You put a lot of trust in your home security cameras. Sadly, that can come back to bite you.<\/p>\n

Security researchers\u00a0found flaws with a major brand<\/a>. Namely, they weren\u2019t encrypting private footage. Yikes.<\/p>\n

Beyond brands, there\u2019s placement to consider. I compiled a list to ensure the essential spots are covered and you\u2019re not making big mistakes.<\/p>\n

Most burglars want the most straightforward<\/a> route into your home. Set up cameras inside and outside your ground-level doors. Don\u2019t forget any side and back doors, either.<\/p>\n

In the event of a break-in, you\u2019ll capture a clear image of their face as they walk up to your door and see everything they do once inside.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Put cameras in the bedrooms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of us don’t want to deal with switching our cameras on and off. Sure, some come equipped with automatic home and away modes, but the idea of a camera catching personal moments makes me uncomfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a scary thought: Someone hacked into your security system. Check these signs if you suspect it happened to you.<\/a><\/p>\n

Placement makes a world of difference. The worst place you can put a camera is on the ground. You might step on it, your dog might shower it (if you know what I mean), and it doesn\u2019t record usable footage.<\/p>\n

The higher, the better. This placement means your camera will be able to get the whole picture. Having cameras eight to 10 feet off the ground<\/a> means you\u2019re more likely to see an intruder\u2019s entire body, which can help police narrow down the list of suspects if it comes to that.<\/p>\n

Not only will you make guests uncomfortable, but you may also violate the law. It\u2019s illegal to record people without their consent in places with an expectation of privacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I get it. You have medication or something else you want to keep an eye on. A contractor once stole my mom’s pain pills from her medicine cabinet. Instead of putting up a camera, I put a motion sensor on the medicine cabinet door.<\/p>\n

Sensors are an excellent way to stay safe without a digital eye always watching.\u00a0Here are more smart places to stick one.<\/a><\/p>\n

The goal of a security camera is to capture as much quality footage as possible. Placing a camera in the corner will give you a complete picture.<\/p>\n

Just about anything can be a hidden camera, no joke.\u00a0Here\u2019s how to spot them in an Airbnb, VRBO or another rental.<\/a><\/p>\n

Most burglars break in through obvious spots<\/a> like windows or doors. Keep it simple and point the lens towards places with much traffic.<\/p>\n

Avoid obstructions like plants, tree branches or backyard jungle gyms. Put your camera up high, so running pets or rowdy kids don’t throw them off.<\/p>\n

Do: Put up signs<\/strong><\/p>\n

People act differently when they know they\u2019re being recorded. I have signs in my yard telling anyone they are being recorded. These $12 signs on Amazon<\/a> include stakes to put in the ground.<\/p>\n
