Double width driveway

[Omar Mohammed]

Hi,

I have a double width driveway leading to a double garage, approximately 12m wide and 8 metres long.

Would you recommend 2 cameras, 1 to cover each car, or just 1 camera to cover both cars????

I have 2 security floodlights, 1 over each garage door, thus the driveway is very well lit at night.

Any thoughts, ideas or recommendations ideas would be appreciated.

This really depends on what you are trying to accomplish and where each camera would be placed. One single 3.6mm camera mounted high would probably provide decent general coverage but would probably not produce evidentiary video.

The height would be approx 10ft, and I am looking to get good evidentiary video.

Basically, 6 months ago, I had 2 cars stolen off my driveway, so have had alarms fitted etc...but now want a good CCTV camera, both as deterrant, but also to use as evidence

I have 3 cars in my driveway and I have 3 cameras covering them. I want good facial ID if anyone comes around messing with my cars.

attached is a picture of the double garage...the area to cover is the tarmac/asphalt area

HI Omar,

You have a high threat issue there then - so I would definitely use more cameras

Thinking of 3, one on each side of your 2 car brick garage - and then one on the house or fence corner covering the approach to the parking locations.

Even with good light at night I would look at a Dahua OEM starlight and keep it running in color mode at night.

Thanks @mat200 will definitely do that then, as thats what I was leaning towards. I will probably add a couple more to cover a few more angles.

Thanks again
