Is it better to use a wider field of view or 2 separate cameras? Attached is the area I am trying to cover by the garage.

What is your goal? To identify or observe?

To identify go with two cameras.

To observe the 180 is ok, but keep in mind some of them don't play well with a VMS system like an NVR or Blue Iris.

Hi @besharim

Here are the spots I would test for possible placements to cover the front of the house ..
