What is the most common camera placement mistake?

The most common mistake is installing cameras where they look impressive but do not capture useful evidence. Examples include mounting cameras too high, pointing them at the sky, using one wide camera to cover too many areas, ignoring side gates, or failing to test night visibility. Another common mistake is relying only on a doorbell camera while leaving the driveway, garage, backyard, and side yard uncovered. Good placement focuses on approach paths, faces, vehicles, entry points, and detection support.
