This guide is based on the installation conditions Zentro reviews across homes and small businesses in the Greater Toronto Area. Final recommendations depend on the property and equipment.
Start with approach routes
Prioritize the front entrance, driveway, side access and backyard. These areas usually provide more useful identification and movement coverage than simply adding cameras everywhere.
Avoid duplicated views
Each camera should have a clear purpose. Overlapping views can help at critical entrances, but unnecessary duplication raises cost without adding meaningful protection.
Typical planning range
Many detached homes can be covered with four to eight well-positioned cameras, but lot shape, landscaping, garages and side entrances can change the requirement.
Security Camera Installation
From camera placement and cable routing to recorder setup and mobile viewing, Zentro delivers a complete surveillance system for homes and small businesses across the GTA.
