Best place to mount window/door stickers?

[flatface]

I made some stickers to put on the windows/doors around the house to bring attention to the CCTV system. Think "smile, you're on camera", but slightly less silly.

What do you think is the best sticker placement for doors? The stickers are purple, I thought this might make them visible enough when you're near the door, but not be a bright yellow or white square that stands out from the street.

Close to the door handle for maximizing their chances of being seen by a visitor?

Close to the doorbell (for non-windowed doors) for the same reason?

In the top corner of the door or window? To hopefully draw their eyes up closer to the cameras (above the doors), but might be less likely to be seen at all.

Kind of a weak thread topic, but still would like to hear from those who use these stickers.

Personally Eye level, Also I have 8x11 signs that state by entering my property they agree to be Video and Audio recorded.. Then on some areas of the property where I have Video Signs I will have audio alarm that states they are in Detection zone, then if they hit the next trip wire it will state they are being Audio and Video Recorded.. I like big cameras as a way to help try and deter bad actors..

Agree with clearly visible without having to look down.

Mine just say
" Get right with Jesus
before entering uninvited"

I have the "Security Alert 24 Hour Video Surveillance" sign from Amazon(Around $9) just above the mailbox.

I will say the best thing I ever did was installing perimeter sensors in key access locations. I want to know right now if someone has entered the forbidden zone after business hours so to speak.

Even camera alerts can sometimes be delayed, or I may not hear the ding on my phone or be asleep.

But the base station has adjustable volume and different ringtones for each sensor that will wake you up and/or be heard throughout the house.

I like knowing bad guy is within 25-30 ft of an access point. That gives me 30 seconds or so to shake my head, grab firearm and flip on the pretty red beam before he makes the bad choice of crashing the door/window

Of course there’s always that joker raccoon that stands up right in front of the sensor doing his human impression at 2am but it’s rare

What system are you using for this?

Well I've been using Guardline for over 10 years, (still have working units from 2016) great product and customer service... BUT.. they seem to have recently gone out of business? Or more likely I see copies under other brands so i think maybe they sold out to someone.

I know two brands that are also well thought of, eMACROS and Dakota Alert. All are essentially the same
