Best Places to Install Security Cameras at Home (Ontario Guide)
Where to put home security cameras, how high to mount them, Wi-Fi vs wired, and how to respect your neighbours' privacy.
Smart Wi-Fi cameras, wired PoE systems, video doorbells and floodlight cameras, mounted in the right spots and set up on your phone before we leave.

A security camera only helps if it sees the right things clearly, day and night, and alerts you without false alarms. We install smart security cameras for homes and businesses across Hamilton and the GTA: mounted at the right height and angle, wired neatly, connected to your Wi-Fi or recorder, and set up on your phone.
Smart security camera installation includes planning camera positions to cover entrances and driveways, mounting each camera securely at the right height and angle, running power or network cable neatly, connecting the cameras to Wi-Fi or a recorder, and setting up the phone app with motion zones, alerts and privacy settings.
| Camera type | Power and connection | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi plug-in | Outlet power, Wi-Fi | Indoors, porches, garages |
| Battery / solar | Rechargeable, Wi-Fi | Spots with no power nearby |
| Video doorbell | Existing doorbell wiring or battery | Front doors and parcel delivery |
| Floodlight camera | Hardwired to an outdoor light box | Driveways and backyards |
| Wired PoE with NVR | One network cable per camera to a recorder | Full home or business coverage, no Wi-Fi drop-outs |

We mount outdoor cameras about 8 to 10 feet high, angled slightly down, so they capture faces rather than the tops of heads and are hard to tamper with. Read our guide to the best places to install security cameras.
Cameras should focus on your own property. We aim them away from neighbours’ windows and yards and set privacy zones in the app where a public sidewalk or a neighbour’s property is in view. If you have questions about recording rules for a business or a rental property, check them before installation.
We install cameras for houses, townhomes, condos (where the building allows), rental properties, offices, retail stores and restaurants. Business systems can include more cameras, a recorder in a back room and remote viewing for owners and managers.

Wi-Fi cameras are quicker to install and fine for a few cameras near a strong signal. Wired PoE cameras with a recorder are more reliable for full coverage, larger homes and businesses.
Yes, in most homes. We check your existing doorbell transformer and wiring, and use the right adapter or a battery model if needed.
Usually 8 to 10 feet, angled slightly down. That height captures faces clearly and keeps the camera out of easy reach.
