway which is 16.5' x 23' to sidewalk (10' from end of driveway to street). The facia board with the jasmine plant is ~8 ft above the driveway. I can add the camera onto the front or bottom of this. The corner angle can go on a higher board slightly forward from the garage if that makes more sense. I'll ensure the jasmine isn't in the frame compared to my pics ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
This camera just needs to cover the driveway and entrance to the path to the backyard (left side of pics). I have a camera already on the sideyard facing this path which covers our side door. We also have a doorbell camera which covers the porch. I still need to handle the entrance on the other side of the house, but I'll think thru that later as the wiring is much more complicated.
I'm looking for the driveway to have a floodlight on the cam as well. We face across the street to greenspace with a light already so I'm less concerned with false positives but want to configure to only trigger on the driveway, not the sidewalk. I run Blue Iris (NVR) as well as Frigate (notifications). Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if you need any more details!
