What are the best locations for installing outdoor security cameras?

I recently moved to a new neighborhood and want to ensure my home’s security. With the rising concerns about local break-ins, I’m considering installing outdoor security cameras. Could anyone advise on the best locations for these cameras to maximize coverage and deter potential intruders? I’m particularly interested in spots that are effective yet discreet, so the cameras are both functional and unobtrusive.

When installing outdoor security cameras, consider the optimal positions: front doors, side and back doors, windows, and garages. Place cameras above or near these areas, as over one-third of burglars enter through these doors. Position cameras to cover these common entry points, monitor off-street windows, and secure your garage with a camera. Proper placement enhances deterrence and increases the chances of identifying intruders.
