Today
you can get several indoor and outdoor CCTV home cameras at a
reasonable cost. These security cameras are quite handy and can be installed
without any help from the professional technicians.
Still,
we would suggest you hire the professionals as they know how to install the
cameras perfectly. Here in this article, we are going to give you some tips to
strategize position and install your new surveillance devices.
Indoor
security camera placement
- Hanging the indoor cameras at the
corner of a room will give you a better point of view to monitor the
entire room.
- When you are installing a CCTV camera, make sure not to pint them towards the glass window as it will
cause reflection. Most of the security cams have Infrared Light technology
that allows motion detection and enables them to function even in low
light. If the IR light reflects at the glass window, it will obscure the
footage, especially if the room is dark. So, if you are getting washed or
white-out footage, it means there is a reflection issue going on.
- But if it is extremely important
to point the cameras towards the glass window, position the lens as closer
to the glass as possible. Besides, if you have such needs, buy a security
cam that comes with Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology.
- Like the glass window, you
shouldn’t angle your indoor CCTV cam directly towards the light. When the
light will be on, you will not get the perfect footage as they will look
washed out.

Outdoor
security camera placement
- When you are installing the
outdoor CCTV Singapore, be very precise about the height. The ideal
position to install the outdoor security cams is 8-10 feet above the
ground. This height is low enough to get the complete footage of a person,
while high enough from anyone’s reach.
- You don’t want to point your
outdoor cam directly towards the Sun as it will do the same thing to your
footage as a room light bulb or LED would. That is why you should hire the
professionals as they know the right angle that won’t be affected by the
movement of the sun.
- Before installing the outdoor
cams, you need to decide if they should be visible or hidden. Visible
security cameras are effective enough to prevent a burglary from
happening. But they can also be targeted and destroyed if the thieves or
burglars know the position. That is why some homeowners of Singapore buy
fake cameras and keep them in the open and hide the real cameras.
- You cannot leave your outdoor
cameras unprotected as there will be harsh wind, rain, and even snow.
Though there aren’t any specifications for indoor and outdoor cameras, try
to buy the outdoor cams according to the climate of the region.

installation tips
Follow
these installation tips to keep yourself away from future headaches.
- You must test your security cams
before the installation process begins. Operate the cameras to make sure
that they are well-functioned and then move to the installation process.
The last thing you would want is to find out that your security is not
working properly after complete installation.
- You should stay away from any
hardware equipment that can damage the cams or its components.
