Designing video surveillance at the villa: avoiding blind spots and making the system work effectively

Why do even installed cameras often fail to protect the house? In the last 5 years of working on properties on the Côte d'Azur, I see the same situation: The system is there. Cameras are installed. But in fact - there is no real security. Typical mistakes in video surveillance installation (that make the system useless) ❌ Cameras are placed 'around the perimeter' rather than for specific scenarios ❌ The behavior of potential intruders is not analyzed → blind spots remain ❌ Cameras are mounted too high → faces cannot be identified ❌ At night, the camera shows a silhouette instead of a person What this means for the villa owner: - Someone can enter the property without being captured by any camera - Even if caught on camera, the intruder cannot be identified - There is footage, but no evidence The thief can calmly do their job and remain unpunished. How to properly design video surveillance: 5 steps 1️⃣ Modeling the behavior of the intruder - where and how they will try to break in 2️⃣ Placing cameras for specific scenarios, not just where it is convenient to mount 3️⃣ Closing all blind spots - no exceptions 4️⃣ Using quality equipment - often less is needed 5️⃣ Setting up remote access and control - see what is happening at any moment Why you should trust me: I do not sell equipment - so I speak the truth. My goal is to make sure the system actually provides security, not just an illusion of it. If video surveillance is designed correctly, the intruder understands this even before trying to climb over the fence. And most of the time - doesn't even attempt it. Free diagnosis of your system!
