You installed cameras. You feel protected.

But if those cameras are not positioned correctly, you may have security equipment without actual security.
Most people place cameras at the front door and assume the job is done. Intruders know this blind spots are not accidents, they are opportunities.
Where Your Cameras Should Actually Be:
  1. Entry and exit points beyond just the front door side gates, back entrances, and parking areas all count.
  2. High-value zones like server rooms, storage areas, and cash handling points need dedicated coverage.
  3. Blind corners and stairwells are easy to overlook and easy to exploit.
  4. Camera height and angle matter. Too high and you capture heads, not faces.
One More Thing
Cameras should overlap in coverage. If one angle is blocked or tampered with, another should pick it up.
A proper installation starts with a site assessment not a drill and a wall.
At Max-Tech I.T Solutions, that is exactly how we do it and more.
