Ok, yes, I think I see what you mean. To make sure that the light source itself is not shining directly into the cameras on either side of the garage, right? That makes sense. Perhaps the floodlight cam is one light that is good around 10 feet while the rest of the cameras are better at 8...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and surveillance systems. Trying to figure out where to place my cameras and could use some feedback. I want to make sure I can identify anyone that gets close to an entry point of the house. I guess close would be within 5 feet . I already have an alarm system...

Thanks wittaj. I will see if I can do some tests with a varifocal camera. Totally agree that photography gear is galaxies away from security camera optics, but even if the image quality is vastly different, perhaps using a photo camera as a way to test different fields of view would simplify...

Thanks for the chart. That's super helpful. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't think of a simple way to test all of the camera locations without running wire to everything, and the location is pretty much set at that point.. Do you mean to do all of the cable runs first and then think...
