Moved this to a new thread in order to keep things manageable

Attached is a Google sat image of our property with current overview cam locations. Any suggestions on Z4E locations?
You’re taking additional not replacement of existing right?
I would move the PTZ to the front middle red line for starts
Yes, additional cams for close up shots
Not an option. Location isn't high enough to locate the PTZ cam to and it would be pretty much at the front door if I could - that's a big no from the WAF unit
Cameras need to be inconspicurus, especially on the front of the domicile

Do you have a gate that enters your backyard? Do you feel you need coverage of anyone coming in through the gate?

Is that a pool house? Do you need coverage of it?

@mat200 would say you need coverage at your mailbox and the end of your driveway.

You could try to cover the approach from both directions on the street, but it may be hard being on the corner.

Yes, and it is covered
Is that a pool house? Do you need coverage of it?
Yes, and also covered

Mailbox is covered by the end of driveway cam

As I'm finding out. Not really any opportunities to get views looking down the street either way on the front of the house as there isn't enough length to do so. Plenty of room to do so on the south side, but I already have that covered.

The whole purpose of adding cams for identification is to focus on humans walking and on bikes and scooters in the front of the house. None of the cameras on the front can do so currently as they are either 2.8 or 3.6mm cams.
 
Ok, attached is the additional locations I came up with. Not ideal in that looking down the street (not enough length/corner lot). It's the best that I can come up with

Yellow line/arrows would be the 2 new locations - both around 60 feet. Any thoughts?
