Are There Blind Spots in Your Current Camera Setup?
Most property managers install cameras with good intentions—but many systems leave critical areas uncovered. These blind spots quickly become liabilities, leading to theft, vandalism, or liability claims that could have been prevented. Use this checklist to assess whether your current setup is leaving you exposed.
Security Camera Coverage Checklist
Are all entrances and exits covered?
Main entrance, side doors, emergency exits, service entries, loading docks should all be monitored.

Parking entrances/exits, covered garages, visitor parking, and reserved spaces require surveillance.
Do you have coverage of mailrooms and package areas?
Mail centers, package lockers, delivery zones, and Amazon lockers should be monitored.
Are stairwells and hallways covered?
All floor landings, corridor intersections, and dead-end hallways need visibility.
Do cameras monitor elevators?
Both elevator interiors and elevator lobbies on each floor should be covered.
Is the perimeter and fencing monitored?
