Saw this on the news and I thought it would be a good example
I gather this is a neighbors cam and he was running through his yard to GTFO
pretty much useless positioning of this security camera, it only catches people coming out of the house, not going in and has almost no chance of getting a good face shot in either directions at these distances for that lens... This video is almost useless other than a clothing description.. just installing it on the other side of the back door would have made a huge difference.
So think about human behavior and put your cameras where there most effective, not most convenient... this is a very common pitfall for DIYers.
