Looking for layout advice please!

Attached is a floor plan.

Let's say top of photo is "North".

The left and right sides of the house have gates. I'm thinking of putting cameras here:

• Inside corner between the garage and bedroom window facing street/front yard (facing south east) (1)
  
• Front of garage facing driveway (south) (2)
  
• By garage side door facing west - that side doesn't have a wide side yard, only about 7 feet - maybe have 2.8mm wide angle (3)
  
• Garage entry to house door (because I always forget if I closed the garage door) (4)
  
• Master Bedroom NW corner facing the backyard (north) - the backyard doesn't have a high fence (5)
  
• Family Room Slider (left side) facing back yard (west) (6)
  
• NE Kitchen corner facing north (7)
• SE Living room corner on the fireplace wall facing south (8)

What am I missing? These cams would be 4MP Hikvisions (from Nelly's or B&H) running on a Hikvision POE NVR. Would probably not have a Ring doorbell but looking to put something at the front door.

Thanks!

Welcome Best,

I would place at least 2 cameras to cover the driveway in light of members here posting various image captures of door checkers, and I would also consider another camera covering the street to help ID any possible car used by thieves and/or where you or guests may park in front of your home

Carelessness cost me...I got hit...

Yeah, Two cams on the front of your garage, one on each corner, criss crossing each other.
