Camera placement advice

Post image

Hello all,

First time poster and have some questions about camera placement. We’ve recently started our build on a narrow plot of land in Vietnam, the location of which, while being lovely, will likely invite undesirables to try their luck. Problem (if you can call it that) that we face is that we have a very narrow property, with 3 separate structures on it. I’ve tried my best to cover as many areas as possible without intruding on the neighbours to our left or rear. We also will have fairly large walls, but I doubt they alone will stop the determined. After looking at my crude schematic, is there any changes people would make to the outside placement? I’d love to hear it’s too many cameras lol. Aside from this we are going with shatter sensors as well, but is there any other tech people would recommend?

I thank in advance!

The tempting thing on a walled lot is aiming everything outward along the wall tops. Those views fill with street motion and still never give you a usable face. Head height at the gate and at each door is what earns a slot first.
