Description

Most home cameras are pointed at the wrong thing. After 31 years with the CIA, the first thing I ever did on a building was walk it and find the way to the back that nobody was watching — and almost every camera I see on a house today is aimed at a door or a window instead of the one route a stranger actually walks. In the next half hour I walk you around your own property and show you the 7 places a security camera actually earns its keep, in the order people get them wrong — and the blank side wall almost nobody covers, which is the best footage on your whole property. You will learn why 40 pixels across a face is the number that decides whether your camera gives a police officer a face or a grey shape, why you aim a lens ALONG a path and never across it, how to trade height for distance so you never need a ladder, the one camera that should be a decoy (and where it goes), the indoor choke point that is the only frame that will ever identify anyone, and the gas-meter gap on the side of your house that is the only way in that crosses nothing. None of it is about brands, apps, or your internet. Most of it you can do this week with a screwdriver. Tell me in the comments which of the 7 you have never once had a camera on. The one with the most comments gets its own full video next. Everything here is public, legal, and about protecting your own home. #homesecurity #securitycamera #seniorsafety #homedefense #cctv #burglarproof #protectyourhome #crimeprevention
