    new installation - how to place cameras?

    Think about two cameras under the carport pointing out right and left side. No higher than 8 ft, need to check for door checkers. At least one camera at the front door point down to the package drop area. I have cameras inside pointing to each outside door. Cameras out side pointing at the doors.
