Stop trouble at the edge of your property. Outdoor cameras watch your perimeter, record anyone who approaches, and warn off intruders before they reach a door. Independent advice and a vetted provider to install and monitor.
Brocus is an independent advisor, not an equipment dealer. We weigh outdoor cameras across a vetted provider network and point you to the coverage that suits your property, not the priciest kit.

The best place to stop a break-in is outside, before anyone reaches a door or window. Outdoor cameras are your first layer, and when they are visible, they do as much to prevent a crime as to record one.
This is one of the few areas of home security with strong evidence behind it. In a University of North Carolina at Charlotte study of more than 400 burglars, around 60 percent said a visible camera or security system would lead them to choose a different target. A multi-city evaluation by the Urban Institute found monitored camera systems reduced crime in covered areas, in some cases by close to 20 percent, without pushing it next door.
More cameras is not the goal. The right cameras in the right places is. Cover the front entrance and driveway, since the front door is a common entry point. Cover back and side doors, which intruders prefer because they are hidden. Watch ground-floor windows and any dark corner where someone could approach unseen. A typical home is served well by a handful of well-placed cameras, not a dozen.
If every entrance is already covered and monitored, adding more cameras often gives you little. We will tell you when you have enough, and where a single well-placed camera or a motion light would do more than three more crowded into one view.
Outdoor cameras are the outer ring of a complete setup. They hand off to entry sensors if anyone slips past, and to monitoring that acts on what the cameras see. Working together, footage becomes a response instead of a record you watch after the fact.
Expect outdoor cameras to run higher than indoor ones, since they are weather-built and often carry lights and sirens. Skilled installation counts for more outside, and any monitoring plan is a monthly charge that depends on the provider. We will lay out real figures for your property on the call.
