I don't do residential camera installations (long story). However, when I perform retail camera installations, I try to think like a criminal when planning. For some, that's easier to do than others, but I watch a lot of cop shows ;-). I try to put myself in the perpetrator's shoes...and where they would have to pass before doing their deed. I focus on getting the best facial recognition shot I can...preferably with a light source behind the camera. Another primary goal is to get the best shot of a license plate, but that can be next to impossible. When in doubt, run plenty of spare cable in case the camera needs to be moved in the future. Every structure will have it's own challenges and easy calls. That's what makes it fun.
