I'd tend to put the turret above the door close to the wall and rotate it to be vertical. That should help with reflections off of those pillars, this would be a considerably narrower fov than what you drew. You might want to do the camera above the door first and wait a little before you install one at face height.Reading up on that protectant.... seems it polishes pretty darned clear. Can't see that it 100% UV protects anything though... but I'm going to give it a go with the wedge. Thinking to have a starlight at the corner of the house looking down the path to the door... zoomed in so I get an ID right when they get around the trees in view of the cam. Then the wedge by the doorbell... angled a little bit the other way.... Then thinking of a nice overview cam on the ceiling of the overhang.... to see what's going on during the day.
Also going to mount a starlight z12 by the corner and zoom in on the road (incidentally right near the mailbox which is nice) and setup alpr. Something like this:

Any ID10T errors here?
You could probably put more than 1 camera on the porch roof, it'd be easier than drilling into brick / mortar. Is there any way to access the 'balcony' (doesn't look like it) or is it just a way of dressing up the porch roof?
