I'm going to install 2 cameras in my patio.
I could install them at 2.6m/8.5ft height, however, at that height one pole of a pergola covers the top area of the fence, so if somebody starts climbing the fence, my cameras won't see them until AFTER they have jumped the fence.
If I install them at 2m/6.5ft, the camera angle can see the top part of the fence so it would see the head of somebody trying to climb as they start climbing it.
While I know that usually it's recommended to install cameras at out of reach heights, I was wondering if it's okay to install them at 2m in this case, since the patio is fenced and is somebody reaches the camera it has already trespassed and alarms/notifications, etc should have already started.
