I have a few questions.
White dot represent where I want to put a floodlight camera with 360 rotation.
Blue dot is where my current doorbell is waist high. Not ideal....
Pink dot is where I thought I would put another camera or any place to the left.
Flood light is below eye level when standing on the steps.
My thoughts are front of house requires 2 cameras.
also plan is Eufy set up with home base. Solar power and hard wire options.
Any recommendations appreciated.

I’d move the doorbell to the other side so it can be a little higher. I think the camera doorbells have more like a fisheye lens so it doesn’t need to be above the area.
I’d make the other camera (pink dot) a little harder to reach maybe under the bay window or higher up under the soffit for a better view of the overall property. The planned driveway flood light cam covers the area where the house juts out and might not be seen by the new pink dot camera location.
Hope that made sense.

Do they offer a wall light option? Might be easier to just replace the existing light next to the door if the make something compatible.

Left one doesn’t look so bad, but might give off a bit too much light. Doorbell on the other side as Ian suggested might be better. Do you have access for wiring?

Corner is better for a 360 camera
If they are IR, will need to be close to the front edge.
Need to be out of reach
This whole decision making is giving me a headache. Still haven't bought anything yet. I have 2 flood lights with 360 camera and night vision that I will limit to 180. (Waist of money, I know) in my cart and thinking a battery powered doorbell double sided taped to the front door.
I should just order it today.

- Move the pink dot up under the bay window.
- Put a blink/whatever doorbell at blue dot.
- White dot - Do you have a light fixture there now? If so, just swap for motion/360 camera and see how you like it. If not, consider a different location.
Already have a motion sense light at the white dot.
Honestly I could careless about seeing who's at the front door. More knowledge of who's creeping around at night is my concern.

I was keeping your proposed locations to keep setup simple. You can always add/move cameras to get better coverage. Under eaves/soffit are good to avoid weather triggers.
Ordered front and rear flood lights. With a 16tb storage. They will be constantly recording

Will remember next time I’m riding by
Fucking Fort Knox. No one wants your XXS Orbea.
Finally installed the Eufy system.
Still have some tweaking to do on angles.
And turning off all notifications. I don't need to see every car that drives by
But works really well.
