How Many Security Cameras Do You Need

The characteristics of the areas being surveilled by security cameras are different. Some may be large and spacious, such as your parking lot, the warehouse, and only one security cameras is far from enough; some areas might only need one surveillance camera, such as your reception, the kitchen, the back entrance, etc. 

List the places where you need to install the security cameras and you could count roughly how many security cameras you need. Here's our example:

• Front yard
