3 Places You Can Install Home Surveillance Cameras

March 27th, 2023



Home surveillance cameras are a great way to prevent thieves from breaking into your Houston, TX house. The presence of a security system alone can really help decrease the chances of a burglary. Statistics show that homes are at a 300% higher risk of being burglarized when they have no security system in place. 

Simply installing home surveillance cameras, however, is not enough. Their effectiveness can be hampered by poor placement around your home. Read on to learn about three ideal spots where you should install your surveillance cameras at home.

Front And Back Door

If you had to choose only one or two spots to have your home security cameras installed, the best option would be any of the entrances to your house. Protecting these crucial areas is essential to keeping your home safe. Start by making sure your main entrances (front and back) are equipped with at least one video surveillance camera. This allows you to keep an eye on your property 24/7. Whether you’re at work or half across the world, you can alert your neighbors and the authorities if you notice anyone suspicious lurking anywhere near your property. If your budget allows it, you may also have a video security doorbell installed right by your front door to avoid having to open it to communicate with unwanted or unexpected visitors outside.

Garage And Remote Entrances

A lot of house burglars like to get creative with how they break into certain homes, especially ones with home security cameras that only protect the front door. Remote entrances such as those for basements, garages, and sheds that lead into the home are very common entry points for house burglaries.

Because a lot of residential homeowners only protect their main entry points, burglars have grown to like using other entrances as they are often discreet. For an extra barrier of protection against criminals and all other unwanted visitors, install video surveillance cameras in these areas as well.

All Hallways

No matter how many cameras you install outside your home, highly persistent and determined intruders will still force their way in to get what they want. If this happens to you, it’s ideal to have a surveillance camera protecting all of the hallways in your house so that you can track which rooms the perpetrators gain access to. You can use this to protect yourself later on with video evidence you can present to your lawyer, the authorities, and even insurance investigators.

Home security goes beyond just setting up a surveillance system to help you watch your Houston, TX house at all times. There are a lot of things that can put your house at risk, and a professional home security provider can point these things out. With extensive knowledge and experience, they can identify risks and offer the best security solutions for your home. Work with a professional home security provider today to ensure that your Houston, TX home is as safe as possible.



"Steve I just wanted to thank you and your partner Ray Kindsfather for the fine work you men did installing the security cameras around my home. The quality of the pictures is excellent, the clarity in day or infrared mode is exactly what I was looking for. What good is a camera if you can't identify the person and these cameras will greatly assist the police in identifying a perpetrator. The computer side of the job is easy and fast with very little adjustment time for me in finding what I want to see. Software and hardware get A+++++ no doubt about. The Ring is equally easy to use and the quality of the camera is equally strong. The installation was clean and fast. You maintain a clean site, it’s like you were never here. You answered all my questions with pin point accuracy. Integrity suits you well. Your answers were honest and to the point. Refreshing in today’s world. All and all you and Ray make a strong team at DWS Technology LLC. I have no problem recommending you to friend or family, home or business. God bless you both with your business. I will call you for future installations. "

"Ray, in reviewing several different security cameras there were many good products, but none met my criteria of clarity and no long-term contract. Raymond, you showed me one product that caught my attention with the clarity and distance viewing that I could not get with other systems. The zoom after a few feet became distorted with the other systems but with the Alibi NVR package you demoed, we could zoom in and out with clarity which made this product stand out from all the rest. The NVR system is so simple, in fact, anyone can configure the system to suit their needs. You can monitor your home from your smartphone or tablet and having security cameras makes it a great deterrent for criminal activity. DWS Technology delivered as promised! Your installation crew worked clean and treated my home as if it was their own. Great attention to detail! I will recommend DWS Technology to anyone! Great job guys!"
