23 Places to Put Your Indoor + Outdoor Cam

Home security means more than just locking your doors when you leave. According to U.S. reports, a property crime happens approximately every 3.8 seconds  — and it includes everything from break-ins and larceny, to car theft and burglary. But what can you do when your locks don’t suffice? 

That’s where our Indoor + Outdoor Cam comes in handy. Rain or shine, day or night, this versatile gadget will keep your home safe and keep you covered. We designed it to be weatherproof, while still being compact enough for indoor use (it’s no bigger than a Rubik’s cube). Out of the box, users can unlock basic features like 1080p Resolution, Color Night Vision, Built-in Siren to deploy from anywhere, Live and Recorded Video, Sound Detection, and Cloud Storage. But when you add Cam Protect ($1.99/month) you get 40+ features (like Person Detection, Two-Way Audio, Zone Detection) and $250 of theft and damage reimbursement. Kangaroo literally pays you back when your packages are stolen or your camera catches damage from a break-in.

At just $39.99, why stop at one corner of your home? Whether you want to watch out for trespassers, nosy neighbors, or scheming raccoons, the Indoor + Outdoor Cam has you covered from every angle. Need some ideas on where to put your camera? We’ve got a few suggestions (or 23).

Front door - Burglars aren’t shy to use a home’s main entry point, and studies show that 34% of intruders simply walk through the front door. Having our Indoor + Outdoor Cam pointing down at them before they’ve even begun the job is one way to keep them out. Plus, with a Built-in Siren and Two-Way Talk, you can intervene when you see incidents occurring. 

Garage and driveway - Cars, bikes, motorcycles, and even power tools are all eye-catching targets for thieves, and it will take more than a rolling garage door to keep them safe. Chances are, your garage is often left wide open for all passersby to see, too. Use our Indoor + Outdoor Cam to catch suspicious strangers and let them know someone’s watching.

Back door - Statistics reveal that 22% of break-ins happen through back doors, since they tend to be out-of-sight. Consider adding cameras to your secondary doors to make sure you have eyes on everyone who enters and exits. 

Pet area - It’s impossible to keep an eye on your furry friend 24/7, but using our Indoor + Outdoor Cam as a pet cam comes with more benefits than just remote monitoring. If your puppy tends to misbehave, you can catch them chewing on furniture or tipping over vases, and come up with a solution to their bad habits. Like using Two-Way Talk to let them know you’re watching and see them on the couch.

Basement - Whether you keep valuables in your basement or it’s another entry point into your home, you might want to consider adding our Indoor + Outdoor Cam. Catch burglars or catch rodents on cam, either way, this is the perfect place for a security camera.  

Outdoor play area - Swing sets and jungle gyms? Fun. Accidents? Not so fun. Use our Indoor + Outdoor Cam to supervise your kids’ outdoor play, no matter where you are. 

Swimming pool - Falls, fall-ins, and all sorts of other accidents can happen in a swimming pool too. With our Indoor + Outdoor Cam, you’ll always have a protective eye on your children or anyone who’s swimming.

Yard - You shouldn’t wait for intruders to get inside before you catch them. Using our Indoor + Outdoor Cams, you can monitor the yard and spot suspicious passersby who may be scoping out your home from afar. 

Garden - Squirrels, raccoons, and other pests can wreak havoc on your garden. Our Indoor + Outdoor Cam will help you identify the menace who’s been digging through your flowerbeds. And, you can even use the Built-in Siren to ward off critters if you’re really ticked off.

Hallway - Having cameras in your hallways will make it harder for an intruder to hide or move about undetected. Even if they break in through an unmonitored room, they’ll still be caught on camera once they hit your hallways. And for every day use, you can catch kids that are up past bedtime or teens that come home late. 

Stairways - Similarly, stairways are main thoroughfares and having cameras here means intruders will be captured on camera one way or another. Alternatively, this could be a good idea to keep an eye on an elderly relative just in case they have an accident  on the stairs or anywhere else in the home.

Living room - Common areas tend to be the busiest rooms in the home. By putting cameras in the living room, you can monitor guests, ensure the kids aren’t causing a ruckus, or check on the babysitter or repairmen while you’re out. And if you’ve got paintings, antiques, and sculptures, our Indoor + Outdoor Cam can protect them and even help you recover items in case they get stolen. Or get paid back with our Cam or Complete Protect plans. 

Kitchen - You’d be surprised that there are many things thieves would want to take from your kitchen, such as food, kitchen tools, appliances, and maybe even that rare bottle of Whiskey you’ve been saving for a special day. If you’ve got a busy kitchen, then all the more should you consider putting an Indoor + Outdoor Cam. Fires? Leaks? Anything and everything happens in this room. 

Bedroom - Understandably, some areas in your household require more privacy, like the bedroom. However, you might want to keep tabs on elderly folks in your home. In this case, our Indoor + Outdoor Cam makes it easy for you to see if grandma needs a hand or accidentally takes a fall. Alternatively, keep an eye on who’s trying to snag your favorite sweater or cutest shoes without asking. 

Baby’s room - Sure, you could use a traditional baby monitor, but installing our Indoor + Outdoor Cam instead means you won’t have to keep checking on your baby every time you hear them toss and turn; you’ll simply have to look at your phone for a livestream. Or, it can be used in addition to a traditional baby monitor. Can’t be too safe, right? 

Home office - Chances are, you probably keep sensitive items and gadgets in your home office. Aside from that, some savvy thieves even take old bills, bank statements, and contracts in an attempt to hijack your bank accounts. Or, maybe you just  want the kids to stay away from the computer or iPad. Our Indoor + Outdoor Cam ensures you’ll always have eyes on important documents, files, and gadgets. 

Near a gun or guns - Need to keep an eye on your gun case or wherever else you keep your protection? Place an Indoor + Outdoor Cam near this part of your home so you’ll get notified when motion is detected to see who’s being curious.  

By your safe deposit box - You may think that a safe deposit box is secure enough, but some can still be broken into. Having an Indoor + Outdoor Cam gives you an added layer of protection for your jewelry and other valuables. 

Laundry area (or anywhere prone to water damage) - Water damage can happen to anyone, and insurance claims can be a pain. Having our Indoor + Outdoor Cam in areas prone to leaks and natural disasters will provide you with enough photo and video proof to help you get reimbursed quickly and more accurately. (Tip: Pair with our Water + Climate Sensor for added peace of mind!).

Attic - Attics are prone to unwelcome critters like squirrels, raccoons, and mice. Placing cameras in the room can help you catch these animals before they make a home out of yours and cause damage to your belongings. 

Barn or shed - Just like your attic, a barn or shed could be home to all sorts of animals or varmints — especially since it’s more accessible to outdoor creatures. 

Balcony - If you’ve got an open balcony that’s easily accessible, this might be another possible entryway for intruders. Other issues could be storms or a heavy wind that could open a window, leave your balcony covered in debris, or do more serious damage. And what about teenagers sneaking out? Having security cameras ensures you can monitor the area at all times. 

The possibilities are endless with our Indoor + Outdoor Cam. Extremely versatile and easy to set up, this is one safety staple that will secure your home from every corner, nook, and cranny.
