Need suggestion for front door

Have you considered lower? These domes are vandal resistant and even if defeated, you have a picture by then if you mount it so it can't be approached without capture. The issue with cameras mounted high is yes it puts them out of reach, but anyone can avoid being captured simply be wearing a peaked cap pulled low in combination with keeping their head down. A hoodie also disguises the hair colour and length. If mounted at typical head height ie 5ft-5ft 6" or similar, then it's much harder as the camera has a full on face view and only a full face mask or scarf and sunglasses can avoid it.

Personally I'd place more weight on securing the NVR than the cameras. Lose a camera, and it's on camera, lose the NVR, and you've lost not only the NVR but also all the footage and evidence. I don't currently have working CCTv setup, but if I did, my choice of location for the NVR would probably be the roof space or cellar with a very sturdily locked door and maybe if in the cellar, a locking video recorder style protective casing.
