garage cam install location recommendations requested

[xmfan]

Hey All,
Attaching a couple of pics of front of the house, requesting recommendations for two dahua 5231R installs.

My thoughts were to put them slightly above the garage lights so I can fish the wire through the existing lighthole.

Feedback/recommendations requested.
thanks.

I would place them at the red circles I added.
The locations in yellow would have the lights in the field of view.

What are your thoughts about having a camera in the corner vs above the center of the door? I'm tentatively planning on having a camera above the left corner, aimed toward the right. I'll have another camera around the corner, on the side of the garage and aimed left to cover the yard there.

Thanks for that, @looney2ns.
At night, when the lights go on, I am assuming it only helps the builtin IRs, right ?
I got a bucket with sand and 2x4x10 ready for a trial run, will give that a shot.

Two cams on each side of the door, with their views criss-crossing each other.
